Went vortex to zeiss, loved the quality of glass but had too many issues that needed me to send them back to be addressed. Went SWFA and they’re good but leaves me wishing for crisper glass and a built in 0 stop. Don’t want to go NF, a bit bulky and the partnership with MF. Thinking Maven or Trijicon, either the Tennile or Credo. Should I just pick my favorite reticle and go with it or is there meaningful differences between the three?

Gen 2 swfa has a built in zero stop. Not sure if any changes were made to the glass.

I like my tenmile and credo but the maven reticle is definitely better if FFP is important to you. The credo/tenmile sfp mil reticle hasn’t prevented me from taking any shots.

As a user of both, do you see much a difference between the two trijicons? Pros/cons

Good on you for the NF / poaching freak stuff
I vote maven if going ffp only because I hate Christmas tree reticles. If going sfp, then I'd change my answer and go with a trij.

I’m not married to either but I prefer a clean reticle without all the Christmas tree marks.

I like both equally for their respective roles. They’re essentially the same sfp scope with a different name, zoom range and obj lens size. Same reticle on both and both have had the same reliability for me.

The credo is a 2.5-15x42 on a 16” 6 arc and I like it for that.

The tenmile is a 3-18x50 on a 7prc and it suits my needs great. Disclaimer, it’s an HX model that has been discontinued by Trijicon so if that’s what you’re looking for you’ll have to pick it up on the classifieds. I see them from time to time on here.

I sold my tenmile for the Maven. Optically Maven is tiny bit better. But primarily reticle is better. If they are the same price to you, can't go wrong with either

No experience with Credos. Nothing in their lineup interests me personally
