I plan on getting a Trijicon 56mm rifle scope. Has anyone used these or have any comments on the scope's performance?

I have hunted with their 3-9X40 and 1.25-4X24 scopes, and I still have the 3-9X. I haven't tried the 56 mm version since I don't usually have a need for an objective that large. The 40 mm was "enough scope" for a leopard.

I have the 3x9 with the amber triangle. Although I haven't hunted with it, it is the fastest onto target of any scope I've used. Judging by the specs, I think they are based on Nikon optics.

It is a really good choice for hunting in low light at distances under about 300 yds where trajectory can be compensated for by holding over or under a little. If you are likely to need to shoot further at times I would be looking for a scope that has a reticle with marks for known hold over however most of those only work at the highest power. Front Focal Plane FFP scopes the holdover points are same at every power. The alternative is a tactical scope that you can dial in trajectory compensation for each different distance. Like on at 200 up 1moa (4clicks) at 300 /// up 3.25moa (13 clicks) at 400 etc. different for every bullet but once you know where to set the dial you are dead on. Here is another scope from samplelist that you should also consider I think I would have a hard time passing on this one in lightly used almost new condition:

Trijicon makes good scopes and the 2.5-10x56 one is very good. Trijicon scopes have no relation to Nikon, to the best of my knowledge. However, the glass is made in the same lace where Bushnell Elite scopes are made and optically, in my expereince Trijicon Accupoint scopes have been comparable to ELite 4200 (which is very good company to be in).
