So i ordered the new seekins ph3 in 6.5prc and was sold on getting a Leupold vx5hd because of the weight but recently came across people mentioning issues with it holding zero. I want a scope I don’t have to worry about and have heard of great things about Trijicon. So now my dilemma is deciding on what Trijicon to get. Optics planet is having a great sale on Trijicon so I was trying to decide on either the:
Trijicon AccuPoint TR-26 2.5-12.5x42mm
Or
Trijicon Credo HX CRHX1542 2.5-15x42mm

Both are the same weight pretty much.
Basically I want to be able to take game out to 600 yards. Past that I won’t take a shot. This is my first long range build so I’m not sure what the best magnification would be. Both models come in around the same price. Also do you think 22 oz is too heavy for a backcountry rifle?

Edit:
Also is MOA or MIL better. I know MOA is better for closer and MIL is better for farther shooting

I have both of those and if shooting past 300 is the goal I’m going Credo every time.

The accupoint is mil dot but the turrets are moa. It’s complete nonsense. It’s also capped so not ideal for dialing, and I’d prefer to dial vs do a holdover that far.

Otherwise both are nice scopes.

This is complete nonsense. Mil is better for everything. Distance has nothing to do with the price of tea in China. They are both just units of measurement

Gotcha. I appreciate it. Would you say the Trijicon is worth the extra weight over the leupold? I’m probably going to get the 42 mm objective trijicon
