New Reticle in Credo

[CaseyRyback]

I shot the Credo HX 1-6x24 in Green Dot Hunter BDC reticle for a couple of days last week. I was evaluating it for suitability on our patrol rifles. The hash marks were dead nuts for 55 and 62 grain .223 out to 300. If I think about from a hunting a perspective, I believe I’d like it for applications where I was holding wind. The version I shot had capped turrets so dialing isn’t/wasn’t really on the table. I also didn’t bother paying attention to the MOA subtensions since they aren’t really relevant for LE use in the city. Now that I’m reading this, I realize this probably isn’t super helpful.

I will say I’d like the Power Dot for hunting for sure, but for close encounter, snap shooting it was too fine.

Anyone know if the new reticle fills the whole fov or just in the center?

It’s sfp so it should fill the whole fov

This was my question as well. Personally I hope it is edge to edge of the scope.

Had a 3-9 Credo and currently have a 2.5-15 Credo HX and neither fully go to the edge. Both SFP

Just to clarify.

I have a bunch of 3-9 and 2.5-15 credos and some Hurons and a bunch of their other scopes the reticles fill the fov, yes there are thicker bars on the edges but what are we talking here? Every sfp scope I’ve owned the reticle fills the FOV, now ffp the reticle only does that on the highest power no?

That reticle isn't tracking drops well with any of my loads in MOA zeroed at 100 yards (260, 6.5 PRC, 30-06). Maybe I'm being dumb.

What calibers and zeroes do you see the reticle drops lining up? I'm sure Trijicon had something fairly specific in mind? Otherwise it looks nice and clean.

Is it supposed to be zeroed at 200 ?

This reticle is a lot closer to what I would want... change the "drop comensation" lines to 8-10mil worth of simple 0.5mil hashes. They're so close.

I may have misunderstood what you were meaning.

The Credo’s I have/had the reticle doesn’t go completely to the edge of the FOV when looking through the scope.
Meaning the reticle looks like it’s “floating”from the center out.
I thought this is what you meant.



This is the what my 3-9 Credo Mil Square looked like.

Negative. I own several Credos and Credo HX SFP scopes with simple duplex reticles where the “cross hairs” do not extend all the way to the outer edge of the FOV, including the thicker outer lines.

They look exactly like the “Reticle” image here before clicking the “expand” button.

Why do scope makers keep putting out reticles with these ridiculous wind holds? You could take this scope out and shoot in a very realistic 5mph wind and quickly come to the conclusion that 5moa reference points are only slightly better than nothing at all.

I really like that reticle!

This is a great reticle for the guys hunting in the straight wall whitetail states. I personally really like it and can't wait to get one of these scopes.

Has anyone gotten their hands on this version of the Credo yet? Just curious about the reticle in comparison with the other version. I am building a new hunting rifle and trying to decide on which optic to run/get for it. I have a Tenmile 3-18 and a Maven RS.1 currently, but am considering a SFP option for hunting. If I dial I will most likely be on top end magnification anyway.

I'm curios on this scope- Trijicon's website says clearly the eye relief went to 2.4-3.9. Is that an mis print? This scope has always been 3.4-3.9, Going backwards to a 2.4 at max mag would be a non starter for me, if true.

@JonWick trijicons eye relief figures seem to be full of misprints, but also they do have some scopes with noticeably short eye relief. Frustrating combo.
I emailed trijicons cs a month or two ago about the exact same apparent misprint on a different scope model and got a completely unhelpful answer from someone who couldnt be bothered to look at their own website to see the issue. The eye relief shouldn't change on the same scope due to a different reticle so its probably a misprint, but if worried Id call and if needed ask for a manager until you get a helpful answer, or find one to look thru before buying.

Trijicon isn't helpful at all really, when you question the eye relief. The answer I got was that it depends on the individual's eyesight and some people may get the full relief and other may not, depending on how the diopter needs to be adjusted.

I did call them. At first he gave me the immediate nonsense, "we carefully screen our website, its accurate blah, blah blah". I then asked him to explain whey the eye relief would be a full 1.5 inches different when literally all they changed was the glass etched on the reticle.

He said he'd check with their engineers and give me an answer in a few days. We'll see. I'm betting its just a misprint and its 3.4-3.9 like all the Credo's. If not they'll have to explain what they changed in the scope as that big a drop in eye relief would make that scope trash.
