Trijicon Credo HX 1-8 on SCAR 17

[thedude824]

Anyone use one of these yet? I’ve got the Trijicon Credo 1-6 on my SCAR 17 in an ADM mount and it’s been great. I’m wanting to move the 1-6x to my 14.5” AR and get a little more magnification on the SCAR. It’s a factory 13” barrel with a KNS DiSCARder and MREX rail. I’ve also got the 16” barrel in the longer MREX rail with a Mototech regulator. It wears a HUXWRX Flow 762. For $1050 it seems like a great fit as long as it’s a resilient as the 1-6 which I would think based on its increased weight. I use the rifle for run and gun and out to 300 yards. Anyone have any poor experiences? How is the image at top magnification? I would assume light transmission is better due to increased tube size. I was very happy with the Credo 1-6 on all accounts. The extra $500 for the 10x or 2x the price for the Razor just doesn’t appeal to me. I’ve got high end glass on my MRAD and M82.

I have one and I think it is a good optic, although not truly a "do-all" LPVO, meaning it is more oriented to a DMR type usage. The glass is quite good, and the image is very bright even at 8x. I also found the eye box to be large and forgiving even at 8x. The reticle is still useful at 1x but the cross hairs get a bit thick at 8x. It also has good locking turrets for dialing.

I would imagine the durability is similar to the other Japanese-made Credo scopes. I havent had any issues with mine.

Had one on my SCAR for about 2 years - no issues. I think it's a great scope. Moved that to my SBR 308 and went 1-10 Razor on the SCAR.

Fantastic! Thank you both! I ordered it and will move the Credo 1-6 to my 14.5”. I was very pleased with the 1-6x for my purposes so I’m excited to see the HX 1-8x.
