accurately extend their range in any light.

5.5-22 x 56 NXS
The ultimate long range scope. Its 56mm objective lens provides maximum clarity and resolution across the entire magnification range. The most advanced field tactical scopes ever produced, the wide magnification factor of our 5.5-22 series allows precision accuracy at the longest ranges, yet at 5.5 power remains highly effective for shots at close ranges. Nightforce was the first company committed to perfecting extreme magnification variable power scopes. Our years of experience perfecting long-range optics is evident in every scope we build.

Re: Your opinion of the Trijicon accupoint?

From what I have heard the Trijicon has really good glass, and a awesome reticle, but a very disappointing total of 50 MOA elevation travel. Even with a canted base this makes a 100 yard zero and 1000 yards on the knobs alone hard to come by. If your are really interested in 1000 yards the Night Force is the better option.
 
Re: Your opinion of the Trijicon accupoint?

I've been considering getting a Meopta Meostar or a Zeiss Conquest but I really like the Accupoint glass. How far can you shoot out to with the 5-20 Accupoint. Trijicon told me you get 20moa up and 20moa down.

If you have to choose between these, which would you get and why?
-<span style="font-weight: bold">Zeiss 4.5-14x50 Conquest Rifle Scope w/ mildot</span>

-<span style="font-weight: bold">Meopta Meostar 4-16x44 tactical rifle scope w/ mildot</span> (has Parallax adjustment on Objective, I dont like that)

-<span style="font-weight: bold">Trijicon Accupoint 5-20x50 w/ mildot green illum.</span>
