Trijicon 2900054 CREDO HX 2.5-15X42 RIFLESCOPE
The Trijicon CREDO HX 2.5-15x42 riflescope brings versatile magnification and combat-proven optics to hunters and long-range shooters who demand both speed and precision. Built on Trijicon's legendary illumination technology, this second focal plane scope pairs a 6x zoom range with a glass-etched PowerDot BDC Hunter Holds reticle in red or green, letting you acquire targets fast in bright sun or low light while dialing holdovers for extended shots. At 22.9 ounces with a compact 30mm tube, it won't bog down your rifle—and the low-profile design keeps your cheek weld comfortable while preventing snags in thick cover.
What sets the CREDO HX apart is Trijicon's Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC), which uses the illuminated reticle to draw your eye naturally for both-eyes-open shooting. That matters when things happen fast: your peripheral vision stays sharp, target acquisition drops from seconds to fractions of a second, and follow-up shots come easier. The fully multi-coated glass delivers edge-to-edge clarity with zero distortion, true color fidelity, and excellent light transmission in any condition—critical when glassing at dawn or dusk. Five brightness levels for both red and green, with an off-position between each click, let you dial in the perfect setting without overshooting or losing your zero in dim light.
The scope is built to handle abuse. Aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum housing, waterproof to 3 meters, and rigorous mil-spec durability testing mean your zero stays put whether you're stalking rocky ridges, pushing through brush, or running drills at the range. The repositionable magnification lever adjusts to fit different shooting positions and rifle setups. Inside the box: bikini caps, a Scopecoat, 3mm hex key, replacement mag knob screw, CR2032 battery (good for 68 hours), and quick reference guide. Made in Japan, engineered for hunters and shooters who won't settle for compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included with the Trijicon CREDO HX 2.5-15x42?
The scope comes with bikini caps, a Scopecoat, 3mm hex key, repositionable magnification knob with replacement screw, one CR2032 battery, quick reference guide, warranty card, and vinyl logo sticker.
Can I use the CREDO HX for both hunting and long-range target shooting?
Yes. The 2.5-15x magnification range, illuminated PowerDot BDC reticle with holdover marks, and 100 MOA total travel make it suitable for hunting mid-range to extended distances as well as range work. The second focal plane design means BDC accuracy is true at the highest magnification setting.
How long does the battery last, and what size battery does it use?
The scope uses a standard CR2032 battery, which lasts approximately 68 hours of continuous use. A spare is included in the box.
What does Trijicon's Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) do?
BAC uses the illuminated reticle to naturally draw your eye to the aiming point, enabling both-eyes-open shooting. This improves target acquisition speed and maintains peripheral vision awareness, which is valuable for hunting or tactical situations where fast follow-up shots matter.
