Trijicon Tenmile?

[MikeMcCasland]

Hey Guys,

I'm tossing around the idea of trying out a Trijicon Tenmile 5-50x scope for F-Class and general plinking on a built up 700.

It looks to have all the features I want (ED glass, decent looking reticle, turrets look ok from the pics), with the only downside really being that it's a boat-anchor weight wise

That said, I've consolidated all of my match guns to NF Comps, and most everything I look through relative to that scope looks pretty mediocre from both an image sharpness and clarity perspective (at least to my eyes; I know everybody is different).

That got me to wondering, have any of you compared the Tenmile to an NF Comp side by side? If so, how does the image quality compare? I like the lower end zoom range of the Trijicon; I think it'd allow me to have a more versatile rifle, yet you could still to drag it out to a match every once in a while.

I'm admittedly a little leery of even dropping the money on one; target optics aren't exactly Trijicon's forte. I know Sightron offers a very similar SVSSED scope...but the 5x on the low end from Sightron is appealing, and they seem to be the only game in town.

I'm happy with mine. After I bought one my friend bought one we both have either had or have 10 to 60 March's we compaired them and like the Trijicons better. I shoot a 223 and can see 22 holes at 600 yards. And they have 100 MOA elevation and track prefectly.

I have one and would not trade it for anything else. BUT like you said everyone does not see the same. Hard to compare something you cannot look at yourself. To me the NF comp makes everything look washed out. Like an overexposed photo. The color on the Triji is spot on. (and yes, they are built like a tank)
Other notes, you will not believe how well the Triji is packed for shipping. The box they come in is unreal. Second, after you reset the zero on the turrets, you will want to slap the guys who put those tiny screws on everything else. It is way, way better. And if you buy one, do not forget they come with a windage stop. You may need to jump over it or remove it when you sight in your gun. I have a friend who bought one after looking at mine, and he thought he got a bad scope because he could not move it over enough to sight it in. I showed him the stop and all was well. (after I gave him a little jazz that is)

I have one and like others have said there is a lot to like. Have not compared to a NF but it does compare well to my Razor. The only negative would be eye box can be challenging for me over 20 power. I really like the turrents and the ease to zero.

This is the first time I have heard about these. They seem like good value at less than $1800 best price I saw.

The reticles on the 2FP models are a little weird with an “even” number at 40X instead of 50X, but I don’t think that would stop me from buying one.

Thanks for posting the question and for the experiences with this scope.

Mike I currently own 2 of the Accupower 5-50 I called Trijicon and they
said it exactly the same as the ten mile.
They are heavy if you are worried about weight.
I have a Ten mile coming next week.
The glass it really clear. You don't get that haze thats others are talking about with
other scopes.
Only thing to decide on it the reticle chose.
The simple cross hair is in a 1/8 MOA adjustment, the floating dot is in a
MRAD .05 adjustment. Which is about 1/6 MOA
The cross hair and dot sub tension is about .1 at 100yds, so still pretty fine.
I have one of each. and getting another MRAD cause I like the floating dot better.
If they had the dot and MOA, I would have had all 3 in that.
I can only compare it to the SIII 10-50x60 (nonED) and Vortex GE
It's better than those two.
I did have a Sightron 45x ED glass and found it better than that also.

I have both the Nightforce Comp and the Trijicon 5x50. Very comparable scopes. Both are very sharp, free of obvious optical aberrations, both track perfectly. The Nightforce reticle is a bit thinner which some people like. The Trijicon is brighter and I think renders a more accurate color. I would not kick either off my rifles. If I buy another it will be the Trijicon given a street price 600 bucks cheaper than the Nightforce.

 

[drano38]

I don't have a Trigicon, but everything I've read says they're great. Clear, bright to 50x, foregiving eye box, and side paralax works well.
If the MOA version's reticle had a dot like the mil version does, I'd get one for my 600/1000 yard rifle.
But I don't think my brain would like the .05 mil adjustments after using MOA scopes forever.

