Product Introduction - Accuracy 1st Scope Level Lume Insert

Lume Inserts for the Accuracy 1st Scope Levels. Another product added to our popular line of “glowy stuff.” Because the is the umpteenth glowy product we’ve rolled out, we’ll skim over the specifics about why/how our glow technology is some of the brightest and longest lasting available. You can learn more about colors and our glow tech here.

The short version though is we’ve made a higher performance glow insert which is a drop-in-upgrade for Accuracy 1st Scope Levels. Now you can maintain perfect precision, day or night.

What use is a scope level though, and why Accuracy 1st? Well Accuracy 1st makes one of the best scope levels on the market, their copy explains why pretty well. It has a number of advantages over bubble levels (it uses a ceramic ball) giving calibrated gradations of cant. And why use a level at all? Well, very briefly, your scope is a calibrated instrument used to compensate for factors such as drop, wind drift, and so forth. Figure a given shot is a 4 mil holdover. Tilt your rifle 90 degrees on its side though. Is that same mildot going to correspond to the point of impact? No way, not even close, you’ll be hitting 4 mils to the side and 4 low. Small amounts of cant in your rifle, while less dramatic, still cause significant shifts between POA and POI. (yes even 1 degree) You can read more about it here.

Alright, perfect, you have one but now you’re shooting in the dark. Accuracy 1st includes a slot, hypothetically to fit a trit, but for a number of reasons this may also be a sub-optimal solution. Trits are hard to get, they are delicate, the slot is an odd size (not compatible with a standard trit of similar dimension), trits go bad, etc. Accuracy 1st even acknowledges this, and sells a big disposable battery powered light which clamps to the back of the level. How about a more elegant solution though?

Enter our insert. Each lume insert is an oval, with the same profile as the factory unit. (pictured below is the OEM on the right, our insert on the left) Each is made of a temperature and solvent/lubricant resistant rubber, allowing simple press-fit installation, no adhesive or tools are required. A quick ten second charge under bright light (or sunlight) will leave it glowing for over 24 hours. No batteries, no radioisotopes, no fuss.

Because green is far and away the highest performance, we do currently only offer these in green. If you’d like to commission a run in a custom color however, feel free to reach out.
