This is the first of the SFP Tacticalish/ Huntingish MPVO's Ive fully reviewed. There is a market out there for optics like this, I know there is. If there wasnt then no one would buy them, and companies wouldnt be making them still. With a few minor tweaks it would start to make more sense to me. But if your a owner of one of these, how do you find them to be?

I’ve had this scope on a rifle for a year now and give it a solid B+. Not everyone understands the market for this scope. In hunting you don’t need FFP. 90% of shots come inside 100 yards and no one needs to dial anything inside 200. For that occasional 400-600 yard shot, you’re going to be on 15x anyway. ALSO, because it is 2nd FP the reticle stays the same size which is much more useful for hunting. It also weighs and costs less than if it were FFP. The only negative I have is that the image has some distortion around the edges at 2.5X. This doesn’t really affect the ability to see a target but is a distraction when panning at low magnification.
I find 2.5X much more useful ina hunting scope than 15x, so I prefer this over any of the 3-15x models. At this price range, who else makes a quality scope with a good reticle, turrets, maginification, and reasonable weight? Maybe Swamp Fox KYLR? BTR2?There’s not much competition.
A B+ sounds appropriate
I have the regular Credo 2.5-15x42 on an 18" that I took to Ridgeline for a scoped carbine course last year. I had no trouble with the SFP reticle and we had courses with targets 100 to 700 yds. At the lower perimeter of the reticle Trijicon gives cheat multipliers for several different magnifications. Since you have to learn your reticle whether SFP or FFP, it seems more a temperament or brain-aesthetic difference. I own both FFP and SFP scopes and can use either, and I tend to like FFP at higher magnifications because at lower mags usually the reticle is too small or too defined-in-detail for my eyesight/brain to make use. The simple mil-hash ladder of the Credo works a charm for me.
As to illuminated reticle -- the internet's bench racers need to shut their gobs about illumination on MPVO or HPVO needing to be "daylight bright." It's a riflescope not an RDS. It's used differently. Anyone who insists they need daylight bright 1x and they're using a scope that begins at 2x or greater the solution is very clear. Add an offset or piggyback RDS. Don't demand the scope be something it cannot be.
This was a completely unfair review. The vertical mis alignment is designed to be flawed to tell you that you should only be using the cross hairs at the center. The poor image quality at max magnification is purposely built to inform you that you shouldn’t be taking shots at 1,000 yards. It’s also worth noting that the fish eye image seen on the curved telephone pole is most likely due to the gravitational pull of the cosmos. This cosmic effect only happens when using this scope. I also thought that it was completely ridiculous to compare this great scope to scopes that have better performance and better features for less money!
Loving the sarcasm 😅😂
😂
Had me in the first sentence.
dude so true
😂😂😂😂
Trijicon is one of those companies that seems to be about 10 years behind the curve but they sell for current day premiums. They are just running on clout at this point. Pretty wild how an acog is still 1600 dollars msrp tbh
Isn't that the military contract price they have to sell at?
@@doubleutubefan5 probably but the problem is that price was set back in like 2005 when it was a reasonable price because nothing like it existed. At some point you'd think it would expire or no longer be valid.
No that’s Leupold. They still love MOA on everything, Duplex and BDC reticles and double the price! Trijicon is only 5 yrs behind.
Discovering your YT reviews for optics is the best thing I’ve done all year. Top notch reviews that had me watching all day yesterday and helped me make a decision on what optic I was going to purchase. Thank you for these reviews and PoV viewpoints etc.
been waiting for this review
I have the non HX version of this scope. While I would have preferred an FFP, the weight of the Credo was a benefit to the build I put it on. I got it on sale but may have pick a different option if it was full price. Also, in all honesty, I'm using this at either max or min magnification. So, I don't have a problem with the SFP reticle. It does fisheye at 2.5, like you pointed out. The clarity at 15x on mine doesn't drop off much at all. It's noticeably better at the upper end than two Athlon BTR's (gen 1 and 2) I had on hand. But, this is based on a sample of one.
