Why shouldn’t I get the Trijicon TenMile?

[Marshfly]

Curious on a detailed comparison between these two scopes. I have never handled a Maven, but the user's here are very excited about them.

You're the first I recall that mentions liking the tenmile better.

There's a lot of us here that have zero issues with the Tenmile reticle. But we get jumped on by people that apparently know how our eyes work better than we do. LOL.

I will never stop lobbying for reticle deforestation

I'd prefer my hunting scopes to not have tree reticles but they don't bother me THAT much.

That was my only thought of an issue before I bought it, but I don’t mind it at all. I have a 18inch barrel with the scope and it doesn’t look as bad as I thought. I don’t run a sun shade though View attachment 665159

What distance do you have it zeroed at?

What’s your favorite reticle for a FFP?

What’s your favorite reticle for a FFP?

I just like simple, half mil hashes like the swfa mq or nightforce mil-r. Im sure there are others, thats just what i have used.

IMO Tenmile/Credo scopes give the best value for the combo of proven durability/reliability and features (glass, parallax, illum reticle, magnification range, zero stop, capped windage). If you got Nightforce NXS or NX8 money, great....but if not I don't see a better option for the money. The new Maven is getting good reviews but it's a little more expensive.

May I ask why you personally prefer mil > moa? ffp or sfp?

Reading this thread will be a good start for you. The OP of it ended up being convinced and buying MRAD/FFP scopes.

SFP is BETTER than FFP for LR Hunting... Change My Mind

Did my clickbait get you? Good, because I really want to learn more and provoke some good discussion here! I'm new here and not trolling, just trying to learn more about the popular preference for FFP/MIL scopes over SFP/MOA. I'll start by describing why I am an SFP/MOA user: I have an...

I have zero issues with the tenmile reticle. I don't even notice the tree. Sure it would be better if it wasn't there. But it definitely doesn't cause me any issues.

What distance do you have it zeroed at?

100 yards for all my stuff

 

[AkMtnRunner]

How did you feel the glass compaired between the two?

I don't recall my experience with the Tenmile very well as my ownership was brief, but I don't recall any significant difference when I went to the Credo. Both were perfectly adequate.

I will also add that the illumination helps if you have a hard time seeing the reticle at low magnification on the tenmile. Choice of red or green depending on the background colors in your hunting area.

 

[Marshfly]

I really like the green illumination. I feel it is significantly less overpowering than the red while still being easy to see.

Agreed - the illumination is bright in this scope - I generally use it on 3 or maybe 4 worst case

 

[Shortschaf]

It has very tasteful illumination colors and brightness settings. The whole tree lighting up is distasteful for me.

Nightforce's illumination does seem far more crisp
