tbonemartinez's Review of Trijicon AccuPower RS-20 3-9x40mm Rifle Scope, 1" Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)
I have to say this is my first scope purchase so I didn't have a lot to compare it to however I have now had this item for one year and I can definitely say its worth the money. The salesmen did everything he could to match the pricing and I was very impressed.
I mounted this scope on two different AR15 type rifles, one a carbine, and another a SPR mk12 type rifle. When shooting from a bench this scope allows me to punch 1 MOA 5 round groups with ease(if I do my part) the reticle was easy to understand, it allows me to range distance without a range finder, and it is a very very fine reticle. The glass is gorgeous compared to the burris and vortex glass I have used in the past. One of several complaints about the scope, it is sometimes difficult to see the reticle during certain lighting. This isn't a huge issue, however it is annoying given this companies reputation. The illuminated reticle is very nice at low light however it doesn't help at all during that day, not surprising though.
I do not like how the scope turrets are not exposed. Not a big issues since the reticle pretty much gives you the ability to utilize hold overs, but I do find it annoying to not be able to spin in my dope for a certain load at a certain distance. Another final complaint, the adjustments on the turret are not real defined. This is kind of a mid range scope so I expected them to skim somewhere however this is somewhat unacceptable for a tactical type scope. Again not to much of a biggie considering the price point.
All in all, I believe I will likely keep this scope on this specific rifle. If I do consider selling it, it will be for a scope with exposed turrets.
