Accupoint 3-9 X 40 Mil-Dot Crosshair - Question

[Dude-Sweet]

I have the 3x9 mildot green. And let me tell you the green is great! The country up here has more shades of green than Photo Shop! And our summers have long sunny days. The green dot is always visible when you need it! If you want this scope (and it's an excellent one) don't worry, you will love the green. I wish my acog was green =(

Well I just ordered the Green Dot version of the Mil-dot. I'm looking at the Larue mounts. I see several SPR mounts which one do you think fits this scope the best?

I have a couple of these in Amber: http://www.laruetactical.com/trijicon-accupoint-3-9x40-mil-dot-crosshair-amber-dot-and-lt104-1-mount


Seriously, these are very clear/superb optics at this price-point and doubt you'll ever have issues w/ your green nor w/ an amber dot if you ever add another one.

Since you've already purchased your Trij scope, I'd call LaRue to ensure you get exactly the mount you want (SPR LT104-1 likely). LT mounts aren't cheap but you'll never regret spending the $ upfront vs. replacing something inferior and their customer service is pretty much best in the business.

For anybody else looking @ Trij scopes not from LaRue, Brownell's has some great prices... Slightly better if you're LEO/.mil/dealer/or whatever qualified.



As an example and one of my favorites, especially for the E-Plains of CO (sorry, this one isn't 6.8):

Thanks a ton for all the info. I'm getting excited the more I hear you guys talk about this scope with the Green Dot. My lower should be in tomorrow and my 6.8 upper just shipped yesterday. Hopefully the scope and LaRue mount will come in when the upper does. Can't wait to put it all together. Never could find any 95 ttsx for sale so I bought a 100 rounds of Hornady 120 SST's to use when I get everything together.

Very nice setup Babril. Thanks for sharing the pic.

Thanks everyone for the help. I finished the build and posted the breakdown and pic's in the ARP thread.

I've been looking for one of these with a Red dot in the Mil-Dot version. All I can find for sale is the Amber and Green Dot versions so I went to Trijicon's website and they don't even list a red version. Does anyone know the reasoning for not making this scope with a red dot?

My concern is that Amber will suck during the fall and Green might suck during real vibrant spring time. I love the red dot on my AimPoint and wanted to stick with Red and didn't want the triangle or standard version.

I guess I might have to breakdown and get a green dot or choose a completely different scope. I'd hate to spend that kind of money and get something I'm not really happy or excited about.

I was in GT Distributors and the countersalesman showed me some sort of $750 Weaver Tactical I don't recall if it was 1x4 or 2x7 ?..but a lowest magnification it had a red aim dot and at 4x it had a holographic mil dot reticle..with a boatload of aiming points for elevation & windage..and if you didn't like the green reticle you had the option of a red reticle..
Why too much crazy optics for me..

I wonder how good the glass is and if it stays zeroed fairly well or not?

On my dedicated hunting rig w/out BUIS I, too, went with the 3-9x40 w/ green mil-dot reticle in a LaRue LT-104 SPR mount, and, since I'm not planning on removing the scope, I used the VFZ mounts instead of the QD levers and saved myself $50.

Wonderful glass, high quality, and very effective in those low-light situations. I have a fair amount of range time with it and some limited hunting time over last season, and, yes, it holds zero well. If you opt for QD levers, the return-to-zero seems to be very good for that mount as well from the feedback I've seen.

FYI I used Seekins rings to get below AR height on my 3-9 Trij (green mil dot )

Is the mildot reticle a true mildot? Is it Army or Marine format? Just wondering if I could use my iPhone app with it.

I don't know what army/marine format is, but this link will answer your question. It gives all the info on Trijicons mildot reticle
