Default Oldelkhunter?

I was reading in another post where you were talking about a Trijicon Accupoint is this the one with the like german post with afiber optic triangle on top of it? How do you like these? The guy at my gun shop has one on the shelf that has been there for quite a while I think it is a 3x9x40.Got a $499.00 price on it ,But his son-in-law who works for him said I can probally get for $350.00 hopefully $300.00 How do you think that set up would work on that 30-06 BAR I just got.The price is in the ball park with You guy's other suggestions.I checked it out just now and it looks like it would do well in early light and evening. BTW dated the rifle born in 1970

For that price I wouldn't think twice . Yep you have an olden BAR the kind I used to drool at when I was in high school and they sold for the ungodly amount of 200.00 dollars . It has no drift pins for the trigger group correct? Entirely made in Belgium.

One of the benefits of these scopes is you can have both eyes open viewing thru it and your eyes will actually adjust for that, can only be good for running shots. They have very good glass in them ...there is a lamp that illuminates the reticle and I believe it lasts for 14 years(radium) to replace the last price I got was 40 dollars might be higher then that now. Plus they pull in external light thru that cover on the ocular. I looked at one in a completely dark room and couldn't believe how bright the reticle was. Amber or Red triangle doesn't matter. Red may show up a little better on deer hide but wouldn't hold me back not for that money







function ResizeTextArea(){
// return;
var TextArea = document.getElementById("body1");
var sX = document.body.clientWidth;
var sY = document.body.clientHeight;
var sppp = 350;
if (TextArea){
TextArea.style.width = (sX-200>=450)? (sX-200) +'px' : '450px';
if (sY=300)? '270px': (sY-sppp

Yep, That's right no pins on the trigger assembly.No "Made in belgium assembled in Portugal.No gold trigger either,But what the hey.My bud has one of those scopes and loves it he has put it on several guns including a 10/22.You have pretty much made up my mind for me .Thanks. If it does not work out I can always put it on my Rem 540 X It's not a gloss scope to go with the finish of the rifle so what .I kinda liked it anyway just was wondering about whether the price was right.I really appreciate all of you guy's input on this forum.Thanks to you all.

I have owned one, and it just wasn't my cup of tea. BUT, at that price, I wouldn't bat an eye and would learn to like it. Optically, the one that I had was a very nice scope.

oldelkhunter,Talked to my gun dealer told him about what his son-in-law said about the price .Ask would he take $300.00.He looked for the invoice.Could not find it so he told me he would split the difference so I got it for $325.00.Got a one piece Leupold base.I had some rings laying around so that saved a little .(no use buying if you already have them).Not sure what kind ,But they are pretty nice Gloss blue and the torx screws thread in from the bottom of the ring so you don't see a screw head looking down on the rings .Brownie should look pretty good with this rig on it.Can't wait to shoot it.Thanks for you input and your time...........SWAMP
