Trijicon Credo 2.5-15x42

How often do you put a fresh battery in?

I only replaced it once this season but it’s because I forgot to turn it off one night and didn’t get out for a few more days

 

[JPeters218]

I honestly don’t. I just put a fresh battery in it and turned the illumination to 5. (To me the lower settings basically just turn the reticle red rather than actually illuminating it). I’ll check it periodically over the weekend and see when it dies

Man do I ever wish I could find this scope in Canada

I love everything about my credo, except the fov. It definitely has some tunneling compared to my pst gen II and xtr III.

Very slightly off topic but has anyone compared the 42 and 56mm objectives? I know the 56 will last a little longer as the light dims, but also curious to know if the eyebox and clarity at max mag are noticeably improved? Significant weight penalty with the 56 though.

Still going. 6 days. Spec sheet says 68 hours of battery life. Starting to think that’s on max illum

Sounds like you could turn it on at the start of a hunt and just leave it on. Good to know!

Cold weather will certainly result in shorter battery life. So I probably wouldn’t trust it to run for a full 5 day hunt, but I’m absolutely comfortable having it on for a couple hours each morning and evening. And from the looks of it you’ll probably be ok if you forget to turn it off one night.

 

[JPeters218]

For those still following, we’re at 14 days and 10 hours. Still going strong. I probably won’t update again until it dies.
Just for context it’s in my safe at around 65 degrees. On 5 power (10 is max).

I bought one of these and retunred as I felt the reticle was just a little too faint for my eyes. I wish they made it with just a slightly thicker reticle. If they did I would definitely buy one

 

[JPeters218]

Well it hasn’t quite died yet, but the illumination is very faint. I’m calling it quits here and i‘m just going to round up a couple hours and say 17 days and 12 hours is how long it lasted.

Maybe a dumb question…but is there anyway you could get a custom turret (like a Kenton industries) made for the windage and take it from covered turret to an exposed turret?
