Reviews & Ratings for Trijicon Tenmile TM5056 5-50x56mm Rifle Scope, 34 mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP) — 8 reviews — Page 1

This is a 50 power rifle scope that I fully intended to put on a 6.5 x 280 improved rifle for long range shooting targets and prairie dogs. This scope is a major disappointment anything above 30 power is not very clear. I read a lot of reviews on this scope before buying....only one person had a bad thing to say about this scope....I should have listened to that one person and stayed with Nightforce ATACR 7-35. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO SHOOT LONG RANGE STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCOPE !

I bought this as a demo and it is not sharp above 40x. I benchrest at 50 yds. and the target rings are not as distinct as my Nightforce scopes. Others who have looked through it agree. That being said, I plane to send it to Trijicon for evaluation. It's possible I just expected to much or it was knocked around as a demmo, who knows?

This scope shines in the 30-40x range. Between 40-50x the eye-box becomes incredibly tight and the image darkens considerably. The glass is very good and being ED, it is easy to spot 6.5 bullet holes out to 500 yards. 600 yard bullet holes can be challenging depending on lighting conditions.

The turrets are brass with a zero stop. Do not over tighten the zero stop set screws or it will bind during future re-zeroing. Tracking has been spectacular and .05mils/click make it incredibly accurate for your zero.

The only downside is the reticle sub-tensions are only accurate at 40x, not 50, not less. 40x is boxed in white but believing that 40x is truly 40x without a detent point or definitive mark is wishful thinking. I would have preferred the sub-tensions to have been calibrated for 30x but it is what it is (second focal plane).

Overall I would highly recommend this scope for long range precision shooting down to 5x for hunting/target shooting. It’s just amazing to be able to have a scope useable at 5x and even 50x as needed. Great flexibility!

Absolutely love the scope. It’s super bright and clear. Looks great on my rifles.

I love this scope, it sits perfectly at home atop my 50 BMG bolt action rifle. So far I’ve got a good 100 yard zero & roughly 10 rounds (50s are expensive so I don’t shoot it much) down range with the scope showing no signs of “recoil damage”. The clarity is amazing. Build quality is top notch. The illuminated reticle is pretty cool. I’ll definitely buy another for my 338LM.

I have watched many of the videos online showing the setup and use of this scope. All reviews I have seen are very positive. I received the package promptly and in good condition. I hope to set it up soon and use it at the range.
