I'm contemplating the 1x8 Credo HX for my LMT AR 15 and would like to know where the scope is made and any impressions you may have about this scope . 2&4 legged varmints are the intended targets!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks for the comments. I have a couple of ACOGs and RMRs that I am very pleased with but have no experience with their other products. Will give the Credo a try.I have had a Credo 1-8 in the past and it was a really nice optic all around. The glass is a very clear much like an ACOG especially at low to mid magnification. The locking turrets and tool-less re-zeroing was a nice touch. My only real complaint was the weight penalty at 28 oz or so.
You really can't go wrong with a Trijicon, they are very durable and they have excellent customer service.

I would take it out to the range for some testing first. I just got a VCOG 1-8 last week. I put it on a 18" setup. I changed the base over to an ADM QD mount. It weighs more than my ATACR 1-8 (on a dangerous game rifle) by a few ounces once you include the mount. The clarity is very close and I like the AA battery setup on the VCOG. This will be my new go to scope for hunting coyotes at night or hunting grey fox. The reticle is setup perfect for this application. My shopping list included the NX8, ATACR, Credo, and VCOG. I found the VCOG for a good price so decided to try that one blind. The other 3 I have tried and owned the ATACR. All 4 are awesome scopes. If planning on using a lot at night the ATACR and VCOG have the best performance. The Credo has a nicer eye box vs the NX8, but the NX8 is the lightweight compact option for ultralight builds.Well I wound up going with a VCOG 1-8 MRAD for my new SR-15. Talk about chunky...especially compared to the ACOG. Image quality is really impressive as is the field of view. The dot at 1X is small but bright at the highest illumination though not sure I need it with the cross hairs. But did I mention it is heavy? Have 15 days to return it so will have to see...
Oh absolutely. Weight was my initial reaction while setting the rifle up. Also did not have the sling on so the weight was not as well distributed. Great idea about the QD mount. I have one on order. Price was also a consideration, so I was initially thinking of the Credo, but somewhat impulsively, picked the VCOG instead. We are limited in the 100 yd+ ranges here so will have to wait for the weekend for some testing.I would take it out to the range for some testing first. I just got a VCOG 1-8 last week.
