Trijicon Credo 3-9x40 Rifle Scope - Matte Black, MIL-Square Reticle (Red)

The Trijicon Credo 3-9x40 rifle scope is a mid-range hunting and tactical optic built on decades of real-world deployment experience. With a 3-9x magnification range and 40mm objective, it strikes the balance most shooters want for hunting, sport shooting, and field work—enough zoom for precision aiming without losing field of view or ease of use. The red illuminated MIL-Square reticle gives you a bright aiming point in low light, with user-selectable brightness settings that let you dial in the perfect intensity for dawn, dusk, or daylight conditions.

This scope is engineered for durability in harsh conditions. Trijicon tested it to military standards, and it shows: exposed windage and elevation adjusters move with a crisp, confident click, zero-stop prevents accidental drift, and the matte-black finish resists glare while the construction handles the punishment field use demands. The fully multi-coated glass delivers edge-to-edge clarity and true color, so you see targets sharply across the entire view—no tunnel vision or image degradation at the edges.

Setup is straightforward. The easy-focus eyepiece diopter adjusts to your individual eye, the repositionable magnification lever fits different shooting positions and rifle setups, and the tool-free adjusters let you dial in your zero quickly. The illuminated reticle performs double duty: it gives your eye a fast focal point for quick target acquisition, and the brightness control means you're never hunting with a reticle that's too dim or too bright for the light you're in.
