The reticles on those are usually way too fat for precision shooting. For hunting, it might be a decent optic, but not my primary go-to by any means. The one good thing about the Acupoint is the batteryless system with the reticle lit by fiber-optics, but people often deaden them in bright light. I think you can rotate a ring to control the exposure of the fiber-optic element on the Acupoints for that.
If you are using your Grendel for hunting, I would look at something with less magnification on the low end if you are going to shoot pigs and deer in dense woods at closer ranges. If you're shooting deer at 100+ yds, I'd go with something else. The Trijicon scopes are a bit pricey, and for the money, you can get better glass and features.
If you want to shoot the Grendel for accuracy, this is not your scope. For those that have had great success with Acupoints, this is no condemnation by any means, but I would steer someone more in the direction of a finer reticle and 30mm tubes, with reliabe gears and target knobs. The Trijicons are not set-up for constant corrections and fine aiming points.
