Anybody use one of these on their dangerous game rifle. I don't like the triangle for precise shots on deer size game, covers too much of animal at 100yds or more. Seems as if it would give quick target acquisition on a large animal. If so what color did you get? | ||

I put one on my 416 Ruger this winter and plan to use it for bears this spring. It has the red triangle. I have had one of their 3x9 scopes for years on a 30-06 and it has worked well for me. NRA LIFE MEMBER | |||

Isn't the theory that you use the TIP of the triangle for precision shooting at distance and the whole thing when they are coming at you from 10yds away? I am thinking of buying one for my buffalo rig (.416 Ruger) and replacing the 2X Leupold that is currently on it. (leaning towards Red) "The difference between adventure and disaster is preparation."

I have used the Trijicon Tripower with the red triangle on two buff and one tuskless. I think the red works very well against the gray or black animal. I'll be using a 1.25-4 with red triangle this spring on a bear. And yep, that's my understanding that you use the point for distant targets.

I have one with a green triangle on my .458 Lott. It works extremely well. | |||

I think the latest 1-4x24 is well over $800 at SWFA for example. I think the 1.25-4 is discontinued.

Brent, see the post on Triangle Reticle. Once you use one for a while you might like it. I have found that they are very precise even at long range. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

I saw your post 450 and commented on it. I just bought one on closeout for a good price to install in my 375 H&H for leopard/PG. The only color available was the amber, and I have no doubt it is a decent low light scope but my concerns were (and you answered those) at longer ranges, say 250 yds at impala sized game. jorge USN (ret) DRSS Verney-Carron 450NE Cogswell & Harrison 375 Fl NE Sabatti Big Five 375 FL Magnum NE DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||
