These had piqued my interest for some time now and I finally just went ahead and grabbed one. I wanted a tough MIL/MIL scope that was also on the lighter end. It seemed these fit the bill, but there is little to no information about them out there. This thread will sort of be a running review.
Ordered one Thursday, got it in hand today (Tuesday).
Initial impressions are great, though it will be a couple weeks until I make it to the range.
Mine weighs exactly 23 oz.
It has exposed elevation and capped windage. Both are tool-less reset to zero, and the elevation has a pretty simple and easy to use zero stop. The elevation turret has nice clicks with absolutely no play, and somewhat oddly the windage is actually better, no slop again but slightly more audible. The marks all line up absolutely perfectly.
The illumination is certainly daylight bright in 10, with on/off between each setting, and very little bleed at 10. I can’t see why anyone would ever use 10, but 1 and 2 are excellent in the dark with no bleed whatsoever.
It is well known that the Credo and Tenmile lines are made at LOW in Japan, and the entire scope feels very high quality.
I will test tracking and return to zero as soon as I can get to the range.
The 3-18x44 FFP Tenmile model had my eye first, but the wider FOV of the 2.5x model and couple oz lower weight convinced me to go with this Credo model for my Cooper 92 280AI which doubles as my primary eastern whitetail rifle and my backpack hunting rifle.
Preliminary glass judging is good, I actually have slightly less CA on the Credo than I do my 5-25x56 Mark 5HD, and resolution seems to be on par looking at a radio tower a few hundred yards from my house.
Anyone else have experience with these new Trijicon scopes? For the price I am tickled. If they prove to be as reliable as SWFA offerings I think they can really become popular.
