Trijicon Tenmile HX 5-25x50 FFP

[Ken Morris]

Does anyone have any time behind one of these yet? Slim picking on reviews. Trying to decide if the new reticle and extra zoom is worth spending extra money over the 3-18x44 with the tree.

What did you end up buying here? Any advice on 5-25x50 vs. 3-18x44??

I really like the 5-25 ffp hx. Like it more than my nxs, nx8, or Mark 4hd.

I am between this and a NF ATACR in the 4-16x42... I realize that is a little bit of an apples and oranges comparison, but that is where I landed. How is the reticle on the 5x power setting? Unfortunately, I can't find either of these scopes locally to look for myself!

i like my tenmile 18x better than my nf nxs 22x. However the reticle is a little busy but doesnt really bother me.

Reticle is thin on 5x. In a thicket a 6am you'd need illumination. Windage hash is difficult to see but I wouldn't expect it to be used if on 5x anyway. Lowest I've had it when hunting was 10x and I don't recall any issues; normally on 22x.

I think the 3-18 would be a PERFECT fit for me if it had the reticle the 5-25 hx has... Can't win em all!

Thanks for the info fellas!

agreed! I wish it didnt have the Christmas tree reticle. but IMO the other pros outweigh that 1 con, I really find it doesnt bother me

Hey, Can you tell me if the illumination lights up just the dot, or the entire reticle?

 

[wapitibob]

Dot or both, and dot is always brighter than the reticle. No halo till near max. Couldn't get a picture worth posting.

Thank you!
