The Trijicon Credo 3-9x40mm delivers precision optics with LED-illuminated reticle technology for enhanced target acquisition in varying light conditions. This variable power riflescope combines Trijicon's proven glass quality with versatile magnification for hunters and tactical shooters. The red duplex reticle provides fast target engagement while maintaining precision at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The Credo features Trijicon's advanced fully multi-coated lenses that transmit 95% of available light, significantly outperforming standard riflescopes that typically achieve 85-90% light transmission. The LED illumination system offers 10 brightness settings with automatic shutoff after 4 hours to preserve battery life. Unlike basic illuminated scopes, the Credo maintains zero retention through 1000+ rounds of magnum recoil.
Key Features
- 3-9x variable magnification with 40mm objective lens for versatile range performance
- LED-illuminated red duplex reticle with 10 brightness settings plus off positions
- 1-inch tube construction machined from 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum
- Fully multi-coated lenses delivering 95% light transmission
- Waterproof to 20 meters and nitrogen purged for fog-proof performance
- Side focus parallax adjustment from 50 yards to infinity
- Standard Weaver/Picatinny ring compatibility with matte black finish
Field testing demonstrates consistent tracking accuracy with 1/4 MOA adjustments that hold zero through temperature extremes from -40°F to 160°F. The scope maintains clarity across the entire magnification range, making it effective for close-range brush hunting at 3x and precision shots at 9x magnification. The illuminated reticle remains visible in low-light conditions without washing out the target image.
