Trijicon Credo 3-9x40 vs Accupoint 3-9x40

[Igloo]

What do you guys think of the Credo line vs the Accupoint line in 3-9x40, 1" tube?

The Credo I am looking at is the MOA Precision Hunter reticle version. Not sure I need that much compensation, but why not. Currently using the Accupoint with regular crosshair and center dot.

Would you think the Credo stands out in any way besides reticle? Tougher internally? Better glass? Etc

Thanks!

I have both, accupoint is a smidge lighter, mostly just different reticles and different illumination, battery vs tritium both have worked as advertised holding zero

How are they for dialing? More of a set and forget scope or are they going to be useful as a scope for dialing?

When I had my Credo, it dialed very good for as often as I needed it. The turrets are not really made for dialing but work in a pinch and if you have time on target. As far a 3x9's go for dialing can't beat the SWFA in mils. I put one on my PRC and love it.

I have not done any meaningful dialing with either other than adjustments during zeroing, the hash marks on my credos work at max magnification since SFP, my accupoint is an orange triangle. I think you can buy different turrets if you were interested in dialing they are capped

I have the Accupoint 3-9x40 and multiple of the 4-16x50 model. The 3-9 is a set and forget for me because it isn't made for dialing with a capped turret. I use it on a Midwest whitetail hunting rifle with max shots of 200 yards. I would use the MOA reticle holdover if needed for a longer shot. The 4-16 is the model with an exposed turret for more dialing.

I have been very impressed with these scopes since trying out the first one. They check all the boxes for me in glass quality, perceived durability, clean reticle and (on the 4-16) ability to dial when hunting. I really like the illuminated dot on the reticle. Between the two, I like the 4-16 better.

I'm not a high volume or competition shooter and my rifles are set up and used for hunting. My longest shot to harvest game has been 510 yards. I haven't intentionally tried any drop/durability tests on my scopes nor have I had any extraordinary wear and tear on them. Just normal rifle handling from safe to range to hunting (where they aren't babied), back and forth. They have held zero well so far.
