trijicon scopes/credo

[Joko111]

looking at the 2.5-15 credo for a hunting rifle >.... anyone use this scope or any other trijicon scopes

Not that one, but I’ve tried the Credo 1-4x, 1-6x and 1-8x on the range, and I’ve looked through/played with the other models but not shot with them. They’re decent scopes. Nothing special, and depending on what you want out of them, there can be better options for less or more. I guess it all comes down to what your needs are and why you are specifically looking at the Credo. If I were going to spend the money specifically for a hunting scope, I’d rather look to spend the money on a scope with better glass that is geared more towards hunting. I’m also not a huge fan of the fact that Trijicon is outsourcing their scope production now, though it’s not necessarily a bad thing since many companies do it. I’m just weird like that.

Personally, for hunting and that price range, I’d rather look at the Swarovski Z3, which brings Swarovski optical quality into the equation. If you could cough up another $300-$400, you could get up into the Swaro Z5 line. Those will have substantially better glass than the Trijicon. I would also throw my support behind the Leupold VX-5 HD line, particularly with the FireDot option if you need good illumination. And Leupold also has the CDS dials, which are excellent for hunting so you don’t need to run calculations in the field.

I want to shoot longer range with it .... going to be my main hunting rifle but also we have this farm that we shoot groundhogs at and I would like to use it for that as well.... we usually sit 200 yds away but can go 600.... the credo 2.5-15 power range is pretty much exaclty what I want ... it’s a 42 mm obj (I already have seekins low rings) 30mm..... and then I know they are solid solid scopes from what I hear with decent glass.... I have a proof elevation rifle to put whatever scope I get on

Optically and optionally, I find the Credo to be pretty similar to the Vortex Viper PST Gen2, if that gives you a reference for comparison. Not sure of another way to reference that given the options like the dials, elevation travel, illumination, reticle and glass.
