I have been wondering about this optic  replacing my EOTech lately.  The variable magnification and its BAC has obvious advantages.  However, I have been wondering about the clarity of the scope, both reticle and lenses.  

So for those that have one, how clear is the triangle reticle; is it crisp and sharp or just more of an oval?  How does the lens clarity compare to normal ACOGs such as the TA01?

TIA

I have an Accupoint 1.25x4 in red and a TA31.The clarity of the glass ,donut and triangle seem comparable in both scopes.With a little more practice I think I can be about as fast with the Accupoint as I am with my Eotech.In my opinion the Accupoint is a great scope.

Hi chewbacca,

I like the Accupoint but I would recommend the ACOGS over the Accupoint!

Dave Fortier does a write-up on the Accupoint (and other scopes) in The Book fo the AR-15 which should be at your local newstand now.

He gives it high marks, including in the clarity department.

Those who have them tend to love them.

I have a 3X9 AMber Accupoint mounted on my AR15 carbine, Clarity is excellent, I do not think it is as solidly built as an ACOG, But I do not plan on using it to hammer in any nails so it should be ok!

I would like to see a review on the 2.5-10X56. I has lower and higher magnifacation than the 3-9.
As to clairity I have used the 1-4 and 3-9 a bit and they are very clear scopes. The 1-4 was red and the 3-9 amber. Most seem to like red but the amber is more sharply defined to my eye. I have a TA50-4, (compact 3X with amber cross hair) and while I like it the Accupoint is much more clear.

ipschoser1 posted a pic taken through his on page 7 of this thread: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=158932. The reticle is probably sharper than what the pic shows, though; you can IM him, and ask him about it.

If you turn the fiber optic off in the daytime,you have a sharp black triangle.
