For anyone looking to elevate their shooting capabilities, the Trijicon Credo 3-9x40mm riflescope stands out as a prime solution.

It’s the answer for shooters who refuse to compromise on quality, visibility, and robust construction in their pursuit of excellence.

The Trijicon Credo series is renowned for its battle-proven resilience and optical clarity, a legacy Trijicon carries from its military and law enforcement applications into the civilian market. The 3-9x40mm configuration is a favorite among a wide array of users due to its inherent versatility, making it an excellent choice for everything from close-quarters engagements at 3x to precision shots out to hundreds of yards at 9x.

Optical Excellence and Clarity: See the Difference

At the core of the Trijicon Credo's superior performance are its meticulously crafted optics. The scope features a 40mm objective lens, which is an ideal size for gathering ample light without adding excessive bulk to your rifle. This allows for bright, clear images even in twilight conditions or heavily shaded environments, which is crucial for early morning or late evening hunting expeditions.

• Multi-Coated Lenses: Every glass surface within the Credo 3-9x40mm is treated with Trijicon's proprietary multi-coating process. This advanced coating maximizes light transmission, ensuring you receive the brightest, most vibrant sight picture possible. It also significantly reduces glare and reflections, enhancing contrast and clarity, which helps in identifying targets against complex backgrounds. For hunters, this means clearer distinction between game and foliage; for target shooters, crisper details on the bullseye.
• Crisp Magnification Range: The 3-9x magnification range is often considered the "sweet spot" for an all-around riflescope.
  • 3x Magnification: Provides a wide field of view, making it excellent for fast target acquisition, tracking moving game, or navigating dense brush. It's also ideal for closer shots where situational awareness is key.
  • 9x Magnification: Offers sufficient power for precise shot placement on medium to longer-range targets, allowing you to clearly see details and aim points. This range is perfectly suited for common hunting distances for deer, elk, and other big game, as well as for most recreational shooting at typical rifle ranges.

The balance of the 3-9x range ensures that whether you're stalking through thick timber or lining up a shot across an open field, the Trijicon Credo 3-9x40mm adapts seamlessly to your needs.

The Illuminated Red Duplex Reticle and Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC)

One of the standout features of the Trijicon Credo 2900043 is its LED Illuminated Red Duplex Reticle, strategically placed in the Second Focal Plane (SFP).

• Second Focal Plane (SFP) Reticle: In an SFP scope, the reticle remains the same size regardless of the magnification setting. This means your holdovers and ranging estimations using the reticle will be accurate only at a specific magnification (typically the highest or a marked magnification), but it ensures the reticle remains visible and usable at all power settings without becoming too thick or too thin. For many hunters and general shooters, this consistent reticle appearance is highly preferred.
• LED Illuminated Red Duplex Reticle: The bright red illumination provides exceptional contrast against dark targets or in low-light conditions, making the reticle incredibly easy to see and acquire quickly. The Duplex reticle itself is a classic, intuitive design, featuring thick outer posts that quickly draw your eye to the center, and fine crosshairs for precise aiming.
  • Adjustable Brightness Settings: The LED illumination offers multiple brightness settings, allowing you to fine-tune the reticle's intensity to perfectly match the ambient light conditions, preventing washout in bright daylight or overpowering glare in extreme darkness. This adaptability ensures optimal reticle visibility in any scenario, from bright midday sun to deep twilight.
  • CR2032 Battery Powered: The reticle is powered by a common CR2032 battery, which is included, ensuring you have power right out of the box and easy replacements when needed.
• Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC): A hallmark of Trijicon optics, the Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) is a revolutionary aiming method that allows you to use both eyes open for rapid target acquisition while maintaining peripheral vision. With the Trijicon Credo's illuminated reticle, the BAC is particularly effective:
  • When looking through the scope with the illuminated reticle, your dominant eye sees the bright, clear reticle superimposed on the target.
  • Simultaneously, your non-dominant eye remains open, providing a wide, unaided field of view.
  • Your brain naturally processes these two images, allowing for extremely fast target engagement, especially on moving targets or in dynamic shooting situations. The illuminated reticle "pops" into view for your dominant eye, guiding your shot while your other eye maintains full situational awareness. This dramatically reduces the "tunnel vision" often experienced with traditional magnified optics.

