Trijicon has released their new Accupower lineup, which currently ranges in 4 optics. The 1-4x24, 2.5-10x56, 3-9x40 and 4-16x50 should be familiar as they are fairly similar to the Accupoint lineup. The primary difference appears to be the Accupower series uses battery for illumination, while the Accupoint uses fiber optics, as well as tritium.
While there are other threads for specific optics, lets use this one for experiences, pictures, and generic information as people get a chance to handle the Accupoint line. https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product1.php?id=AccuPower

I'm interested in this as I've heard good things about Accupoints and ACOGs, just wondering why the lower magnification ones jump up the price by $200. In my experience, which is admittedly average, the higher the magnification the higher the price.

This is the one with the horrendous 31 hour battery life, right?

31 hours is not that bad...
... if it were candle powered. |

It isn't an Aimpoint, and it is powering a lot more area. Personally I wish all scopes had longer battery life, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out in real world usage.

Its a hunting optic not a tactical scope so 31 hours of dawn/dusk is fine. Honestly its normal for a CR2032 LED illuminated reticle to have short battery life. Red dots do better because they can focus the light on one dot.
I dont like the reticle choices, but Im sure its a well made product. |

Never understood why they (scope manufacturers) don't run a battery tube lengthwise at the 4 or 8 o'clock position (shooter's perspective) sort of like the Comp M4S for an AA battery instead of a CR2032. They'd add a ton of battery life and make it easier to get a battery anywhere. |

Yep, could have gone with a 14500 and gotten 3-4x the capacity, rechargeable, and never leak. Though such a thing would cut into their own Accupoint market. |

yesterdays optic at tomorrow's price...... This gains nothing other than a reticle that is marginal at best. Trijicon is dropping the ball and is falling far behind the times. It is amazing how they even stay in business on the consumer side of things......

While it is very hard to pick on something that I have not seen in person, you DO have me thinking about the RS24 1-4x MIL Square assuming it is daylight bright. I love the weight being only 16.2oz and that its Trijicon Quality. I would have been SOLD if it was 1-5or6x at near the same weight and since Trijicon is getting the PA ACSS Reticle in the TA31 next year I would love to see that as an option here also. Better battery life would not hurt either but not a deal breaker.
Definitely something to consider though. I will just have to wait until I get my hands on one for final judgement. |

I knew I liked it and have it in multiple optics for a reason!  have it in a fixed 2.5x and 1-6, picking up another in 4-14 for my DMR.

Yes, I saw in the thread "battle of the budget optics a week or two ago Dimitry (I believe) saying it was going to be in the Ta31. I have no forst hand knowledge just parroting what I read.

Also Accupoint is tritium so while no batteries the lamp fades and cost several hundred more to replace in 7-10years. If I was in combat I would want tritium but I am not so a $2 battery a few times a year is fine with me. This is where the issue of role of the scope and return on $ becomes an issue. Leupold VX-6 1-6 w CM-R2 BDC reticle can be had for just over $1000 and has 6x, BDC, Daylight bright, good glass and only 14.6oz |

I've seen the 1-6 listed for 1302.00, I'm seriously considering the 4-16 accupower for my grendel that I'm gonna build with a 18" barrel. |

I was debating selling my 1-4 so I could buy a 1-6, but for now, I think ill stick with my 1-4. |
