Not sure where you’re looking but the 2.5-15x42 Trijicons are under $1000 on Euro Optic and other online stores.I have nightforce nxs and like them, just not the compact. The Trijicon is $400-500 more. To me, the reticle are pretty similar. I am just having a hard time justifying the extra money given the both seem to be well regarded in holding zero and tracking.
