New Trijicon AccuPower 1-8x28

[Furbyballer]

Do you want bdc or mil? Thats what it comes down to. I owned the pa 1-8 acss and sold it for the accupower. The illumination is better on the PA but the trijicon is lighter. Glass is excellent on both. You can achieve higher accuracy with the trijicon due to the cross hair and not a dot. The trijicon is also cheaper in a few places.

Is the cross hair finer on the Trijicon than the PA platinum dot at 8x?

I wonder if PA will go to their Chevron setup on the next batch?

Sorry but I'm not even a little bit interested in this.

A 1-8x in the Razor line might be a serious contended to this 1-8x Trijicon Accupower; but the much less feature-rich Strike Eagle line.

Keep crap about vortex out of this thread. If you have a side by side of one optic against the accupower cool put it in here but don't post hey check this out crap in here. Keep it about the trijicon!

I want to be excited, but others are saying on other forums that the 1-8 has the same issues as the vcog. Namely, blurry as hell on 1x with double-image, or blurry on 8x. Take your pick, they won't both be crisp and single-image.

[ExplorinInTheWoods]

So I have a vcog and I have neither of these. I can see someone who is used to an acog and how it can't be focused usinga vcog and them not focusing it. My only complaint on the vcog is cloudless skies at noon sunlight turns my nuclear green into a hunter green

I've only been out shooting with mine once so far but I haven't experienced this problem with it.

VCOG had those issues for me, and I'm used to quality 1-? variables. It also had poor illumination as you note. Here is my MK6 at high noon, for comparison.

[ExplorinInTheWoods]

I still can't get down with the Mk6 because of weight and the eye box problems that I've experience. Yes my VCOG did not live up to the trijicon standard of brightness but in low light and indoors its perfect, outdoors when it's light outside I don't really need the illumination because the reticle is big enough to use. The Mk6 is small on 1x and to me it's not easy to pick up. Both are equal on glass. Just like everything else it comes down to what you want. I think it's a solid scope but it's just not what I would spend my money on.
