Trijicon Credo 2-10x36 FFP

[betelgeuse]

I read one thread here on this scope. I didn't hear anyone discuss how it worked in low light with the 36mm objective.

I am also curious on how the eyebox and eye relief are.

Is anyone currently running this scope ?

Was thinking about one of these for a AR,

Curious about this as well. Do you have a link for the review?

It has an illuminated reticle for these conditions.

My recollection is it was slightly behind some 40-44mm obj scopes I compared mine to. Not much, but a few minutes of first/last light. I did not like the reticle. Somewhere in here I made some review-like comments.

I have one and it's a solid scope, and I mean solid in more than one way. It's held up to abuse just fine but it's a heavy pig. As for eye relief and low-light performance, I've never noticed any issues. I can check it tonight against larger scopes if you're interested.

Besides size, the main issue i have with the 2-10X Credo is the tiny FFP reticle at low power. It requires illumination to be seen. While that's never been a problem, it does annoy me. In the field, the Credo reticle becomes usable in the 4X or 5X range up to 10X. Maybe if I thought of this as a 4.5-10X variable it wouldn't annoy me. We shall see.

Last quibble: the giant Christmas tree reticle is way overkill. I wish it were just simple mil markings instead of taking up so much of the windshield at high power.

The Credo is a good scope that I trust. It works fine, has good optics, and is made by a great company. That said, would I buy one today? Nope. I prefer smaller scopes without illumination and probably SFP reticles for variable scopes.

I would trade my Credo for an SWFA fixed 6X if that says anything.
