119 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other optics: binoculars, telescopes, spotting scopes, rifle and hunting scopes, rangefinders, night vision and monoculars we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The TR22-1G covers 2.5x to 10x magnification through a 30mm objective lens, giving a 37.6-foot field of view at the lower end of the range. That field of view is generous for a scope in this power class, making it practical for both close and medium-distance use. The Standard Duplex Crosshair reticle is a classic design with thick outer posts tapering to fine center crosshairs, which helps with quick target acquisition without obscuring the target. The scope body is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a black hard coat anodized finish, which is a durable, corrosion-resistant standard used across quality optics. The cantilever mount is included. At $790.10, this occupies the upper-mid tier of the market, and the 119-review base at 4.8 stars is one of the stronger signals of buyer satisfaction in this group.
Pros
- 4.8-star average from 119 reviews, a strong and meaningful sample
- 2.5-10x magnification covers close to medium distances effectively
- 37.6-foot field of view at lower power aids quick target acquisition
- 6061-T6 aluminum body with hard coat anodized finish for durability
- Standard Duplex Crosshair is widely understood and practical
Cons
- 30mm objective limits light-gathering compared to 40mm or 50mm alternatives
- No illuminated reticle for low-light use
- $790.10 price is above entry-level and mid-tier competition
- No field of view figure available at maximum 10x power

Performance notes
At 2.5x the 30mm objective delivers a 37.6-foot field of view, which is broad enough for most hunting applications at close to medium range. Stepping up to 10x tightens that field proportionally. The 6061-T6 aluminum construction is a recognized aerospace-grade alloy common in high-quality scope tubes. The Standard Duplex Crosshair is non-illuminated, so performance in very low light depends entirely on ambient conditions.
What buyers say
119 reviews at 4.8 stars is a strong signal. That sample size is large enough to reflect diverse field conditions and use cases, and the high rating suggests buyers consistently found the TR22-1G to meet or exceed expectations at the $790 price point. Questions about optical clarity and field durability appear to be answered positively by this aggregate.

Frequently asked questions
What is the field of view on the Trijicon TR22-1G?
The listed field of view is 37.6 feet, measured at the lower end of the 2.5-10x magnification range. As magnification increases toward 10x, the field of view narrows proportionally. The exact figure at maximum power is not listed in current spec data, but buyers can expect roughly a quarter of the low-power field of view at full 10x.
Does the Trijicon TR22-1G have an illuminated reticle?
No. The TR22-1G uses a Standard Duplex Crosshair reticle that is not illuminated. It relies entirely on ambient light for visibility. If you regularly use a scope in pre-dawn or post-dusk conditions, an illuminated reticle model would be more appropriate.
What mount does the TR22-1G come with?
The scope is listed with a cantilever mount. A cantilever mount positions the scope further forward on the rail than a standard ring set, which can improve eye relief and cheek weld depending on the platform. Confirm the mount dimensions match your rail and rifle setup before assuming a direct fit.
