Trijicon is already a major player in the hunting industry—and growing with each passing year. Here are 10 things you didn't know about the Michigan-based company.

How much treestand or elk mountain cred is Trijicon due given how well its rock-hard battle-rifle sights have served U.S. troops at war? That was the obvious question when the company diversified into all-purpose riflescopes a few years back, and it remains a key issue with the recent introduction of the AccuPower, a four-scope collection largely geared toward big-game hunters.

While Trijicon designed its new Miniature Rifle Optic (MRO) with both eyes open on the tactical crowd, many of its features make it ideal for hunters who realize the benefits of topping their rifle—or shotgun—with a red-dot.

Many shooters have been wondering how the new AccuPowers would compare with the company’s established AccuPoint scopes. Can the new kid measure up? To see firsthand, John Zent joined company VP Sales and Marketing Chuck Wahr and Driftwood Media’s Eddie Stevenson for what might sound like a contrived substitute for a “real” deer hunt.

The world is so full of binoculars these days the choices become bewildering, especially since most hunters can’t afford to spend more than $2,000 on a super-binocular. Luckily, the quality of moderately priced binoculars keeps improving, and a good example is the new, made-in-America Trijicon HD 8x42.

Trijicon unveiled its new AccuPower line at the 2015 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Nashville. It will launch with power offerings of 1-4×24, 2.5-10×56, 3-9×40 and 4-16×50.