I don’t know much about Trijicon I’ve only owned their 4x acog. However that sightron sved handily beats the nf comp in clarity b

I have the Trijicon Accupower 4.5-30x56 (now called 4.5-30x56 Tenmile but it’s the same scope) and the new Trijicon Tenmile 4-24x50. Both excellent scopes with amazing glass and rock solid extremely repeatable mechanics. Trijicon is most definitely the best bang for your buck for a riflescope in my opinion. They will easily run with the best scopes on the market but can be had at a price point that is a lot easier on the wallet.

And as an added bonus, all Trijicon riflescopes come with Tenebraex caps!

I have the Trijicon Accupower 5-50x56mm HD . I think its equivalent to the Athlon Cronus BTR Yes SFP vs FFP) Just recently ( 2 weeks ago) bought a Delta Stryker Gen 2 4.5-30x56mm FFP to my 63 year old eyes the delta is a solid step above them both.

The Delta has the same glass. Both made at the same factory in Japan (LOW: “Light Optical Works”). The 4.5-30 is just a better optic than the 5-50 because it’s not being stretched so far out on magnification range. Being the same glass, the 4.5-30 Accupower or Tenmile also has a better view than the 5-50. Asking a scope to have a 10x mag range and still give a good view is crazy. But LOW pulls it off for Trijicon.

However, the mechanics are slightly different on the Trijicon. Delta screwed up on their side focus range choice. The Trijicon is much better for focusing on long range targets

 

[Larry W]

The 2020 Delta Stryker changed the Parallax adjustment, did they merely paint new numbers or change the Mechanics ? The Nightforce Atacr is made at LOW factory ,have you ever made a side by side comparison ? I haven't. That British scope reviewer said "The Delta optics were better than the Athlon Cronus BTR. After taking it out a few times ,I agree . Is the glass the same as the Trijicon , I have no reason to disagree with you.

Yes. I owned the first version of the Delta Stryker 5-50x56 and am very familiar with the glass. Sold it because the parallax only went to 300 yards before infinity. Made it very difficult to dial in a sharp picture at long range targets over 600 yards. Within the useable range of the focus the glass was excellent and very sharp

 

[Larry W]

Mine starts at 23 yds,30,40,50,60,75,100,150,200,300,500,800,1000,1500,and then a stretch to infinity and another stretch to stop.

Yeah I heard they changed it because there was a lot of us complaining that the original scopes were basically made for the short range shooting in the European market. I think they were gearing the original 5-50 for the rimfire competition crowds and eventually realized that was a financial mistake. Glad to hear they changed the parallax.

Other issue with Delta is you can only get a 10 year non-transferable warranty because they are not a US based company. All the Trijicon scopes come with a lifetime warranty.

And the Tenebraex caps Trijicon supplies with their scopes are the best caps available. About $120 for a set if you were to go buy Tenebraex caps separately.

But as far as glass goes, they both use the same level of quality ED glass from LOW which is top notch.

 

[Larry W]

Oh yes Trijicon did load the box up with many goodies. I also have the Accupower 5-50 .

I have the ten mile it's bright and clear and heavy it's a Tank

 

[NateHaler]

Anyone know of a better deal than the $1,682.99 currently advertised on 'https://gunzonedeals.com/'? I'm thinking real hard on this scope too, primarily because of Ledd Slinger's excellent review (thanks!), and because it's roughly a grand less than the Kahles 10-50x56, and has a lot more built-in elevation adjustment. But holy smokes, it weighs 7 ounces more, i.e. about as much as two joints in the Cheech & Chong movies of yesteryear.

Decisions, decisions...

BTW, when factoring in total cost, did you know that some outfits charge sales tax to your state, and some don't? (I'm glad for the latter, and hope they continue to 'resist'.) In my AO, that saves $138 on the TenMile. Which hereabouts would buy 1k primers, 5 gallons of diesel, and 6 rolls of toilet paper.

 

[Ranger188]

That's a deal. If you want one, buy it.
I have 3 and payed high $1500 - low 1700
$50 one way or the other won't kill you.
