Trijicon 3-9x40 Credo Rifle Scope Matte Black, MOA Precision Hunter (Green)

The Trijicon 3-9x40 Credo rifle scope in matte black delivers the optical clarity and rugged reliability you need for hunting across variable light conditions. Built on decades of Trijicon's military optics expertise, this MOA Precision Hunter model pairs a green illuminated reticle with a variable 3-9x magnification range and 40mm objective—a proven combination for whitetail, elk, and medium-range hunting. The green reticle option suits most shooters in daylight and low-light scenarios, and the user-selectable LED brightness settings with an off position between each step let you dial in the exact illumination for your conditions.

Field adjustments are intuitive: exposed windage and elevation turrets with a zero stop make zeroing fast and tool-free, while the repositionable magnification lever adapts to your shooting position and rifle setup. The fully multi-coated broadband optics deliver edge-to-edge clarity with true color and minimal distortion, and the matte finish resists glare without the fuss of tactical-style hardware you may not need for hunting. Trijicon designed and tested this scope to military standards, so it's built to handle the recoil, temperature swings, and rough handling that field use demands.

The easy-focus eyepiece diopter accommodates individual vision, and the wide field of view gives you good situational awareness in the stand or stalk. This isn't a lightweight target scope or a budget bin bargain—it's a no-nonsense hunting optic from a maker known for durability in extreme conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the green and red illuminated reticle on the Credo?

Both Trijicon Credo scopes are built identically; the choice is personal preference. Green reticles tend to have better contrast in daylight and low-light hunting scenarios for many shooters, while red is traditional and works well in varied conditions. Both feature user-selectable LED brightness with an off position between settings so you can tune the illumination to your light.

Is this scope suitable for long-range hunting?

The Trijicon 3-9x40 Credo is a versatile hunting scope optimized for medium-range use. The 9x magnification is adequate for typical hunting distances (100–300 yards) with good field of view. If you're planning dedicated long-range (400+ yards), you may want to explore higher magnification options; the 3-9x excels in mixed terrain and close-to-medium ranges.

Does the magnification lever come repositionable, or do I need to adjust it myself?

The magnification lever is repositionable, meaning you can reorient it to suit your shooting position or rifle layout without tools. This allows you to find the most ergonomic hand position for your style of hunting or shooting.

What reticle focal plane is this scope?

The product record does not specify whether this is a first or second focal plane model. Trijicon offers both versions of the Credo line; confirm the focal plane type with your sales contact to ensure it matches your holdover and range-estimation preferences.
