Trijicon Accupower 1-8×28 Review – Pros & Cons

This scope line also comes with a forgiving exit pupil that makes it perfect for use with almost all kinds of carbine style rifles including AR-15 rifles.

Segmented Circle Crosshair Reticle Design

It comes with illuminated segmented circle reticle, helping shooters to acquire targets at close ranges with both eyes open. The same reticle design also helps shooters in quicker shot placement at long ranges as they can compensate for drop accurately without having to touch the turrets.

Segmented Circle Crosshair reticle is perfect for versatile shooting applications, be it –

Engagement of targets at unknown ranges
Competition shooting (targeting under the clock)
Engagement of more than one target at different ranges

This reticle design is neither too simple nor busy enough, enabling shooters use it in wide array of cases.

Reticle located at First Focal Plane

First Focal Plane reticle seems to get larger with increasing magnification and smaller with decreasing magnification. This essentially means that drop calculations remain the same no matter what the zoom is. Many pro shooters find this feature more suitable than Second Focal Plane reticles as the drop calculations remain constant in FFP reticles. In case of SFP reticles, the drop calculations change with changing magnification, making the drop calculations viable only at maximum zoom. However, at maximum zoom, field of view becomes smaller. It becomes a problem in shooting applications such as hunting and competition formats because the hunters and competition shooters may find it difficult to locate a target at maximum magnification. Therefore, pro hunters and competition shooters with the need for a versatile scope will find this Segmented Circle Crosshair reticle (red or green illumination) helpful.

Cons

Price

As Trijicon 1-8×28 Accupower comes with First Focal Plane reticle, it is more expensive to manufacture. That’s why it’s pricier than many other scopes in the same category. However, the robust features make it a value purchase for shooters who stress on quality of scopes, precision, and versatility.
