The Trijicon Credo 1-6×24 Low Power Variable Optic (LPVO) is engineered for dynamic engagements, providing a versatile solution for close-quarters battle to intermediate range precision. KFF Defense evaluates this optic as a robust, high-performance instrument designed to withstand rigorous field conditions while delivering uncompromising optical clarity and rapid target acquisition.
Key Features
Variable Magnification Range (1-6x)
The 1x setting delivers a true-color, wide field of view for rapid, heads-up target identification and engagement, effectively mimicking red dot performance. Transitioning to 6x magnification facilitates precise target discrimination and shot placement at extended distances.
Advanced Optical System
Utilizes multi-coated, broadband, anti-reflective glass for superior light transmission, ensuring a bright, clear sight picture across varied lighting conditions. Image resolution and color fidelity are maintained throughout the magnification range, crucial for target identification.
BDC Red Illuminated Reticle
The dedicated Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC) reticle, illuminated in red, offers 10 distinct brightness settings for optimal visibility in diverse environments. This reticle is designed for rapid holdovers, enhancing precision for specific ammunition calibers without manual dial adjustments. The LED illumination system is battery-powered, providing reliable visibility when ambient light is low.
Robust Construction
Machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, the 30mm main body tube is engineered for exceptional durability and impact resistance. The hard-anodized matte black finish protects against abrasion and corrosion, ensuring long-term operational integrity in demanding conditions.
Precision Adjustments
Encapsulated turrets provide crisp, repeatable 0.1 MIL click adjustments, enabling precise zeroing and corrections. Each click maintains positive tactile feedback, facilitating adjustments without visual confirmation.
Environmental Resistance
The optic is nitrogen-purged to eliminate internal fogging across extreme temperature fluctuations. Seals ensure complete waterproof integrity to a depth of 10 feet (3 meters), making it reliable in wet or humid environments.
