Trijicon 1-8x28 AccuPower

[ROMEO1]

Very impressive. That's like 1 inch minus the flyer.

Please show pics of you rifle/scope set up.

Looks badass.

Anyone know where to find an objective lens cover for this scope? Its 1.4 inches and butlerscreek doesnt have covers in that size.

Butler Creek flip caps from my personal experience are always either too tight or too lose. You might want to invest in a set of Tenebraex if & when they make them for this scope.

If you're not worried about branding, Vortex has their simpler flip cap scope covers. Size 3 or 4 might do.
Alternatively, you could email AADMount Engineering to see if they have the right size.
They are good quality, probably on par with Tenebraex.

That's impressively far forward. Is the eye relief that good?

Yep. A ton of eye relief all the way to 8x. Sold my ELCAN and never looked back. lol.

 

[Tiker]

I'm surprised with the eye relief too. I dont think I've ever used an optic with as much eye relief as this one.


Thanks Carson. Those sizes look about right.

I would love to get my hands on some IOR's for a good price, FFP and Mil/Mil with good tracking. How small are the targets you're shooting at, or are you shooting for groups?

Those trijicons look good.

The reticle is too small at 1x, and too thick at 10x.

 

[mebiuspower]

Except with IOR you're going to deal with initial QC and reliability issues down the road...

When I pull out the windage adjustment knob, a little bit of the gold turret underneath it is visible. Is this normal? This doesnt happen with elevation turret.

Shouldn't do that. You would only see that if you're resetting the zero stop on the turret by removing the cap on top.

 

[Tiker]

This is what mine looks like when I pull it out to adjust it. You arent able to see the gold at all when you fully pull out your adjustment turrets? I dont mean to reset the 0, I mean just during normal adjustments.

that windae adjustment looks like its screwed all the way out..... try centering the optic by counting clicks from one side to thev other then go back 1/2 of those.

was the scope box sealed when you got it ?? otherwise i would say someone was playing spin the dial.

The box was sealed.
I took it to the range, zeroed it, reset the zero, then it became like this. I noticed that if I screw the turret in (adjusting POI to the left), this problem no longer exists. If I screw the turret the other way (POI to the right), even more of the gold would be exposed. I dont think this a problem since 99.99% of the time the turrets would be locked and the gold turret underneath would not be exposed. I'm just wondering if anyone else noticed this on theirs or if this might cause some problems that im unaware of.

Try resetting the turret again, maybe you didn't seat it properly.

 

[Tiker]

Tried re-seating it many times already. No difference.

I wouldn't worry about it, you'll likely never touch the windage knob again once it's set.

for a an expensive Scope, I would call the manufacturer while still new in your hands.
