Rifle Scopes Trijicon Credo!

I havent had the 2-10 but i got the 1-8 and i found the focus to be crappy. No edge clarity at all.
I'm kinda confused on the new lineup. Hearing that the 1-6 and 2-10 are new optics? But looks like the 1-4 and 1-8 are just accupowers?
But I'm curious about the 2-10 as well, I need a SPR optic too. Looking at the PA GLX 2.5-10, but wanting to see some reviews on the Credo 2-10 before I do anything.
Shit. I was hoping I was the only one. I sent mine in to trijicon because of this. You focus the reticle using the fast focus like normal but then as soon as you zoom to 8x the target focus goes to shit. You can then clear up the target by adjusting the eye piece focus but obviously that brings the reticle out of focus, not to mention you shouldn't need to focus anything on a 1-8! They better get this fixed.
It's a fixed parallax optic, I think what you are describing sounds like nothing out of the norm for one.
We understand that it’s a 1-8 but it’s just how optics work. Its only going to be focused at one distance. We can make the effect appear to be less extreme by severely restricting the pupil diameter (try taping over the objective and punching a small hole in the middle. Like an iota dry fire cap), but the parallax error will still exist.
Edit: The PA optic is probably just equally blurry at all distances, even the one the parallax is fixed at. I don’t say that in a way to talk shit. I had a mk6 I was trying to dial the parallax out of and it wasn’t happening. Took that rifle off the tripod and put on a rifle with a nightforce. I realized that the mk6 didn’t have a parallax issue but the glass was just less clear

Well, I'll say this for Trijicon: Their RMA process is pretty damn smooth. I emailed them about target focus issues throughout the zoom range, had an RMA number a day later, shipped it in, got confirmation email a few days later they received it, they emailed me a couple days later that they cannot fix it and are sending me a new one. We'll see how the new one is.
Jeff, sorry man but I have to disagree. If there were target focus issues with these types of optics the entire 3-gun world wouldn't be using them, or LEOs. The whole idea of this optics is to be able to rapidly transition from close to far targets at variable zoom without needing to adjust parallax, and certainly not have the target out of focus. To be clear, I was focusing on a berm at just 25 yards and it was focused at 1x and out of focus at 8x. This has nothing to do with parallax.

FFP 1-8's aren't super popular in the 3 gun community, and a lot of cops just don't know any better. Take the 2.5-10 mk4, a tactical staple, and set the parallax to 100, the power to 8x, and take a look at how your target at 25 looks. Dial it down to 2.5x. It'll look more clear at 2.5x because everything is smaller and you're physically incapable of resolving certain levels of detail - hence the whole point of wanting higher mag. It's why I personally am not super stoked for these new 1-10's to pop out. I think they'll suck.
My 1-8 Atacr is blurry at 25 and there's definitely nothing wrong with it *other than lacking a parallax adjustment.

Well I gave up on credo. Found a nice nightforce nxs 2.5-10x42 mil-r with zero stop. I really wanted that credo but like you the fixed parallax turned me away.I was stoked for the 2-10 until I saw parallax was fixed
Why the scope Co's should include adjustable parallax on 1-?'s. It even makes a difference with my Athlon Helos 1-4.5x.
My Burris 1-8 gets funky above 6x.
Wish I could afford March with AP!

I actually like a fixed parallax scope for faster work at low magnification. In all optics (even with adjustable parallax) there will be a "depth of field." Know the limitations and characteristics, keep a good cheek weld and I am good to go up to about 10x. For me and with a lpvo fixed is better than trying to take a snap shot at 200 yards when the parallax was last set at 25.....
Easy fix. Locking parallax turret with MTC. Shame no one makes something like that.
10 power is neutered without parallax adjustments. Our point isn't that parallax adjustments are necessary on everything it's that a 1-10 (or in this case, a 2-10) might as well be a 1-6 without adjustable parallax.
On say up to 3x we can hardly tell there is any difference where the parallax knob is set.
But the higher the magnification the more benefit is there for adjustable parallax.
It's easy enough to set the parallax for an anticipated range of distances, or dial in focus at a specific distance.
Sure we can get away without AP, like we have been, but it's a nice feature to have. It's better than fooling with the diopter while attempting to shoehorn a funky image focus.
