Trijicon TR25 AccuPoint 1-6 Review - A Worthy Upgrade To A Classic?

Published on November 20, 2021
Duration: 10:17

This review of the Trijicon TR25 AccuPoint 1-6x scope compares it to its predecessor, the TR24. Key takeaways include its superior optical clarity and wider field of view, surpassing even some European glass. However, the mil-dot reticle's small illuminated center dot presents challenges in low light and shade, relying on fiber optics and tritium without battery backup. The turrets are identical to the TR24, offering 0.1 mil adjustments, and the magnification dial has a 180-degree throw with an optional throw lever.

Quick Summary

The Trijicon TR25 AccuPoint 1-6x scope is a notable upgrade from the TR24, boasting superior optical clarity and a wider field of view. Its fiber optic and tritium illumination system offers a battery-free aiming point, but the small mil-dot center can be difficult to see in low light. The TR25 provides higher magnification and a more generous eye box, enhancing target acquisition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main advantages of the Trijicon TR25 AccuPoint over the TR24?

The Trijicon TR25 AccuPoint offers significantly improved optical clarity and a wider field of view compared to its predecessor, the TR24. It also provides higher magnification, reaching 6x, which can be beneficial for longer-range engagements.

How does the reticle illumination on the Trijicon TR25 AccuPoint perform?

The TR25 uses fiber optics and tritium for illumination, meaning no batteries are required. While this prevents blooming, the small mil-dot center dot can be challenging to see in very dim or shaded conditions due to insufficient ambient light for the fiber optics.

What are the key differences in reticles between the TR24 and TR25?

The TR24 was often reviewed with a triangle post reticle, which lacked BDC capabilities. The TR25 reviewed here uses a mil-dot reticle, offering subtensions for holdovers, though the center dot is very small. The TR25 also offers an MOA-dot reticle option.

Is the Trijicon TR25 AccuPoint a worthwhile upgrade for existing TR24 users?

For TR24 users happy with their current setup, upgrading solely for more magnification might not be essential. However, if you can accept the illumination limitations of the mil-dot or MOA-dot reticles, the TR25's superior glass and wider field of view make it a worthy upgrade.
