What do you like better about the Credo than the LHT?If SFP is tolerable, take a look at the 2.5-15x42 Trijicon Credo. Its my current overall favorite, with almost no budget consideration. The reticle is a little thin in low light but the illumination works just fine in low light. Shot a whitetail doe in extremely low light with it Sunday.
How is the LHT reticle in low light on low magnification in the timber?I like the LHT 3-15. Only downsides for me is windage dial and the scope seems to scratch easily. I also think Tract is coming out with a 2.5-15 very soon. The glass is incredible in their Toric 4-20 but it’s heavy.
What do you like better about the Credo than the LHT?
I’ve only used it on the plains of West Texas so not sure in Timber but I love the eye box. It’s very friendly and the floating dot is the perfect size for me. Impressive scope tracked perfectly to 630 and back. The weight is also a plus. Only had it one season and have also been looking at the Credo. The locking turret on LHT is also very nice. If you could find an LHT around $600-$700 I think that’s tough to beat but I haven’t tried Credo yet and hope to someday. -KyleHow is the LHT reticle in low light on low magnification in the timber?
PM SentI have an Accupoint 3-9, it’s on my main coyote rifle, I find the eye box super tight, but I still like it. To the OP, I have a Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x42, duplex reticle, basically NIB to hit the classifieds in a couple days when my newbie 7 day probation ends and I can post in the classifieds, half of your budget. I have another one in DOA reticle also, same scope that I planned on keeping but could probably let go of also.
What do you like better about the Credo than the LHT?
I've had both, the Credo gets the nod for: Wider FOV on the bottom end, better feeling turrets by a mile, integrated throw lever, and overall the Credo feels like a higher quality product. The Credo can also be had for less $. Sacrifice is a couple oz of weight. The glass is fantastic in both.
I bought both of my Credo's from EuroOptic.I have an LHT and SWFA. I like the LHT much better but I don't know how durable it is. Where did you guys find the best price on the Credo?
