I'm trying to decide between my Trijicon Credo 2.5-15x44 (SFP) and my Tenmile 3-18x44 (FFP) for my backcountry rifle this season. I’ve historically run a Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 (SFP), but moved on to something with a capped windage turret.

If you had to choose between the two, which would you run? This rifle will be strapped to my pack as I hike all over creation, and I don’t plan on taking shots at elk-sized game beyond 400 yards. At the range, I’ll reach out to 700ish yards (why I added magnification). I know the Tenmile 3-18x44 is a Rokslide favorite, but I’m a bit concerned about the reticle’s performance in low light.

Thanks for the input.
 
I have both. Ran the 2.5-15 this year. I think SFP for hunting is solid. I try and dial where I can and not hold over so not having FFP doesn’t bother me.

If I’m not mistaken both did well on drop tests.

But do you dial for wind?

I haven’t yet outside of shooting matches. Most of those I hold and use FFP scopes.

The shots I take on game aren’t far enough to dial for wind. If I hold I hold just left or right of vitals. I’ve never held more than 6” which is easy enough to do without sub-tensions.

That said, if I was taking a shot that was so far where wind was a factor (600-1000yds is maybe), chances are I’d be at 15x and sub-tensions would be true.
