Trijicon 2900051 CREDO HX 2.5-10X56 RIFLESCOPE

The Trijicon CREDO HX 2.5-10x56 is a mid-range hunting rifle scope built for hunters who demand speed, clarity, and reliability in the field. This 30mm tube scope combines a versatile magnification range with a 56mm objective lens, making it equally at home in thick timber and open country. The PowerDot BDC Hunter reticle is engineered for fast target acquisition and confidence in ranging and holdovers—exactly what matters when the moment of truth arrives. What sets the CREDO HX apart is the marriage of user-friendly controls with proven glass and Trijicon's legendary durability; this isn't a scope that needs babying.

The illuminated reticle uses Trijicon's Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) to keep both eyes open and engaged during the shot. Ten selectable brightness settings—five in red, five in green—let you dial in the perfect sight picture for dawn, midday sun, or overcast conditions, with an off position between each setting to avoid battery drain. The 2.8–4.0 inch eye relief and 7.3–1.94 degree field of view are tuned for hunting rifles across common calibers. At 25.3 ounces, it's light enough not to burden your rifle but substantial enough to absorb recoil.

Build quality is where the CREDO HX shows its pedigree. The aircraft-grade aluminum housing is finished in satin black and designed without snag-prone features—clean lines and low-profile controls keep your scope where it belongs. It's been tested to military standards and is waterproof to 3 meters. The toolless quarter-MOA adjusters and repositionable magnification lever adapt to your setup, whether you're shooting from a bench, standing, or behind a pack. A CR2032 battery is included, good for 68 hours of continuous use.

Second focal plane construction means the reticle subtensions remain true only at maximum magnification—a practical choice for most hunters who dial to the target range and rarely hunt between magnifications. The full package includes lens caps, a ScopeCoat, hex key, replacement lever screw, battery, and quick reference guide. Built in Japan, the CREDO HX is a scope that works hard and asks for little in return.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the red and green illumination on the CREDO HX?

The CREDO HX offers five brightness levels in red and five in green, with an off position between each setting. Red is excellent for low-light hunting and picking out game in shadows; green performs well in bright conditions and on lighter-colored targets. You choose whichever color suits your hunting situation and adjust brightness to match the ambient light.

Is this scope compatible with standard 30mm scope rings and mounts?

Yes. The CREDO HX uses a 30mm tube, which is compatible with any standard 30mm scope ring or mount. No special mounting hardware is required—just a standard rifle rail.

What comes in the box with the CREDO HX?

The package includes the scope with one CR2032 battery pre-installed, lens caps (bikini caps), a ScopeCoat, a 3mm hex key, a repositionable magnification knob with replacement screw, quick reference guide, warranty card, and a vinyl logo sticker.

Is second focal plane the right choice for hunting?

Second focal plane means the PowerDot reticle holds true subtensions only at maximum magnification (10x). For most hunters, this is practical—you typically dial your scope to a known hunting distance and stay there. The reticle remains effective for holdovers and ranging across the magnification range, but if you hunt between magnifications without re-dialing, first focal plane would be more precise. Second focal plane is the traditional hunting design and is standard on most hunting scopes in this class.
