Great hunting scope option

[cmshoot]

Was putting together a complete rifle package for a customer for his first Montana elk hunt.

Rifle is a Weatherby 307 XP Range in 7mmRemMag

20MOA Peak Picatinny base

MDT rings

Customer left the rifle, caliber, and optic up to me. I was looking for a scope, and I had certain criteria. He'll be hunting the same property that I was on last year, and in the 3 days I hunted there, I had shots from 90 yards to 600yds.

Some of the criteria I was looking for:
-bottom end of under 3x
-top end of at least 10x
-illuminated, ranging MOA reticle
-compact to medium size, with an objective less than 50mm
-quality you can depend on to be drug through the snows and terrain in central Montana

I ended up choosing a scope I hadn't seen before, but checked all the boxes; Trijicon Credo HX 2.5-15x42mm.

I'm really impressed with this scope as a solid hunting scope option. If I need to pick up another anytime soon, this one is towards the top of my list.

MSRP is $1380, we sell them at TruPrep for $1260.

They make an MRAD version in the Credo line.

I know, I am just teasing you.

Meh, I shoot mil but it’s two languages that accomplish the same thing.

I get it, it's a preference.......but if you can get the system that you prefer, then why not?

I trained a lot of shooters in long range. Some don't have a problem with working in both systems, some folks absolutely cannot get their head wrapped around the other system, whether it be MOA or mils.

Big fan of the credo line! I’ve had a couple customers go with them and they’ve had zero complaints!

I agree. I’ve trained up a bunch of folks on both as well. Pick one and roll with it.

Just got behind one on an a friends Christiansen 6.5. Nice for sure but it was in 5x50/56. Liked all aspects except the windage turent markings. The .125 adjustment is nice and preferred at 500 plus. Overall I was impressed.
