Definitely not expecting it to be a featherweight just curious what it will weigh in at. Like I said above supposedly there are people out there with hands on. I'm fine with and expect the added weight for the added capabilities I just hope it's not any heavier than it needs to be. |

New Trijicon Accupower 1-8 Did a quick browse and didn't see anything? Just curious if anyone had any knowledge on this outside the press release? I heard it was possibly at the Dallas Safari Club event last week but not from anyone I know personally. Curious about MSRP actual (as opposed to reported) availability date etc. WOW! DAmn!! My 1-4 Accupower is being replaced and is supposed to ship out from them any moment now. I wonder how far off this thing is and if they would let me upgrade to this? |

This is FULL ON RUMOR, but there is one guy claiming a rep told him MSRP of $1599. This was taken from a FaceBook comments section so take it as a grain of salt.

Probably mostly made by Light Optic in Japan with a very similar design as the Primary Arms 1-8x but with a different reticle.
It will be imported to the US as a 80%-er like all other Trijicon conventional scope. Assemble in the Trijicon factory with just enough parts to be legally labelled made-in-USA. Charge the premium because of that and the Trijicon brand name. If it actually has retail of $1600, then it's actually no bad. But this is Trijicon, so it will probably more than that. I guess I will try it out at SHOT Show Industry Day or the night-shoot. |

Well now, this certainly has my attention. I would have liked to have seen a 1-6x Accupower. I can't wait to see the specs, but I also agree with no way in hell is this thing going to be 20 oz. Life just aint that kind.

Keep an open mind. Hopefully Trijicon nailed it with this, and the reticle will essentially shrink to a bright red dot that's usable like a RDS at 1x. There's so many good reticle designs that could make this awesome in FFP.
IMHO, you need FFP in a scope that goes up to 8x, otherwise the reticle is worthless at 4x, 6x, etc... If I'm buying a 1-8, I want the option to really use it through the full mag range, otherwise I'd just get a 1-4. Hopefully Trijicon nailed the reticle. That's going to make or break this scope.

Folks,
Doing some research I found this information: http://www.cmcgov.com/TRIJICON-ACCUPOWER-1-8X28-MOA-SEG-GR_2.html?sc=28&category=10218687 The vendor, CMC Government Supply is showing the MSRP on the 1-8x Accupower to be $1699.00. CMC's street price = $1304.00 ! ! ! Some of you guys have been pretty spot on with your guesses at expected pricing. From what I can tell it's going to be about 10.5" to 10.75" long. Weight I'll guess, based on other similar Accupowers, to be 20-23 ounces without scope mount. I'm hoping they offer the darn thing with a .300 BLK reticle ala the TA-33s and the VCOG. BTW....if this scope is what many of us hope it will be....is this scope being introduced with the death knell of their VCOG series ? Thoughts ? |

We all agree that the brightness needs to get fixed, my 3-9 doesn't seem to have much problems but my VCOG even with the green could use a tad more brightness. I'm really interested to see the reticle and the price point. Anyone going to SHOT show needs to snap pics or post on here how it is. I'm thinking this may be the scope to replace my 3-9 accupower on my colt 901. The 1-8 could be the do it all battle rifle scope for my rifle.
