Trj 2900056 Credo 1-8X28 Ffp Rflscope Mrad Coy
The Trijicon Credo 1-8x28 FFP riflescope is a first focal plane variable optic built for shooters who need genuine versatility—one minute running close-quarters drills, the next stretching shots across distance. The 1-8x magnification range, 34mm tube, and 28mm objective deliver the kind of optical performance that wins in competitive environments and real-world scenarios. A low power variable (LPV) of this caliber doesn't compromise: fully multi-coated broadband glass, a 3–4 inch eye relief, and an efficient exit pupil (0.46 in. at 1x, 0.14 in. at 8x) keep your sight picture sharp whether you're working indoors or in fading light.
The heart of this scope is the dual red/green illuminated MRAD Segmented Circle reticle—a purpose-built design that works for CQB and distance shooting without fussy complexity. Five brightness settings each for red and green mean you can dial illumination to match any lighting condition, and the first focal plane positioning ensures reticle subtensions stay true across the entire zoom range. With 0.1 MRAD per click adjustment and 29.1 MRAD total travel, you've got the resolution and range to dial for wind and elevation from contact distance out to serious range. The 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum housing finished in coyote brown is light at 25.6 oz and built to handle sustained use.
The scope ships ready to work: ScopeCoat lens protection, the battery (CR2032), a repositionable magnification knob for your shooting hand, and a quick reference guide are all included. Battery life runs 39 hours on red and 94 hours on green—plenty of runtime between checks. This is a scope for shooters who refuse to choose between speed and precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Credo 1-8x28 suitable for both close-range and long-range shooting?
Yes. The 1-8x magnification range, first focal plane reticle, and MRAD Segmented Circle design are intentionally built for rapid engagement at close distance and precision work at extended range. The low power variable design excels when you need speed and accuracy in the same session.
What is the eye relief, and does it work with body armor or a helmet?
Eye relief is 3–4 inches, providing solid clearance for most shooting setups and enough standoff for use in tactical environments. The comfortable range accommodates both bare-eye shooting and use with common protective gear.
How long does the battery last, and what's included in the box?
Battery life is 39 hours on red illumination and 94 hours on green. The scope ships with one CR2032 battery already installed, plus a ScopeCoat lens cover, a repositionable magnification knob, a replacement screw, and a quick reference guide.
Does this scope work in low light?
Yes. The 28mm objective and fully multi-coated optics provide good light transmission in dim conditions. The dual red/green illuminated reticle with independent brightness adjustment for each color lets you dial in visibility for any lighting environment without washing out your sight picture.
