For your distances get the green triangle. I have a 1-4 green triangle and it is my favorite optic over my VCOG. I have the 1-8 accupower and I like it but time will tell if it replaces my accupoint as my favorite. The accupoints have a variety of reticles especially on the 1-6 line.

I really think I want to stick with the Accupower line of scopes. The TR24 does seem nice, but I will be using this on some night hog hunts, so I place a good bit of value on the battery powered illumination. Without being able to get my hands on one before buying, I don't see myself going the tritium route.

AccuPower reticles, anyone?

I own the old style Accupoint 1.25x4 scope with the German #4 reticle. It has a sliding window that allows me to adjust how bright the dot at the crosshairs center gets depending on ambient light. It works fine.
What I don't like is the "German" part of the reticle, it is way too thick. It's almost absurd. It blocks a lot of my vision left to right. Whether this reticle is an option on the newer scopes is unknown to me. I will say you should look through one before considering that as an option. |

I have the green segmented circle BDC. Not daylight bright but intuitive and overall my favorite along that make of optic. If going the 1-8x version, I'd go red as it's daylight bright.

for retucle color, if you like aimpoints red reticle, get that. i dont like the green. it blends in with vegitation too much.
if you can seing the cost, jump to the TR25 1-6x. as for dot vs triangle, tough call but the dot is small. the triangle in the Tr25 is smaller and i like that idea better. the TR24 triangle is a little big for me. |

This is what I have, green segmented circle and is is not daylight bright. The scope is great, but I am not 100% sure if I would buy it again. Doing this all over again, I would go with the new 1-8 in red illumination. With the 1-8 getting so much attention today, I can see the 1-4 being phased out. 77 Quote HistoryQuoted:

I wound up going with the red segmented circle.
I'd love to look at the 1-8x, but the 1-4 was a better size (already have a 30mm mount available), weight (it's a LW build gun), magnifcation (don't need to go much beyond 350 yards or so) and price for me right now. |

Man, I just got it all mounted up today, but I'm very pleased with my choice. The glass quality is fantastic and from panning around the parking lot for a little bit, the illumination seems like it can hold up in daylight well enough. My only nit pick so far is that I have a little bit of a tough time picking up the number etchings on the reticle with speed. I can see this getting easier with some familiarity.
Hope to get it to a range this weekend to see what it can do. |

I hate asking stupid questions, but I can't figure this one out.
https://www.trijicon.com/resources/downloads/AcPwr_4x24_Seg_Circle_Reticle_Measurements.pdf I gather that "TYP" is some sort of measurement or unit I can use for ranging, but what exactly am I looking at here? |

Bump? The dimensions are in MOA when the scope is at maximum power. |
