Trijicon Introduces the AccuPoint 1-8x24 Dangerous Game Riflescope

Trijicon has expanded its AccuPoint lineup with the introduction of the new AccuPoint 1-8x24 riflescope, aimed squarely at hunters pursuing dangerous game and those looking for a highly versatile, battery-free optic. Developed with input from professional hunters operating in environments ranging from Alaska to Africa, the AccuPoint 1-8x24 is designed to support big-bore rifles in both close-quarters and extended-range scenarios.

Trijicon Optics @ TFB:

• TFB Review: Trijicon Credo 1-10x28
• New Trijicon RMR Type 2 Reflex Sight - 3.25 MOA Green Dot
• TFB Review: Trijicon Tenmile HX 5-25x50mm FFP

Central to the new model is Trijicon’s Hunter Holds MOA reticle, which allows most dangerous game cartridges to be zeroed at 50 or 100 yards while providing straightforward 50-yard hold points out to 250 yards. This layout is intended to simplify shot placement during fast, high-pressure encounters without sacrificing precision at distance.

Like other AccuPoint models, the 1-8x24 uses Trijicon’s tritium and fiber-optic dual-illumination system, eliminating the need for batteries. Reticle brightness automatically adjusts to ambient lighting conditions, with a manual override available depending on the configuration.

The scope features premium multi-coated, broadband, anti-reflective glass for clarity and brightness, housed in a hard-anodized, military-grade aluminum body. Tool-free windage and elevation turrets provide repeatable adjustments and consistent tracking.

As with the rest of the AccuPoint line, the 1-8x24 is subjected to Trijicon’s “Alaska-to-Africa Tested” protocol, including solid zero testing, recoil and vibration testing, drop testing, and immersion testing to ensure reliability in extreme temperatures and harsh field conditions.

The Trijicon AccuPoint 1-8x24 has an MSRP of $1,904.
