Rifle Scopes Credo 1-10 or Vudu 1-10

[Jmccracken1214]

Looking at these two for a 16” gas gun.
With military pricing I think the Vudu is $80 more or so.

Any reason to get one over the other? I’ve never had a eotech or Trijicon scope.

I have a Credo 1-10x28 mil and it is perfect for my RRA .223. I also have a Leupold Mark 5 3.6x18x44 iIlum on a
.223. I like the Trijicon Credo better.

I thought there would be a noticeable weight difference in the two based on how their other optics are constructed, but they are almost identical in weight.

If trijicon uses the same glass that they use in their other credo models, and Eotech uses the same glass that they put in their other VUDU models, then the VUDU glass would have a clear advantage to my eyes. Otherwise, they seem almost identical.

I want the PLXC but I hate the ACSS reticle. I don’t like chevrons.

I'm interested in the Vudu, they seem to be one of the top lvpo right now for the $$. I'd really like to check one out in hand though.

 

[Jmccracken1214]

Ordered the 1-10 credo. Hope I’m happy with it!

It’ll go on my limited series ddm4v7

I had the Eotech for a hot second and sent it back. Wasn't a fan of their tree reticle so I continued my hunt. To be honest I see these 1-10 optics as more of a compact 10 scopes. I have never been able to use any of them on 1x as good as a red dot so for me they are always run pretty much at max power on a DMR style carbine and backed up with a red dot somewhere on board.

Im not a fan of the entire ocular end moving on the EO when you change magnification, I prefer the magnification dial only moving. Also pretty sure that the EO does not have a hard zero stop which I really prefer. Yes it locks with the push pull turret but that is all. You can dial under any where you want but you will never find a hard stop. Correct me if Im wrong on this. On the Credo you have a true zero stop that you can set anywhere and you have the locking up down elevation turret. I really like this system as I can set my speed drop as the hard stop, typically in the -1.6 mils area, and lock the turret at my true 100 yard zero. So I can dial with ease if necessary or dial my speed drop off and use the reticle as BDC. I really like this for carbines that im shooting 600-700 yards. If Im shooting more than that Im looking for much more optic than 10x.

I also find the simplicity of the Trijicon reticle much faster. I think you will be happy with your decision.

I was just looking at the vudo, but the other one I was kicking around is the vcog 1-8 sco. Good to read some stuff about the vudo, but iv been leaning hard towards that vcog.

PA would sell alot more optics without that ACSS abortion reticle slathered in everything.

I agree. I saw the nova and was super pumped, ready to order right then and saw it was SFP.

I hate the chevron.

I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread. I'm interested in the 1-10x credo myself. I did hear one reference in some YouTube video that the illumination is pretty bright. That would be a plus.

As for those thinking about the PLXc, I just got one and have about 1k rounds with it. I'm having really mixed feelings.

The 1x is excellent for a ffp optic, but the reticle can still be hard to pick up, depending on enenvironment. At over 6x things get really tight. And if youre looking for something tough, i dont think this is it. Not that its build quality is bad, but it is designed to be light and it just doesnt inspire confidence as far as robustness of build goes.

Honestly, unless I need the ffp reticle, I prefer to run my Razor. It does everything better.

I just got my 1-10 credo in today. The NF mount wont be here until next week, but just looking through it and all mag. ranges, Im digging it A LOT. I like the reticle. It is super usable on 1x and still very usable at 10.

Keep us posted once you have some rounds through it. I have the Credo 2-10 and I don't have any complaints other than I wish they didn't illuminate the entire tree reticle .

How's the illumination? Regardless, let us know how the reticle is on 1x when running drills. I have a lot of vegetation where I am and small reticle gets lost without illumination.

Jmccraken1214- Any update on your Trijicon Credo 1-10x28 scope results? I know that you may be dealing with the hurricane disaster. Hope your family and friends are safe.

Thank you! We avoided any damages.

I haven’t ran drills with it, but have taken it out a few times to shoot. From 50-400 yards. I love this scope. I’ll probably end up with another one before long.

10x is a little tight, but that’s the norm. 1-8 is awesome, and 10x is great for paper shooting.

If you’re after a 1-10 scope for an AR style gun, I’d honestly go with the Razor G3 1-10. The image quality is top-notch, and there’s barely any distortion.
When you start getting into the realm of 8x or 10x optics, having a gridded reticle can make a big difference for quick target acquisition and faster follow up shots. A simple hashed crosshair doesn’t add much value because it’s not great for accurate ranging, and using holdovers with it is less efficient compared to a grid, Xmas tree-style reticle, or even BDC reticles with wind holds.
The segmented circle in the centre works well at lower magnification, but at the higher end, it can obscure a fair bit of the target not just the target itself, but also what’s around it. On the plus side, the illumination is definitely daylight visible, and the glass quality is solid.
Both options have their pros and cons, depending on your specific needs and preferences. At the end of the day, the choice should come down to your main objectives.
