Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Trijicon 2.5-15x42

Bought this for my Rim-X , figured might as well know whether it was GTG before wasting a bunch of time. First couple times out I simply sighted it and shot groups.
First things first, I laid out the TTT at 9” intervals based on shooting 5 mil come ups at 50Yds. After noticing the discrepancy in elevation was going up equally after 5,10,15 and 20 I grabbed my LRF and verified my 50yd bench (after a lot of years shooting here) is actually 54 yards, so you’ll see in blue I adjusted my original 9” lines to 9 11/16” spacing (3.6” divided by 100yds, x 54yds = 1 15/16”/mil x 5 mils = 9 11/16”)

Shot zero, then used turrets to make 5 mil adjustments up to 20 mils, dropped it back to zero, used the reticle to shoot 5 and 10 (all the reticle has) then dialed 10 and shot 5 and 10 on the reticle again.

Off to the left of the 10mil line you’ll see where I was checking RTZ
Shot zero, dialed up 10, down 20 then back to zero 4 times, fifth time I dialed up the max it would go then back to zero. RTZ was excellent.
There was a 5-10mph left right wind blowing, 22deg out and snow on the ground.

The professional Benchrest setup

The target down range

The target after shooting

The target after making adjustments for the extra 4 yards I was actually shooting. (Tape over some addition holes, shot a few other rifles and taped those targets over this one.

I circled each 3 shot group and marked them as adj and R or Ret so I’d know which was which.

Should’ve clarified, Rim-X .22lr, SK standard, SWfA rings, TT diamond, Mickey classic, grayboe DBM, Shilen barrel.

Used a stabila level to plumb the center line of the target

Is this the Credo HX line?

Standard Credo. SFP, illuminated MRAD reticle.
Illumination is really nice on these IMO.

As I understand, mechanically the same as HX line.

Thanks.

Same/same. HX mostly is MOA and Mil on the non HX but there’s some exceptions.

Looks like it tracked well. Eye relief as advertised (3.4 - 3.9")?

I'm looking seriously at buying 2 of these, one for a 270 and another for a 7 RM.

No idea for certain on the ER but it’s comfortable. Wouldn’t hesitate to put it on either of those.
Not many miles on it yet but would take another.

Nice. I need to test a credo I have.

I’m gonna run my 1-8x through the paces next weekend after Stick had issues with his. Mounted it and sighted it in last weekend but didn’t have time to shoot many rds through it other than a hasty 5 shot group after zeroing it. Hope it’s not a dog after what I paid for it.
