NXS 2.5-10x42 or Credo 2.5-15x42

[TURNER208]

All,

Just curious on the two scopes listed above. I’m partial to the NXS as I can get a discount there but wonder if I’d miss out on the extra 5x. Just would like to hear opinions on both. Likely shooting out to 700-800 on steel and 500 or so on game.

I have owned both and also get a nightforce discount. I still have the 2.5-15 credo. I didnt notice and difference in quality and credo has more mounting area, so it can be mounted on a long action without a rail.

Chose the credo but really like that NXS model. Tough call. I don’t think the extra mag is needed, I don’t like shooting that scope above 11ish power. If you want the NF mag isn’t the reason to go credo - but the reticle options are kinda meh between them.

 

[TURNER208]

Yeah I’ve never seen the credo in person but specs look great. Just a couple ounces between them and I agree not in love with the reticle choices on either but haven’t used them either.

For you guys with the Credo, are you using the HX model? I have been looking at the 2.5-15x42 as well and appears the only difference between credo and HX is reticle/exterior sheen?

 

[MT_Wyatt]

HX is MOA and regular is Mil. I’ve been using the Mil version and learning that system after using MOA exclusively. Hasn’t been a big deal so far.

Following. I think that creedo is next on my list. I love my NX8s but I wouldn't mind shaving some weight. The maven looks promising too.

Based on the subtensions of then credo vs credo HX, it looks like the credo mil reticle is a bit bolder. Has anyone put eyes on both and can confirm this? Have a Nxs and the only hesitation in have on the credo is the reticle being too thin.

I had an NXS on one of my rifles but moved it to my ML after getting the Credo. Now I have a Credo on both my rifles. I like the center dot reticle too.

I was in the same boat you're in right now. After looking through and handling them I went with the credo HX. Really enjoy the center dot, turrets are great, eye box is good up to 15x and the extra mounting area was nice to have. Not a huge test but I've put about 300 rounds through it in the last 3 months and its held zero and returned to zero each time. I don't thing you can wrong with either though

Do you guys know any dealers that have Credo’s in stock? Would like to get my hands on one to check it out

Quite a few dealers with them in stock on gun.deals. Hard to go wrong with Eurooptic though.
