I wanna buy the Credo HX 2.5-15 but..

[gsully]

Is there a zero stop on the Credo? That might be a selling point.

I'm just now getting into FFP/Maven Rs1.2 and a little nervous about FFP and quick short range shots as well. But so far, like many are saying, it's just a duplex at short range. Point and shoot.

I kind of think of the FFP as getting multiple scopes in one; a duplex reticle for short range, hold over capable always correct sub tensions at mid range, and an advanced reticle at long range.

Swfa 3-9 is the right choice. If you're in se pa I have a couple swfas you could look through, the mil quad is a great reticle for hunting AND because it's ffp you can hold for wind at any magnification. And that's what holds are for: wind. Dial elevation, gravity is real stable.

It's not on your list, but I really like the Trijicon Accupoint 4-16X50. I was originally considering the Credo but all of the reticles looked too busy for my personal taste. I also had concerns about feedback on the thin reticle. My purchase was for hunting purposes and my comfortable shooting range is 600 yards or less. I have two more being shipped right now for a couple current rifle projects.

Yes there is a zero stop on the Credo.

Thanks for the offer. For me 9x is good for about 150yds! I have 3 of the 2.5-10 swfa's but they're all on 100yd deer guns. I prefer SFP and dialing over holdovers.

I saw that option, looks nice. I don't believe it's been verified by the torture test though. That knocks it out for me. My Credo should be here on Tuesday!

What? My 8 year old killed a button buck at 300 this year, scope was on 4x. We have shot steel to 400, with the scope on 4x. Ffp scopes can dial for Elevation, just like I said in my first post. Holding over for elevation as a main strategy is dumb.

Sfp scopes cannot conveniently compensate for wind at anything other than max magnification. Ffp scopes can. That's the differentiator, and its a big one.

What's the confusion? I appreciate the recommendation but we have different opinions. I have zero desire to own a 9x scope on a several hundred yard gun. I've only ever used SFP and I've never compensated for wind. At the ranges I shoot, it's never been necessary. The Maven and SWFA I was considering were solely for the reliability. I was never going to use the FFP for holdovers or wind.
