I recently acquired this scope with the Green Post BAC reticle, paired with a LaRue Tactical 807 QD mount. The clarity of the glass is impeccable across the 1x-6x range. I've previously used the TA31RMR & TR20, both of which have limited eye relief. However, the TR25 offers a generous 4 inches, which is consistent throughout its magnification range. This feature is particularly impressive on my 11.5" SBR. The mount I chose complements the scope perfectly, ensuring a natural and comfortable sight picture without any adjustments. At 1x, the scope's performance rivals that of my Aimpoint T1. The green triangle reticle is easily discernible in low light, thanks to the tritium, and is even more prominent in daylight with the fiber optic in play. The fiber optic brightness adjustment is intuitive and proves handy for distant targets at higher magnifications. Securing this scope at a discounted rate, I believe I got an excellent deal without compromising on quality, as is expected from Trijicon. A note for those considering the mil-dot reticle: based on my experience with the TR20, don't expect a vibrant "green-dot" in low-light conditions with only tritium illumination. The mil-dot is more pronounced in daylight with the fiber optic's assistance, but it can appear dim in shaded areas. This is likely due to the mil-dot's size, which means less tritium and, consequently, less illumination. To give context, the mil-dot on the TR25 is roughly .61 MOA at 6x, whereas an Aimpoint T1 offers a 2or4-MOA dot, and an EOTech 512 provides a 1-MOA dot. Given the dot's size, the crosshairs will be your primary guide. Depending on your needs, if you want a reticle that stands out for quick targeting with reasonable precision, the triangle post is ideal. For more precision-oriented tasks, the mil-dot or cross-hair reticles might be more suitable.

I reviewed the TR-24 and was impressed with its bright reticle due to its fiber optic technology. With the TR-25, we chose the mil dot reticle which, while having drop capabilities, has a rather small center dot. This tiny dot means it's less visible in certain lighting conditions and almost invisible at night. But when it comes to glass clarity, the TR-25 is amazing. It's incredibly clear, on par with premium European glasses, and boasts a vast field of view. Externally, the TR-25 has kept the adjustment turrets of its predecessor. The turrets are secure and low-profile. There's a diopter and magnification dial that goes from 1 to 6. It also has a fiber optic adjuster, which, in my opinion, doesn't make much sense for the mil dot reticle. I prefer the design of the original TR-24 as this newer version seems bulkier. The scope is also a tad heavy at 19 ounces, but it's still lighter than some other models. For long-range shooting, the TR-25 offers two main reticles: the mil dot and the MOA dot. We tested its accuracy at different distances, and it performed reasonably well, especially when paired with the right ammo and settings. In conclusion, the TR-25 is undoubtedly an upgrade from the TR-24 in terms of features. It offers better glass, a wider field of view, and more magnification. However, if you're content with the TR-24 and its triangle post, I don't see a compelling reason to switch. But if you can work with the illumination limits of the TR-25's reticles, it's a worthy upgrade.

Upon unboxing, I found a scope cover, lens pen, sticker, manual, and warranty card. The scope uses fiber optic and tritium instead of batteries, meaning no LED illumination. The fiber optic feature lets you adjust the green reticle's brightness. This scope is excellent for precision shooting, thanks to its very fine dot reticle, but might not be as efficient for close-quarter combat. You won't need an additional throw lever as it comes built-in, which is smooth yet rightly tight. The turrets are tactile, and the construction is made of durable 6061-t6 aluminum. The glass clarity is impressive, similar to the Razor, with a wide field of view at 1x. The eye relief is a generous 4 inches, and it weighs 19.2 ounces without a mount. Some of its weight is saved since it doesn’t have LED or other electronic components. It's water-resistant up to 10 feet, and it offers multiple reticle options. I highlighted the standard duplex fine reticle which is great for precise shots but might not be the best for close combat. There's also the triangle post reticle for those who might want a closer combat focus. I compared it to the Steiner P 4Xi, which is another excellent optic but slightly heavier. One of the only downsides might be its price, but given its quality, I think it's justified.

The scope comes with tritium for illumination, which has its advantages and downsides. Tritium, though self-illuminating, has a half-life and dims over time. In contrast, battery-operated illuminations can be adjusted for brightness. From my experience, tritium can be hard to see in particular lighting conditions without an external light source, making it not always ideal for my purposes. The Accupoint tr-25's image quality, however, is excellent. The 1X setting provides a broad, clear view, which remains impressive even at higher magnifications. The eye box is forgiving, allowing for flexibility in head placement without compromising the image. When comparing it to other scopes like the Sig Tango 6T, Credo HX, and Striker HD, the Accupoint stands out in terms of field of view and overall optical clarity. While the tr-25 doesn't fit all my needs, especially regarding reticle options, I can see its appeal. If I wanted a durable scope that delivers optically, this would be high on my list. Still, I believe Trijicon could enhance this model further by offering more diverse reticle choices from their extensive inventory.

The clarity of its glass stands out, matching or even surpassing some of the more pricey models, like the Vortex Razor Gen 2. But what puzzles me is why it's not more popular within the shooting community. This optic has incredible glass quality, with vibrant and sharp visuals. To me, it feels more European than Japanese. I opted for the standard mil-dot crosshair from the available reticle options. While it may not be as precise as modern reticles, it offers more versatility, especially for those who want a clean sight without distractions. The eye box is impressively good, almost on par with the Razer Gen 2. One significant advantage the AccuPoint has over the Razer is weight, shaving off more than two ounces. The controls on the AccuPoint are user-friendly, with a smooth magnification adjustment that hits just the right balance between stiffness and ease of use. However, I feel the turrets could be better; they remind me of something you'd find on a budget optic. So, why isn't this scope more popular? It might be because Trijicon released the 1-8 version around the same time, which attracted more attention due to the "more magnification is better" mindset. But in my opinion, the TR-25 AccuPoint is superior to the 1-8 AccuPower in terms of glass clarity. In conclusion, if you're considering an LPVO, don't overlook the Trijicon TR-25 AccuPoint. It's an underrated gem that's worth every penny.
