Trijicon 2.5-15x42mm Credo HX SFP Field Evaluation Q&A

[Bater]

Maybe stiffer than most, but I would not say overly stiff...

 

[rileybassman]

Both of my tenmiles have fairly stiff parallax knobs

I am patiently waiting for mine to come in to replace my leupold vx5-3x15. @Formidilosus doing these reviews probably saved me three weeks of research and watching countless YouTube videos.

If this helps anyone. This is what this scope looks like mounted on the Tikka with Talley extra low bases (PN 720714). Pic of scope it is replacing for reference. There is only a 0.135” gap between the bolt handle and scope body during its throw (roughly the same distance between scope and barrel as well) — you can’t go much lower.

Very helpful

Updated.


Scope has 3,577 rounds on it with no major issue. Second Trijicon in a row to go 3,000 rounds without a failure.

You've talked about the reliability testing that manufacturers should implement (and that NF does). Given that Trijicon does this type of testing (on some models), are you starting to assume that the models that undergo that testing are g2g?

Form,

Are you planning on continuing this iteration of the evaluation similar to the ten mile?

Yes sir, if that is ok?

Quick one for ya Form- would you say there's any substantive difference in terms of reliability between the Credo HX 2.5-15x42 and the Tenmile 3-18x44? Obviously a few major differences in features, but it seems the Tenmile basically ran without a hiccup through every part of the eval

I did not see your question.

I don’t know about “assume”, but Trijicon’s scope are doing very well since the updates.

I don’t know, but I would guess nothing major. I have seen multiple Credo HX 2.5-15x’s how work correctly, as well as a dozen or so Tenmiles.

I know this was for form, but if you call trijicon and ask them, they will tell you the only difference between the credo and tenmile is the top end magnification. Anything over 16 is a tenmile. Glass, tube, internals are all the same.

To nitpick, they can say that- but there is a significant mechanical difference between SFP and FFP.

Fair point - but some companies just seem to have it figured out and use quality components and reliable design features across both SFP and FFP. Nightforce and Trijicon come to mind. I have SFP and FFP NX8s and from a quality and reliability perspective, I can’t tell the difference.

Oh no doubt. Just that companies saying “they’re exactly the same”, is disingenuous.

Anyone have one of these with very mushy elevation turret? Mine has surprisingly soft clicks. Reminds me of those Gen 1 vortex vipers.

I did for about 5 days. Sent it back before I shot it. I was shocked at how mushy the turrets felt. Also didnt care for the reticle (personal preference). It is the only trijicon I have had and may have worked fine. But I was still didnt want to chance it for that reticle.

All four of mine are pretty mushy, some more than others. Holds zero, tracks correctly and returns to zero every time. That’s what matters to me

 

[nagibson1]

It has POI shifts, but the groups center remained the same. It certainly isn’t a NF. To be fair, when it comes to zero retention NF is all by themselves from what I’ve seen.

Form, when you say this, does that include the SHV's?