This combination of an illuminated SFP reticle and the BAC makes the Trijicon Credo 3-9x40mm an incredibly fast and effective optic for a variety of shooting scenarios, from quick follow-up shots on game to rapid transitions during tactical drills.

Unwavering Durability: Built to Withstand the Toughest Conditions

Trijicon scopes are synonymous with ruggedness, and the Credo 3-9x40mm is no exception. It's engineered to perform flawlessly even in the most demanding environments, a critical factor for hunters and professionals who rely on their equipment in unpredictable conditions.

• Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Housing: The entire scope body is constructed from ultra-lightweight, yet incredibly strong, aircraft-grade aluminum. This material choice ensures exceptional durability against impacts, drops, and general wear and tear, while keeping the overall weight of your rifle setup manageable. At just 17.02 ounces, it adds minimal burden to your carry, a significant advantage on long hunts or patrols.
• Matte Black Finish: The matte black finish not only provides a sleek, professional aesthetic but also helps to minimize glare and reflections, preventing your position from being compromised by reflected light.
• Anti-Scratch Coating: The external lens surfaces are protected by a specialized anti-scratch coating, safeguarding your pristine sight picture from abrasions and minor impacts common in the field.
• Comprehensive Proofing: The Trijicon Credo is meticulously sealed and nitrogen-purged to provide complete protection against the elements:
  • Fog Proof: Ensures the internal optics remain clear and free of fogging, even with rapid temperature changes or high humidity.
  • Shockproof: Designed to withstand heavy recoil from powerful rifle cartridges and accidental impacts, maintaining its zero and structural integrity.
  • Waterproof: Submersible, ensuring no water ingress even in heavy downpours, river crossings, or accidental submersion. This level of environmental sealing provides peace of mind that your optic will perform reliably, no matter the weather.

When you invest in a Trijicon Credo, you're investing in a piece of equipment that is built to last, providing unwavering performance when you need it most.

Precision Adjustments and Ergonomics: Dialing in Your Shot

The mechanical precision of a riflescope is just as important as its optical clarity. The Trijicon Credo 3-9x40mm offers intuitive and reliable adjustments for pinpoint accuracy.

• Crisp .25 MOA Adjustments: The windage and elevation turrets feature precise 0.25 MOA (Minute of Angle) click adjustments. Each click moves your point of impact by ¼ inch at 100 yards, allowing for incredibly fine-tuning of your zero. With a generous 50 MOA of both windage and elevation adjustment range, you have ample room to compensate for bullet drop and wind drift across various distances and environmental factors.
• Easy Focus Type: The eyepiece features an "Easy" focus type, which typically refers to a fast-focus diopter that allows for quick and precise adjustment of the reticle sharpness to match your individual eyesight, ensuring a clear view for every user.
• Generous Eye Relief: With an eye relief of 3.50" to 3.70", the Trijicon Credo provides a comfortable and safe viewing distance from the eyepiece. This is particularly important for shooters using rifles with heavy recoil, as it helps prevent scope bite and allows for a more relaxed and consistent cheek weld.
• Wide Field of View: The scope offers a field of view ranging from 35.50 feet at 3x magnification down to 11.80 feet at 9x magnification, both measured at 100 yards. This broad field of view ensures excellent situational awareness, enabling quick target acquisition and tracking, whether you're scanning a hillside for game or navigating a dynamic shooting course.
• Compact and Lightweight Design: At a length of 12.30 inches and a weight of just 17.02 ounces, the Trijicon Credo 3-9x40mm is designed to be a streamlined addition to your rifle. Its 1-inch main tube diameter is a common standard, making it compatible with a vast array of readily available mounting rings and bases, simplifying the setup process for any shooter.
