Trijicon Credo 1-8x28 34mm Rifle Scope - Matte Black, MRAD Segmented Circle (Red/Green)
Trijicon
The Trijicon Credo 1-8x28 riflescope in Coyote Brown is a versatile low-power variable optic built for shooters who demand speed at close range and precision at distance. Housed in a 34mm tube with a 28mm objective lens, this scope excels in competitive shooting, tactical applications, and hunting scenarios where you need to transition quickly between targets or adjust for varying yardages without cycling through extreme magnification changes. The 1x setting keeps your field of view wide and your eye box forgiving for fast CQB-style engagements, while the 8x magnification handles mid-range to longer shots when you dial it up.
What sets the Credo apart is its dual red/green illuminated MRAD Segmented Circle reticle—a purposeful design that works in bright daylight, dim conditions, and everything in between. Five intensity levels for each color let you dial in the perfect brightness for your lighting, and the LED illumination is powered by a single CR2032 battery with impressive runtime (39 hours on red, 94 hours on green). The reticle sits in the first focal plane, so it scales with magnification for consistent holdover and wind correction across the entire zoom range.
Built from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum in a durable Coyote Brown anodized finish, the Credo delivers the ruggedness you expect from Trijicon without unnecessary weight. The fully multi-coated broadband glass maximizes light transmission and edge contrast, critical for low-light hunts or early/late season pursuits. Eye relief spans 3 to 4 inches, and the 0.25 MOA per-click adjustments (100 MOA available in each direction) give you precision without fiddly turrets. The repositionable magnification knob keeps your hand position consistent, and the included Scopecoat adds another layer of protection for your glass.
Whether you're running a modern sporting rifle, a precision hunting setup, or a tactical carbine, the Credo 1-8x28 fills the gap between dedicated close-quarters optics and traditional hunting scopes—without forcing you to choose.
