Viper Gen ll 1-6 vs Trijicon Accupower 1-4

[RKB Armory]

... There are pros and cons to each, and I feel myself wanting the best of both worlds... I guess that where the more high end optics like the Razor or a Khales come in.

Amen. Good summary.

FWIW, I just found out today Trijicon seems to be replacing the AccuPower line with these ... SFP and FFP options under 10oz

I wish they were that light!

Just an update. My Accupower came in.... I think the eye box and eye relief are a bit better than the Steiner p4xi, I previously had, it also has a more true 1x and is easier to shoot both eyes open. I think the Steiner glass was a tad bit better, and the field of view is more open and the scope body seems to disappear more, and the reticle is very bright. I prefer the Accupower overall because of the easier to shoot both eyes open. There are pros and cons to each, and I feel myself wanting the best of both worlds...

I too have both of those optics and agree with your assessment. Only difference might be that I thought the Accupower was slightly clearer than the Steiner, but then gave up trying to differentiate. Weight and magnification were my main determinants, since I personally don’t need anything beyond 200 yards (maximum range length for the club I’m a member of). I did have the Vortex PST Gen1 1-4, but not the Gen2. Glass is definitely better on the Trijicon. Can’t comment anything I don’t have.
