Reviews & Ratings for Trijicon Credo CR624 1-6x24mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane — 15 reviews — Page 1

This optic is superb. It has a very crisp dot with thin reticle when it is not illuminated. While the illumination is not the brightest, the only reason to turn it on is for shooting at a very dark target or going out to 300 plus yards, where contrasts starts to blend while acquiring a small target. The turret clicks are tactile, easy to twist but firm enough to trust to stay seated. The lifting of the turrets to zero is also very quick and user friendly. I think this optic is well above the competition in its price range. It is a little heavy and longer than others but again, for its price it is top notch. The lighter, smaller, more feature rich LPVOs are at least %50 more $.

Trijicon is by far sets a standard of excellence far beyond most optics. It’s my first purchase of really a high quality piece. I looked at most companies what they thought to be high end. Trijicon with out question, the quality, glass, design was my choice.

Love the reticle and the glass clarity is good. I've only owned primary arms lpvo so that is all I can compare it too. Definitely like this one more.

I purchased this for my patrol rifle and I am happy with it. Beautiful glass, big eye box and good relief. True 1x and works fine in CQB. The red dot does slightly wash out on light colors on a bright day, but definitely still usable. The Etched reticle is clearly visible in daylight anyway. No issues with it after a few thousand rounds and getting bumped around in an armory/patrol vehicle trunk. After market flip open covers are a good addition. Im running this on a Unity Tactical mount as well.

The skinny,
If you need a LVPO for your AR, get one! Very clear glass, great exterior flat black finish, love the thumb screw for fast throw zoom (many brands don't offer that), light weight (18.9oz) so it's barely over a pound, and the BDC reticle is awesome and day light bright. I like the off setting in between each brightness setting. This has become normal with most aluminated reticles and on scopes I already have. They also come with scope covers with the yellow lens over the ocular side. Normally I prefer your typical snap on black, but on an AR if your planning of the end of days scenario, you may not have time to flip the cover open on both ends so clear covers are the way to go imo. The subtensions on the reticle are 19" at the highest setting (an email from a Trijicon rep told me that) though I haven't confirmed that yet, and the same all the way down at their respective ranges.
I liked it so much I bought another just like it. I mounted them both in Warne QD mounts also from OP. These things rock.

These are great scopes for an AR!

At the highest setting in daylight you can't see illumination.
I wish I had returned to Optics Planet in time
Illuminated Reticle is only useful in dim light conditions.
Trijicon has to address the problem of not being able to see illuminated dot in center of reticle during bright daylight.

This scope is an amazing scope. For a sub 1k scope, I think it is currently the best on the market for what I want from a LPVO. FYI, I got the FFP Red Segmented Circle. By far the biggest con of this scope is the brightness. It is not near as dim as most scopes on the market, but it is not daylight bright (not red dot bright). It is daylight visible. On max brightness in the middle of the day, you can see the illumination, but it is just not quite bright enough to act as a red dot (The green reticle is no where near as bright as the red. IMO, do not even consider getting the green). The segment circle works really well within 25 yards for quick target acquisition. The fine reticle lines make precision shooting very easy unlike other 1-6,1-8 scopes on the market. I use an offset red dot for up close shooting so it being not quite daylight bright is not a huge issue.

The glass quality is amazing especially given the price. The glass is better than many scopes in the $1250-$2000 price range. Very little distortion around the edges. The eye box and eye relief are really good. Not as good as scopes like the TR24, but way better than the Nightforce NX8.

Because of the included zoom lever nob, you do not need to buy a scope throw lever. There are a few mounting places for it and you screw it into the zoom lever where you would prefer. This allows you to have the throw lever go from the 8 o'clock to the 2 o'clock position. Even with an offset red dot mounted right inline with the z...

This lpvo is great! I'll start with the chief complaint, day light brightness. Sure, it could be brighter, but it is plenty bright for daylight use. Unless you're blind, don't disregard this optic off the brightness aspect. I will say this, the green reticles (from what I've seen) are not bright enough. However, if you're just looking for a green reticle because it's that much more tacticool, whatever do you. But consider what lights and colors are easier to detect in daylight vs nighttime without completely distorting your eye and light capacity. The segmented circle is really nice, it creates a solid quick acquisition reticle in 1x, and at 6x it's not cluttering or getting in the way. The cross hairs are really good at centering your eye. The eye relief seemed really good, however, I'm moving to a high mount to save myself the neck tension and the little bit of eye relief from being able to be slightly more verticle. With a standard mount, set all the way forward, I really have to cant my head down to get sight picture. But the unity mount should fix that, if you're very tall, I'd consider spending the extra money unless you plan on doing alot of prone shooting. It was very easy to zero, adjustment knobs move easily and smoothly, the caps feel well constructed. I'm not concerned with the optic breaking from fair use. The short throw lever that comes with it is going to take a little getting used to but I like it. It won't get caught on anything or break off.

I bought this through a different vendor but the SFP red BDC is daylight bright, the glass clarity is very good and it’s a fairly light optic. I know BDC is not what some guys want because they run 77gr out of their 12.5 but for the average person who has a 16in gun and shoots 223 55gr fmj this BDC will allow them to stretch their gun out. PSA had this optic for $150 cheaper.

The MIL reticle FFP is great at max x6 to get you on target. I bought the green reticle and it is big and daylight bright at 1x. Its moderately lightweight and much lighter than some competitors. Great value in the mid range of optics.
