Trijicon Credo 1-8x28

• 1-8x LPVO range: True 1x supports fast, both-eyes-open shooting at short distance, while 8x gives enough magnification for more deliberate holds and target identification farther out.
• First focal plane MRAD reticle: The MRAD Segmented Circle scales with magnification, so holdovers and subtensions stay consistent throughout the zoom range for faster transitions between close and distant targets.
• Dual red/green illumination: User-selectable LED illumination helps the aiming point stand out against different backgrounds and light conditions, making the reticle easier to pick up under pressure.
• 34 mm tube with locking tactical turrets: The larger tube provides 29.1 MRAD of total adjustment travel, while exposed locking adjusters reduce the chance of accidental movement during transport or hard field use.
• Broadband fully multi-coated glass: The optical system is built for strong contrast, good light transmission and a wide field of view, helping the shooter scan quickly at low power and place shots more precisely at higher magnification.

About the Trijicon Credo Series

The Trijicon Credo series sits in Trijicon’s sporting and tactical riflescope lineup as a family built around practical versatility. These scopes are designed for shooters who want dependable optical performance and durable construction without moving into the fixed-format role of a dedicated combat optic. Across the range, the Credo family covers hunting optics, tactical optics and competition use, with models that span low-power variable configurations through higher-magnification precision formats.

A defining trait of the series is its focus on clear, usable glass, purpose-driven reticles and controls matched to the intended role of each model. Depending on configuration, the line includes first focal plane and second focal plane options, illuminated reticles, capped or exposed turrets, and tube sizes suited to either compact handling or greater adjustment range. The design philosophy is straightforward: give the shooter a robust optic with intuitive operation, a clean sight picture and reticle choices that support fast engagement, holdovers and ranging in real field conditions. In the LPVO segment, the Credo line is especially oriented toward rifles that must handle both close work and longer shots with one optic.

About the Trijicon Credo 1-8x28

The Trijicon Credo 1-8x28 is a low power variable riflescope built for shooters who need one optic to cover short-range speed and extended-distance precision. At 1x, it supports rapid engagement and wide-area awareness, helped by a generous 35.30 m/100m field of view that makes movement and target transitions easier to manage. At 8x, it gives enough magnification for more careful shot placement, target discrimination and use of reticle holds at distance, which makes it well suited to tactical carbines, practical competition rifles and general-purpose rifles set up for varied terrain.

This version uses a first focal plane design with an illuminated MRAD Segmented Circle reticle. In practical use, that means the reticle’s subtensions remain valid throughout the zoom range, so the shooter can use holds without being tied to one specific magnification. The illuminated center helps the eye find the aiming point faster in mixed light or against cluttered backgrounds, while the segmented circle format remains quick to read at low power.

The scope is built around a 34 mm tube with exposed locking adjusters and 0.1 MRAD click adjustments, giving a tactical control layout that is easy to dial and resistant to unintended movement. Fully multi-coated broadband anti-reflective glass supports contrast and color fidelity, while the 76.00 mm to 101.00 mm eye relief range gives flexibility across shooting positions. A fast-focus eyepiece and repositionable magnification knob further improve speed and handling on rifles used across changing distances.

About Trijicon

Trijicon was founded in 1981 by Glyn Bindon and is based in Wixom, Michigan, United States. The company focuses on aiming systems for military, law enforcement, hunting and shooting applications, with a product range that includes riflescopes, red dot sights, electro-optics and iron sights. Its long-standing reputation in this field is closely tied to illumination systems developed around tritium, fiber optics and LED technology, each chosen to suit different sighting roles.

Trijicon is also known for landmark products that shaped the modern optics market. The company introduced the ACOG riflescope in 1987, and later expanded its influence in miniature reflex sights with the Ruggedized Miniature Reflex (RMR) in 2009. That background is relevant to the Credo line because it reflects Trijicon’s emphasis on durable construction, practical reticle design and optics intended for serious field use rather than purely bench-based shooting.
