General Information

RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This Trijicon® product contains radioactive material for low light/no light illumination. The radiation source is hydrogen-3 (3H), commonly known as tritium. Tritium is an odorless, tasteless, colorless gas that reacts to the human body in the same manner as natural hydrogen. The human body does not easily retain hydrogen or tritium as a gas.  However, the oxide, HTO, which is formed by the burning of tritium, is 10,000 times more hazardous. For this reason, great care should be taken to avoid flame in the presence of a Trijicon optic with a tritium lamp that is broken or is suspected of leaking. If the tritium lamp in the Trijicon product is crushed or severely damaged to the extent that the tritium lamp inside might be damaged, follow safety procedures on the next page. This Trijicon product is regulated under an EXEMPT LICENSE from the United States  Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held by Trijicon, Inc. As per the license agreement, disassembly of the scope is prohibited except by Trijicon, Inc.

TRITIUM FAILURE INSPECTION
Refer to the PREPARATION FOR USE section for the procedure to follow to determine if the tritium lamp in this Trijicon® product is working correctly.

HANDLING A DAMAGED PRODUCT

Introduction

The Trijicon AccuPoint® features a unique combination of advanced fiber optics and self-luminous tritium. Using dual-illumination technology the fiber optic light collector illuminates the aiming point, automatically balancing the brightness with the shooting conditions. The tritium illuminates the aiming point, even in total darkness. When
desired, a manual adjustment will dim the aiming point if desired, allowing users to select reticle brightness to suit personal preference. This provides the optimum aiming point illumination and ideal reticle/target contrast. With the advanced fiber-optic/tritium aiming-point illumination, the Trijicon AccuPoint® speeds target acquisition. The result:  lightning-fast precision aiming in any light for maximum shooting success.

Each model features:

• Fully multi-coated broadband anti-reflective lenses with enhanced scratch resistance
• Fiber optic brightness adjuster
• Precise, crisp adjusters
• Second focal plane reticle
• Highly durable, lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum housing
• Waterproof to 10 ft.
• Dry-nitrogen filled to prevent internal fogging

Science of Brilliant®

ALASKA-TO-AFRICA TEMPERATURE TESTED
To ensure each family of riflescopes is ready for whatever our users put them through, we perform “Alaska to Africa” temperature shock tests with temps from -20°F to 140°F.

IMMERSION TESTED
Each model is immersion tested, and every riflescope is dry-nitrogen filled to eliminate internal fogging.

SOLID ZERO TESTED
Every model is subjected to 5,000 consecutive rounds, confirming no reticle shift has occurred.

SHOCK & VIBRATION TESTED
All models are tested to withstand recoil and vibrational stresses without malfunction, so it can take a beating before, during, and after use.

DROP TESTED
We don’t believe every drop should be followed by a warranty claim, so we drop test each riflescope design to check durability.

Preparation for Use

TRITIUM INSPECTION
It is recommended that the tritium lamps be checked for proper functioning every six months, or immediately following any incident which might lead to lamp failure (such as severe impact to the AccuPoint®). To determine that the tritium lamp is functioning in the AccuPoint, enter a dark room and look though the scope. The reticle should be illuminated as similar to what is shown below.

The illumination provided by the tritium lamp is very faint and will be hard to see without a dark-adapted eye. Remain in the darkroom for a moment to adapt your eyes to the dark. The reticle should illuminate in low light to complete darkness. If illumination is not detected, try waiting a moment more to ensure your eyes have completely adapted to the dark and check again. If the reticle does not appear to illuminate in the dark, please contact Trijicon®. See WARNINGS & CAUTIONS on the GENERAL INFORMATION pages.

Adjustment Procedures

ZEROING THE RIFLESCOPE
There are two different types of adjusters in the AccuPoint® family.
Capped adjusters are located under the removable turret cap. External adjusters allow you to adjust point of impact by rotating the exposed elevation turret and in some models also the external windage turret. The riflescope is zeroed using either the adjusters located under the adjuster caps or by rotating the external adjuster if equipped.

There are two adjusters, one for windage (right side of scope) and one for elevation (top). The arrows on the adjusters indicate direction to turn the adjusters in order to change bullet impact.
For example, using the ¼ MOA per click adjuster, if the point of impact is two MOA to the left of the aiming point, the windage adjuster should be moved eight clicks in the direction marked R (Right). This will move the bullet impact two MOA to the right and onto the point of aim. Similarly, if the bullet impact is striking low on the target, move the elevation adjuster in the Up direction. Once the optic’s elevation and windage is zeroed, reset the adjuster to zero.