Always enjoy seeing another C_DOES video come up on the feed. I'd want this in FFP for my .22lr
Why would anyone shoot 22? Are you dosabled or recoil sensitive?
@@jamesstephenson2346 .... no.....
Excellent break down, and it landed in my feed with perfect timing. I was just looking at these and the Ten Miles. I have the Credi 2-10x36 and love it. And I just got a Viper PST Gen II 3-15x44 and I gotta say the Viper was damn good and I only paid $530 for it cause it was a display unit. I feel like the 44mm objective tube makes it so much more usable at all ranges. The reticle is the EBR2C milrad. Could not pass it up at that price. Highly recommend.
Good deal!
Love your work. Probably the best on RUclips. Did you ever post the review of the tenmile 3-18? I can’t find it.
Your optic reviews is best. I really hope you will review some high magnification sfp hunting scopes also in future. Steiner predator 4 6-24x50 or Leupold v3hd 6,5-20x50 would be great choices for example.
If you trademarked a do it all “huntical” optic, I’d buy it. 👊🏼
Trijicon Accupoint with Fiber optics only comes in Second Focal Plane. They only have a few with the Mil/Moa. Find their Catalog online with all the reticles, I have a short of them.
From what I understand the Credo is the same glass in the Vcog.
Id love to see an athlon etr 4.5-30x review from ya. In pricing its a step up from the bushnell, and it is supposedly really good. Ive already ordered the bushnell ED for my cz 457 i plan to put together (likely the coming carbon model with the CF barrel)
Love your videos. I really really hope you can get your hands on the steiner t6xi 1-6, 3-18 scr2, and 6-30 scr2. Also the leupold patrol 6hd with the bcd reticle. Just hoping 🤞
I saw the tenmile 3-18 ffp in mil or moa is sub 900 at opticsplanet currently. I have a Bergara Ridge 7 rem mag bolt rifle that needs a scope and it'd honestly probably be a secondary hunting rifle or something to dabble with shooting further (500yd or so). First setup is Tikka T3 30-06 with a Zeiss Conquest V4 3-12x44 with a plain jane duplex reticle. Kinda considering that Athlon to be honest
At least with my sample, the absolute max 15x does fall apart but dialing it back just a fuzz makes the image very nice. The way I see it, if you have time to mill out targets the drop in image quality isint that big of a deal. Worth it go go from 2.5 all the way to 15.
I treat the scope as a 3-12 that lets you turn it up to 11 both directions. You have the options- you hust get some extra distortion.
I do wish it had the locking turrets. This one will eventually get moved from the lightweight SPR flavor gun over to my 308 bolt gun. It'll be perfect im that application in my part of the country.
Great video, yes non locking is a huge issue for this hunter. I run the Trijicon Huron 3-9X40 for a very basic hunting optic. Optically there are much better options, at 9x it looks like someone smeared vaseline on the lens,it’s that bad. But I chose Trijicon for durability and the ability to hold zero after dropping and impacts, which is most important for a field optic.
Just a little bit more $$ for the Credo 3-9x40, and it's fine at 9x at dusk. I've experienced lower-cost glass that goes wonky at higher mag and/or lower light, what you describe. Never looked through the Huron but I own the Credo and I like shooting at dusk/twilight. I'd bet that Huron is fine throughout daylight hours even if a bit smeary at 9x.
I called Trijicon prior to purchase and they said huron has the same glass and internals as credo just no illumination. They are currently $299 at eurooptics for 1" tube 3-9, so big price deference from credo . Maybe i just got a monday scope. @@seanoneil277
I look forward to your vortex lht review...I have the 3x15 sfp....its very nice except its long lol....but I don't think id pay the new price......i think I paid 750 new.... when it first csme out
The Bushnell engage series could be a good comparison to the credo. SFP, MOA reticle, 30mm tube, locking turrets. Be good to see you the two stack up for 1/5 price
Might need to relax on the coffee intake prior to the unboxing. Getting a little animated. 🤣
Do not believe me and my coffee intake
C, I cant wait till you get your hands on the newer Delta Optics 1-10, with side focus LPVO/MPVO
The SuperSetCA channel had one a couple months ago
@@JackManiacky Yeah I know. I've seen it. But NOONE captures image quality like C_Does, and I trust his opinion. ALWAYS best to get a second opinion before dropping $1600 LOL TY though
I know it doesn't compare, but I bought one of the 1-6 Delta strykers when they were very new to the U.S. It was definitely worth the early adopter risk. Delta is very underappreciated, and they put out well designed products.
