Trijicon tenmile 5-25 vs 4-24

[JMCarrol]

Looking for a LR hunting scope and have been looking at the 4-24x50 and the 5-25x50. Does anyone have experience with both? I am leaning 5-25, but wanted to see if there was a reason the 4-24 might be better. I would do the 3-18 but I am not interested in the tree reticle.

I bought the new 5-25 HX after discussions with member Huntnful; very nice scope. Better than my NXS 22x and way better than my NX8 32x.

Thank you for the feedback

IMO there is no "LR hunting scope" that is SFP. FFP is the only answer for making correct wind holds at long range, under a variety of magnifications and stress. SFP will cost you an animal or a wound at some point when making legit wind holds at longer ranges.

Wapiti, what do you like better about the Trijicon over the NX8?

I have a tenmile 4-24x50 with red center dot coming in friday. Had a credo 4-16x50 and liked it other than the illumination. The whole reticle illuminated on the credo, only the center dot will illuminated on the 4-24x50 tenmile. Well see in a few days.

I’ve got both and consider them equal in terms of optical clarity… I prefer the 4x low end and can’t really discern the extra 1x on the top end
