Author Topic: Fiber-optic illuminated scope? (Read 490 times)

Eyes not being what they used to be, I'd like to put a low-power scope on my shotgun, but I'd also like it to have an illumninated reticle ... preferably non-electric (don't like things that can run down/wear out). I was thinking maybe some sort of fiber-optic illumination (instead of tritium). Anybody make a scope like this. TIA. PF

I agree with quickdtoo. Sound like the Firefly is the reticle for you.

Hey a little rhyming there. Did not know I was that talented. But I think that I will stick to selling scopes.

I posted a question earlier about Trijicon Accupoint scopes, but have gotten no reply. From what I have seen, they look awesome. Yes they are more expensive than the firefly, but I think it might be worth it. The big difference with Trijicon scopes are that they have is that the top of there post is illuminated, so there are no crosshairs and the post stays illuminated at all times. This is based on inforrmation found on their website. Definently worth looking into if it fits your budget. I don't have one yet, but I am getting some cash together to buy one.
