The tenmile did quite well in testing on the rokslide scope eval by Form. If the credo is solid for you then that will boost confidence greatly that his wasn’t just a one off good one and that trijicon is putting out some tough and repeatable goods.

Am interested in this as well

Looks like it to me Mike.

I'll be watching this one. I have thought a Montana set up at such would be a wicked animal.

The Reupold BC's are Skookum,they have meat on the bone. Hint.

[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]

As to said Trijicon Credo HX 1-8x28. It's glass is very obviously great. The controls are intuitive,concise and very friendly. Hint.

I'd take parallax control,but it's not offered in said Model. The reticle(MOA sadly) and illumination(way daylight bright) are fhuqking exceptional. I'll always take FFP Mil/Mil when given a choice,but as there are NO choices in this Model,FFP MOA/MOA is certainly doable. Eye-relief is both forgiving and HUGE. It's very WELL laid out. Hint.

The erector is billed as 100 MOA,though this one actuates 105 (windage centered). There is no zero stop,but setting zero is fast and easy,by loosening the top of the locking turret and removing same to index as per whim. The erector scale is 25MOA per revolution,in .25MOA increments. Such things make sense,rather than say a Reupold MK5's Mil erector,travelling 10.5 Mil per revolution...which is pretty fhuqking stupid. With the Credo's locking turrets(both) and robust erector detents,one isn't going to actuate either adjustment,without WANTING to. These are good things. Hint.

1000 words in comparison. Hint.

These things are of course granted in accordance to billed Specifications and less a bullet being fired,yet. Hint.

To be continued. Hint..................

This is so exciting.

Will Leupold be able to keep up with the ChiComs? Not looking good but maybe it will be a Cinderella story?

I, like all the Fans, can't wait for more pictures of "pretend" hunting, staged shots, and "wares that exist".

Isn't the Credo HX the MOA version of the Credo in Mil? Sorry if I am mistaken?

Indeed,at the time of order,Euro' didn't have same and now it appears that they don't have the MOA/MOA. Kiss,find pressure and rock on. Hint.

I suspect John Burns's distain for Stick is the same distain he has for the women of the "Real Housewives" shows. He thinks Stick is pompous and narcissistic, but he can't take his eyes off the titties.

BTW, the Trij is made in Japan.

Load Development done in (3) shots and long before base,rings or glass was affixed. Hint.

Now to simply shoot a zero,verify stabilization and gun come-ups. Hint.

Bore sighted at 25yds,shot once,corrected and flung a Hasty Trio at 50yds. Looked things over,holes were round,corrected and fired (1) shot at 100yds and zero'd turrets. Hint.

Pea Soup hit The Deck,so hopefuly come-ups in the morning. Hint.

Admittedly,10.5 Mils per revolution is REALLY fhuqking funny! Hint.

[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]

Same goes the Goat Fhuqk 35mm tube,to eek less erector travel and less parallax control. Hint.

[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]

Not to mention a fhuqking zero stop,that can't even deliver all of it's lesser erector travel. Hint.

[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]

You make a great point,about eeking a .796 BC's splendor,in a rather sensational parcel. Hint.
