3 Gun Scope - Trijicon Question

bsdubois00 · Feb 3, 2011

So I found a website with great prices on accupoints. I'm building a rifle for 3 gun and want a 1-4x style scope. I am torn between the 1-4x accupoint and th 1.25-4x accupoint.

This website has them for 780 and 705 respectively which from what I've seen is a great price for this scope. I notice the 1.25-4x has a 1" tube vs a 30mm tube.

Chime in and let me know. I'm cheap so will I lose much going with the 1.25-4x?

I've eyeing the Vortex Viper PST 1-4 http://swfa.com/Vortex-1-4x24-Viper-PST-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P44570.aspx
also been reading good things about Super Snipers new 1-4 for a future AR build http://swfa.com/SWFA-SS-1-4x24-Tactical-30mm-Riflescope-P48362.aspx

Heck I just found the 1.25-4 accupoint for 629. Maybe it's a sign.

We've been in talks with vortex about them donating a scope for the LOKI buil. I'll def check that out. Head good things bout them.

I just bought this one for around $379. It was on sale so I'm not sure if it's still going. Check SWFA and Midway.

If you are set on the Trij most definitely get the true 1X model.

IIRC you lose about 30 feet from the field of view at 100 yards.

In other words...a lot. Are you going to play 3 gun with us?

I have owned both the TR21 & the TR24. If you are spending over $500 on a scope don't fook around and get with the 21? The lesser FOV, lack of true 1X, and longer eye relief are worth every bit of $75-200.

Both scopes have a fairly long eye relief so if you shoot nose to charging handle you gotta get a LaRue SPR-E mount. The TR21 requires one no matter what. The TR24 can be used with other mounts but you gotta keep your head back.
