Welcome to The OT!
 
My friend, I ran a search and came up with the following.
Hope it helps!
 
 
There's been some very favorable reviews from our members here recently regarding the Accupoints.
 
If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

I was also curious to these scopes.  Is the quality of glass worth what they sell for?  I think they could make for a pretty sweet scope on my coyote gun.  I would love to hear of any experience people have with these scopes, mostly the accupoint.

Wow, looks Like Trijicon came out with some new reticles choices, 4a, plex and mil-dot.

Now THAT is very interesting....I would be 300% more interested in a Trijicon if they had conventional reticles that were illuminated.

hmm.

That is Trijicon's biggest scope.  The other two Accupoint scopes are 3-9x40 and 1.25-4x24.

...............................................................If you can, find the article in the Oct. `07 issue of "American Rifleman" magazine; page 96. The article is about the 3x9 Trijicon TR20. The same written there would also apply to the larger Trijicon scope! That article is very informative!....................Also, you can go to Trijicon`s web site and view the videos and additional info!

...........................................The Trijicons scopes are noted for their 2 eyes open, fast target acquisitions (moving or otherwise), which are mounted conventionally (not like scouts)...........According to Trijicon and other studies performed, the illuminated arrow sitting on thin posts sends the quickest signal to the user`s brain for the fastest possible target acquisition, with both the eyes open. Other reticles will not be as fast and are too busy!..............For that reason, I doubt Trijicon will offer other reticle choices! Also, the tip of the arrow offers a precise POA (point of aim), just as well as the crosshairs do for very tight groupings!!

Trijicon offers a bunch of other reticles.  Stop by their website or SWFA's Trijicon section for that matter.

They also offer #4 and MilDot in Accupoint scopes as well as 5.56 and 308 specific reticles in some version of ACOG.

The arrow is indeed very fast and may very well be the fastest.  If I were to buy a Trijicon, I would probably go with an arrow reticle, especially since I like inverted chevron aiming oints on Russian military scopes, so I am used to aiming with an arrow-like aiming point.
