Reviews & Ratings for Trijicon Credo 1-8x28mm 34mm Tube Rifle Scope, First Focal Plane — 15 reviews — Page 1

First thing since it was one of the things I was looking for in a scope, daylight brightness, The scope is daylight visible for me from 3-5 on red and green options. It is not daylight bright like a red dot but it is definitely visible and close to some of brighter scopes I have seen. I hope that helps anyone who is looking for this attribute in making a decision.

I have trusted my life to this brand ever since we received the acog in the army , several departments to the sandbox and it never failed me. My red dots are the MRO HD’s , as for LPVO’s I own the credo 1-6 and 1-8’s. Quality is never an issue with Trijicon , heavy yes , but you can beat the snot out of them and they just work. The glass in the 1-8 punches above its weight and is very clear. Controls are great, no true locking turrets but it’s not been a problem for me. You can reach out with this lpvo very easy, reticle is good not the best but very good. I’m not sure why people say this isn’t daylight bright, it’s more than daylight bright. As I said if my life depends on it , it will say trijicon. It will do everything just as good if not better than all the boy band scopes out there ( I’m looking at you nightforce). I have used the night force and the trijicon in military and civilian life and night force is over priced junk , eye relief sucks, it fish eyes and not as clear. Go with the credo , and don’t look back. You will not regret it. There is no perfect lpvo they all make sacrifices, but the credo is well balanced.

This optic is exactly what i was after. It may be a bit heavier than some of its competitors but the glass quality is great and the reticle is easy to see. Not daylight bright but still very crisp and easy to see targets with the illumination on the lowest to highest settings. I would recommend this scope to anyone in the market for a solid LPVO at this price point.

I’m very pleased with this optic. Excellent clarity, sweet reticle, & rock solid. Highly recommended. Thanks to Optics Planet for th stellar service!

This Creedo has great illumination even during mid-day in full sun. The clarity at 1x is great and perfect for both eyes open shooting. Great field of view at 8x while still keeping the same clarity.

Nicely done with great glass ... The big bold segmented circle is a big plus at 1X... However, it is so big and bold at 8X that scanning for targets down range is somewhat hindered .. as with most donut reticles. Situational awareness is much better at 3X to 5x, as with all lpvo scopes.
The only other minus is that the locking turrets lift too easily. There seems to be no detent.
It is heavy, but I knew that when I ordered it. I love it at 1X. The center (dot) is tiny but the segmented circle is bold and bright enough that seeing the center is not really necessary at close range.
As for brightness ... Bright enough for me. The red is best in bright conditions. Turning it off in extremely bright conditions works great because the circle is so bold. For my old eyes green works best most of the time. I love having the choice.
I recommend it highly as an lpvo to be used primarily at close to moderate ranges. It is also excellent from 3X to 5X .. the best I have seen so far. In fact, this is the best lpvo I own.
If you fancy yourself a DMR I recommend a scope with a less obstructive reticle .. Just my opinion.

Excellent quality, well done product, the scope has no competitors in his class, solid and beautiful design, clear glass, with good light transmission. Eye release is excellent as field of view, easy, and precisely adjusting, the dual (red/green) light let to choose for better goal targeting.

I shoot at least 15 monthly matches and 3 major matches a year. This optic is the BOMB for 3 Gun. I previously spent 4 years behind a Vortex Razor HD 1-6 (great glass, but didn't like the BDC or capped turrets), then 3 years behind a Nightforce NX8 1-8 (ultra light, great MRAD reticle, but tight eye box). The Credo is my dream scope: FFP, simple MRAD reticle, exposed locking turrets, AMAZING glass on a 34 mm tube with huge eye box. I've engaged targets out to 600 yards with my 556 Noveske and had no problem getting first shot hits with this optic. If you compete in 3 Gun, look no further.

I saw some mixed reviews on trijicon credo scopes on youtube but this particular model is awesome! The build quality is great, glass is super clear and the illumination and reticle are fantastic. It works great as a red dot at 1x but still keeps a good useable reticle at 8x. And its super reasonably priced for what you get.

It is a nice optic, no doubt about it. The only issue I have is I have problems quickly getting on target. Takes a few seconds to get it adjusted to my eye. I don’t know if I am doing something wrong but if you need a quick draw, those seconds count. Otherwise, a high quality product.
