You guys have some experience with this scope so hopefully you can help.
I recently purchased a used Accupower 1-8 and am having trouble with it. I don’t have enough + diopter adjustment to bring the scope to anything near 1x without ending up with a blurry reticle and background. The midpoint diopter adjustment gives something less than 1x with double vision. It’s a similar experience to using my Viper PST Gen II 2-10 on 2x. For reference the viper is a little clearer and has less edge distortion. There has to be something wrong. The only thing that looks off is the little ring towards the objective bell. It’s knocked out of alignment and not flush with the scope tube.
I’m coming from a Razor 1-6 and and Steiner P4xi before that and both were much closer to 1x with proper diopter adjustment.
Any thoughts? I’ll probably shoot Trijicon an email.
