Question about Credo HX

[Rdpe21]

Hey Team,

This is my first post and it is in regards to the Credo HX. I'm specifically looking at the 2.5-15 and the 4-16. I apologize if I come off as a noob with this question in advance. Per the trijicon website, everything about the 2.5-15 seems more forgiving to get behind if you will. Where this confuses me is I figured something with a 4x multiplier would be more forgiving and easy to get behind than a 6x multiplier.

Is there something I'm missing here? Does anyone have experience with both? This is going to be for my daughter that I want to get into shooting. Going on a CZ457. Let me know what you think and thanks for your help!

No helpful advice but following this cause I’m curious of the same

I don’t have great advice when comparing between the two. But I’m one of the weirdos on this site that still likes SFP and MOA, and the Credo HX in the 2.5-15x42 is my favorite scope and I have it on literally almost all of my rifles. A couple of small flaws with the scope (for me). I wish it had a little more simple reticle, but that is truly just personal preference. The parallax knob is also pretty tough to turn but again, not a complete deal breaker for me. For me, if you are looking for a good value, durable, SFP, MOA scope, it is tough to beat.

I’ve got a 2.5-15 hx. Love it. As said the parallax is a little stiff. Whacked a coyote last weekend with it at over 500 yards.

I too enjoy SFP. Is the eyebox tough at 15X? I watched a CDoes YouTube video on the scope and he was saying at 15x it gets really tight

What I'm now noticing is Europtic and Trijicons website have different numbers for the eye relief

I have 4 of the 2.5-15 Credo HXs. They are extremely easy to get behind. I have no experience with the 4-16. I've also had various other Trijicons and they were all very easy on the eyes for aiming so I'd assume the 4-16 would be fine as well. The 2.5 is my favorite scope and my kids(12 and 15) use them extensively for shooting and hunting. No issues.

The Credo HX 4-16x50 has been a good scope for me. No issue at all with eye relief or getting centered in the scope at all power settings. My parallax is pretty tough to turn when it’s cold. Dials true, has held zero, and glass resolution is very good.

I appreciate all these replies. What are peoples opinions on clarity with the 4-16 being a 4X and the 2.5-15 being a 6X?

I don’t feel that way. I think mounting the scope properly makes a big difference though. Most people don’t know how/where to mount a scope and just throw it in the rings. So as long as it’s mounted correctly, I don’t have an issue with eye relief.
