The Credo and Credo HX lines are the premier low-powered variable optic options from Trijicon. The line includes 1-4×24, 1-6×24, and 1-8×28 objective scopes that are trim in size, feature a generous field of view, and allow you to engage close targets instantly without magnification or identify distant objects with the flick of your wrist. New for 2024 is Trijicon’s Credo and Credo HX 1-10×28 LPVO.
These new offerings from Trijicon promise the same rapid engagement of close targets with the magnification cranked low without sacrificing that magnification needed to identify distant and concealed targets. The Credo and Credo HX 1-10x28mm optics both use coated and anti-reflective 28mm of glass inside a 34mm black anodized aluminum tube. The slightly larger size over 24mm tubes aids in light gathering in dusky conditions, aided by a red/green Segmented Circle illuminated reticle. At its lowest setting, these optics have a generous 116-foot field of view at one hundred yards, allowing you to avoid tunnel vision as you focus in.
Both the Credo and Credo HX have a total of ten red/green illumination settings and are powered by a single CR2032 coin battery. Both utilize uncapped elevation and windage turrets, but the elevation turret on the Credo HX has finer elevation adjustments that make it the more versatile of the two in a hunting scenario. But whether it is for the hunting rifle or the tactical rifle, both are worth a look and are shipping now with a suggested manufacturer’s retail price of $2,150.