Video just recently dropped.
These reviews are awesome but id be interested to see how they hold zero and how they track
well, looks like I'm here first 😇
it's so cool to see how you have reviews on stand by ready to be made Publix 😎😎
I try my best
Have you seen the new announcement of the Credo 1-10? I looked at the specs and apparently it only weighs 21.2 oz which is pretty wild to me considering their 1-8 weighs 25 oz… I hope you can get your hands on it and review it soon!
I want to see the C_does scope notes book
Would you ever consider reviewing an LPVO from Monstrum Tactical? Their Spectre scope has good reviews.
I would like to see the Sightron 1-6x24 lvpo reviewed if you ever get the chance
Trijicon is so lacking in the MVPO game, it doesn’t make sense. The 2.5-12.5 Accupoint, SFP and horrible reticles. Same with this and the regular Credo 2.5-15. They’d all be great SPR options for not a lot of money if Trijicon could just give the people what they want!
C Does is Rocky Balboa and Trijicon is the side of beef
I give scopes what they deserve
Please, still looking for a Leapers UTG 1-8x24 review. Thanks
Trijicon that sounds like an affordable scope let’s go see what body part I have to sell to buy one
I’m looking for that trademark Hunticle straight from C_Does 😂
One day!
Huntical makes sense to me. 🙂
Giggity
Non-locking turrets is an instant no go for me for a hunting optic. I took a "tactical" scope with non locking turrets to a hunting trip and my rifle got knocked over and the windage must have shifted and I didn't notice. There's a good chance that caused me to miss a shot on a deer. Yes I should have been paying attention. But I was rushed to head out of camp and get to the field. I'll only use capped or locking turrets from now on.
Same
Do you have a full review of the Tenmile 3-18? I’ve been considering buying one but cannot find the full review on your channel.
Video work has been completed. But the review hasn't come out yet.
@@CDOES awesome. Excited to see your thoughts on it. Thank you
Dude the old AccuPoint stuff was awesome and now the Credo BS is on the level with NC Star what the Hell happened Trijicon also hunting scope with non lockable turrets bingo my man it doesn’t make sense?👍🏼🤯🔫
Hey C_DOES, do you have Patreon exclusive content?
Why yes I do
@CDOES Sweet, just joined your Patreon.
I only want to hear the term throat hole on PH
I mean 😜
@4:55 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Hunticle" needs to be a thing. "Tacticle" too
Idk i say retire with the helos gen 2
Don't even give me any ideas. I'm remaining hopeful that they make a Japanese version
When can we see the LHT review
Unfortunately when I get the time to get around to it. But I really like using it so far
@@CDOES take as long as you need, I enjoy your reviews very much. How does it compare to the other mpvo's in it's price/weight class so far?
I don’t understand why someone would want a sfp mpvo.
Lower cost. I agree that a variable zoom scope that goes out to 15x with a second focal plane reticle is a bad compromise, but that’s the answer. Nearly 15 years ago I bought a 4.5-14x SFP scope. I didn’t know any better and couldn’t afford a FFP scope at that time.
@@chipsterb4946 Whats bad about it?
@@mrmcbeth the hash marks on the reticle are useless except at 14x. A custom drop turret would make a big difference IMHO, but my MVPO doesn’t have that feature.
@@chipsterb4946 Would it work at 7x with a little math?
@@mrmcbeth you cannot know that you are at 7x. Sure there are marks on the scope, but how accurate are they? At this point, it seems like you either don’t “get” the point or are just trying to be argumentative. If you want to compromise with a second focal plane scope, that is fine. However, it is a compromise.
