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.

Just an update for people that may have been in my situation and didn’t note the ONLY REAL DIFFERENCE between the Credo and Credo HX. I use MRAD on all my optics. I somehow thought that the HX meant it used better glass. The only real difference is it’s MOA
