Mostly happy - Trijicon Credo 1-8x28mm 34mm Tube Rifle Scope, First Focal Plane

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.
