Trijicon Huron 3-9x40mm Drop Evaluation Q&A

[rickyw]

Equal/Same:
-Eye Box
-Eye Relief

On paper I believe the eye relief is less on the Huron. Not so then?

My short barrels are slow so the hask marks line up nicely

Ordered another with German #4 as a set and forget scope for under 300 yds.

I have noticed no functional difference between the two when using these scopes on 223 & 6.5 Creedmoor

I have both scopes and here are what I see as the pros/cons:


Credo 3-9:
Pros:
-Mil based reticle (if that's what you are into)
-Has 0.5 mil hashes, this gives you more hold-over points and from 200-500, gives you a hold about every 50 yards
-Has illumination

Cons
-Reticle is finer and slightly harder to see in low light without illumination
-2oz heavier


Huron 3-9x40
Pros:
-Simpler reticle that works well for most cartridges in the 2700-2800 fps range using a 100 yrd zero for slower cartridges and 200 yrd zero for faster cartridges
-Reticle is slightly thicker
-Slightly lighter

Cons:
-No illumination
-Less hold-over points, one every 100 yards

Equal/Same:
-Eye Box
-Eye Relief

Credo is available with several different reticles. Im not sure if Huron is. Which specific reticles are you referring to?

Wild guess would be Mil-square on the Credo and the BDC Hunter on the Huron

Just got a Huron for my old man's hunting rifle. He has never used anything except the unbranded scopes that come with factory rifles.
For a 1" tubed simple scope, $300 was a stellar price. These are nice.

Sorry I should have specified. I was referencing the Credo 3-9x40 with the MIL-square reticle and the Huron 3-9x40 with the BDC Hunter Holds reticle.
