I tried out the green and red triangles and prefer the red. I think the Accupoint is the best when it comes to illumination when outside because the red never washes out, it actually gets brighter and I adjust it down, where the Leopolds, Nightforces and Burris' wash out when going from looking at dark targets to light targets. The squirrel had a little red dot of blood in the middle of his chest, his entire back was split wide open and his insides were on the outside. I was using Black Hills 223 w/60gr soft points.

I immediately aimed at his feet and fired again. To my surprise the squirrel didn't move a muscle, just stood there. The shot went a few inches over his head. I actually had a squirrel about 150 yards (laser rangefinder) I put the tip of the triangle on the top of his head forgetting about trajectory. I zero the gun at 50/200 yards so out to 200 yards its just a matter of placing the tip of the triangle at the standig squirrels feet or middle of stomach. I've made a lot of hits from 100 to 175 yards on squirrels too. In the 3 gun matches I've shot 10 inch plates out to 400 yards and my longest hit on a squirrel is 190 yards using the 1-4x Accupoint. I use it for 3 gun competition, rifle matches that have low/no light stages and shooting squirrels. The true 1 power is great for up close work and the 30mm tube makes it a very clear and bright scope. I've handled a lot of scopes and this is my favorite 1-4x scope. I sold that and upgraded to the Accupoint 1-4 with Red Triangle. I used to have the Trijicon Accupoint 1.25-4 with the Red triangle. Illumination source Fiber Optics & Tritium I do, however, think it looks the best when mounted on top of an M4 (that shouldnt matter, lol) Again, the reticle comes in crosshair or triangle. It doesn't have a true 1x (which I dont mind), and it's eye relief isnt static like the new model. Trijicon 1.25-4x24 - This is the older model, which has the flared/larger objective. I would imagine this and Trijicon glass are pretty much on the same playing field. Leupold Mark 4 1.5-5x20mm MR/2 M2 - Again, this has marks within its reticle that can be used for hold over, I believe it also has a BDC turret, which can be calibrated to whatever round your heart desires. The center circle of this reticle is illuminated with battery power.įield of View(in yards): 100 Low - 32 HighĬlick Value( yards). This probably does aim as quickly as the Trijicon, but I have read that you can aim with both eyes open, at least when at 1x. It's a ballistic reticle and is at least somewhat designed around the 62gr. Illumination source:Fiber Optics & Tritiumīurris XTR -1-4x20 - This probably has the best, or at least most useful reticle. Is the triangle good enough to pluck squirrels out of the tree? This scope is unique in that it's eye relief doesn't change between 1x and 4x, it stays static. Trijicon Accupoint 1-4x24 - I can not decide between the triangle or the crosshair The triangle has BAC for quick/2 eye aiming, the crosshair does not. On a side note, no matter which scope, I will be fitting it with a LaRue mount. Any reason you would pick a certain scope below? I'm not sure that I will need/desire a BDC reticle, as this is an under 300 yard rifle. If you didn't notice, I am partial to Trijicon and am leaning that way. Most/all varmint hunting will be inside 75 yards, with the exception being the yotes. I would like the ability to chase down coyotes and rabbits with it, as well as shoot squirrels out of the trees in the pecan farm. One thing it will dub as is my ranch rifle. I would like it to be decent in all areas, but not expecting it to be substantial in any particular area. This rifle is going to be my general 'all around' rifle with no specific use. I was going to go with an ACOG, but for various reasons, I have decided to go with a 1-4x scope. So, I bought a 14.5" LMT M4ergy and will keep it looking pretty much like a standard issue M4.
