Title: Trijicon vs NF scopes
Post by: Bearhide on September 22, 2016, 06:10:51 AM: My buddy is looking for a mid priced scope up to $1500. I personally don't have knowledge of either of these, but he was looking at the Trijicon accupoint 5-20x50 or the NightForce SHV 5-20x56 both sfp. What are your thoughts on it? Or maybe a different scope in that range.
