Trijicon Credo Riflescope

Trijicon is introducing the new Credo and Credo HX 1-10x28 riflescopes, designed for personal defense and tactical environments, competition shooting, and hunting in mind. The Credo scopes are engineered to perform at both CQB distance and more extended ranges and feature a first focal plane reticle with a slim body style built to the standards you've come to expect from Trijicon.

The Segmented Circle Enhanced reticles used in the Credo and Credo HX1-10x28 scopes have an illuminated segmented circle for close engagements at lower power and a fine illuminated cross dot for more extended shots. There are also subtle wind holds within the reticle for more precise distant shots as needed. The reticles are based off the reticle in the U.S. Marine Corps Squad Common Optic (SCO) variant of the Trijicon VCOG.

The Credo 1-10x28 gives you fully multi-coated, broadband, anti-reflective glass, a 34mm tube and 28mm objective lens for increased light transmission along with excellent detail and color with no distortion. The reticle features dual red/green user-selectable LED illumination with an “off” in between each setting for fast adjustment to any environment. The segment circle with cross dot reticle is designed for speed and precision and allows the shooter to quickly bracket targets and use up to 30 MRAD of windage and elevation holds without the need to dial. If you need to dial in a shot, the exposed elevation turret provides crisp, consistent clicks. Total elevation travel of 29 MRAD is available, and return to zero is precise and solid.

The Credo 1-10x28 features a durable matte finish and easy-grip controls for fast, intuitive adjustments, while a repositionable magnification lever accommodates different shooting positions and rifle configurations.

The Credo HX 1-10x28 riflescope offers the same tough construction as the base Credo model and is designed with the serious hunter in mind. From dangerous game that are up-close and personal to open country whitetails, the MOA-based Segmented Circle Enhanced illuminated reticle provides the speed and accuracy you need to make the shot.

Every model is tested to ensure performance from -20 F to 140 F, giving you confidence to make the shot in any climate. Each model is subjected to 5,000 rounds of heavy cartridge testing to ensure no reticle shift. All models are shock & vibration tested to take on recoil and the abuse of the field without failure. Finally, all models are immersion tested and dry-nitrogen filled to eliminate internal fogging in even the harshest environments.

MSRP for either the Credo or Credo HX 1-10x28 optics is $2,150, and more information on these scopes as well as the complete array of Trijicon products is available at trijicon.com.