A: Eyepiece Lens
B: Diopter Adjuster
C: Fiber Optic
Brightness Adjuster
D: Magnification Dial
E: Parallax Adjuster (if equipped)
F: Elevation Adjuster
G: Windage Adjuster
H: Objective Lens

MAGNIFICATION DIAL
Trijicon AccuPoint® riflescopes are available in various ranges of magnification. Magnification is selected by rotating the Magnification Dial (C), aligning the white indicator marking with the number on the riflescope housing. Some models are equipped with a 2-position repositionable magnification lever. This lever is threaded in and can be moved to the other position by removing the filler screw with the supplied 3mm Allen key, tighten lever into place, and reinstall filler screw-in vacant screw hole.

Adjustment Procedures

EXTERNAL ADJUSTERS / RETURN TO ZERO
Once the rifle’s elevation is zeroed, remove the adjuster turret by turning the threaded top cap counter-clockwise (1). Remove the top cap (2), remove the adjuster body (turret)  (3), then loosen the three hex screws around the Return to Zero disk with the provided 1.5mm hex wrench. After loosening the hex screws, let the Return to Zero disc drop to the adjuster housing (4) and rotate clockwise (5) until the Return to Zero disk stops. Once the Return to Zero is set to the desired position, tighten the three hex screws to 5 in. oz. or finger tight using the 1.5mm hex wrench (6). To complete the Return to Zero adjustments, reinstall the adjuster body at the zero position (7), and reinstall the top cap (8).

CAPPED ADJUSTERS
With the adjuster cap removed, pull the adjustment dial out and it will spin freely, push down at the zero position. For adjustment dials with threaded top cap, remove the top cap by holding main body and rotating top cap counter- clockwise. Once top cap removed, lift the adjuster body off, set to zero, and retighten the top cap.

DIOPTER ADJUSTER (EASY FOCUS EYEPIECE)
The Diopter Adjuster (B) allows the user to quickly match the user’s prescription. Adjustments are made by simply turning the Diopter Adjuster in the direction which brings the reticle into focus. An indicator (+ / -) is a useful reference point for returning the focus to your customized position.

FIBER OPTIC BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTER
The aiming point of the AccuPoint® is always illuminated. During lighted conditions, the fiber optic system provides illumination to the reticle. During low to no light  conditions, tritium illuminates the reticle. The Trijicon AccuPoint® has automatic brightness control that provides ideal reticle illumination for all shooting conditions. The  AccuPoint also has a Fiber Optic Brightness Adjuster which allows the user to set reticle brightness to their specific preference. This manual adjustment is made by rotating either the fiber optic housing cover or the illumination dial to shade the fluorescent fiber optic material. The fiber transmits maximum brightness to the reticle in its full open position.

Adjustment Procedures

SIDE PARALLAX ADJUSTMENT (IF EQUIPPED)
Parallax is the perceptible movement of the reticle on the target as the shooter moves their head up and down, or side to side. Parallax adjustment can improve accuracy.  Adjustment is recommended at all distances to improve accuracy.
Checking parallax is done by slightly lifting your head off of the stock and moving your head left and right and up and down while looking though the scope. Does the reticle appear to move while it is placed on the target? If so, rotate the side Parallax Adjustment knob until parallax or reticle movement is minimized. There are yardage indicators on the Parallax Adjustment knob that serve as approximations. For example, if target is 300 yards away, rotate Parallax Adjustment to the 300 marks and make fine-tuning adjustments by viewing through the scope.

You may notice your Field of View (FOV) is more focused when making parallax adjustments. The key point is to make sure the reticle is not moving instead of concentrating on how sharp your image is. If your reticle parallax is correct your target should be sharp and in focus.

Maintenance

This Trijicon® product requires very little maintenance. If the lenses become dirty, wash using fresh water and a soft clean cloth. Remove all foreign matter from the lens surface fully before wiping them with a soft cloth. The outside lenses may fog over in cold weather. Remove fog by using a dry, clean soft cloth. Anti-fog solutions can be applied if desired.
