Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 Coyote MOA Powerful FFP Scope

Description

The Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 Coyote MOA is a first focal plane low power variable riflescope built for shooters who need one optic to cover a doorway at arm’s length and a steel plate at six hundred yards. It pairs a 34mm main tube with a 28mm objective, wraps both in coyote brown hard anodize, and drives a dual red and green illuminated MOA Segmented Circle reticle. Trijicon assigns this configuration part number CR828-C-2900055.

Why The Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 Coyote MOA Suits Minute Of Angle Shooters

The single most useful thing about the Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 Coyote MOA is that the reticle subtensions and the elevation dial are calibrated in the same unit. A holdover you read off the reticle converts to turret clicks with no arithmetic in between. Spot an impact two minutes low, count two minutes on the stadia, and dial eight clicks at a quarter minute each.

Shooters who grew up on minutes of angle, who zero at one hundred yards and think in inches, and who shoot alongside partners calling corrections in inches will find this the shorter path to a hit. A milliradian reticle bolted to minute turrets is where range day mistakes come from, and matching the two units removes that failure point entirely.

Turret Travel And Click Value On The Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 Coyote MOA

Adjustment travel runs one hundred minutes in elevation and one hundred in windage, with each click moving a quarter minute. That works out to roughly a quarter inch at one hundred yards and a full inch at four hundred yards. One hundred minutes of total travel is generous for a one to eight power scope.

That travel leaves plenty of room above a hundred yard zero for extended shots once you add a canted mount. The turrets on the Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 Coyote MOA are capped rather than exposed, which suits a scope that spends most of its life holding a zero rather than being dialed between every string of fire.

Dual Illumination And First Focal Plane Optics

Because the reticle sits in the first focal plane, the segmented circle grows and shrinks with magnification and its subtensions stay honest at every setting. At one power the illuminated circle behaves like a red dot: both eyes open, target in focus, the circle floating where you look. Trijicon calls this the Bindon Aiming Concept.

At eight power the same reticle shrinks into a precise aiming array with usable holds. The Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 Coyote MOA does not ask you to choose between a close quarters sight and a marksman scope, which is the whole argument for buying a one to eight power optic instead of two separate ones.

Illumination comes from an LED fed by a single CR2032 cell, with five brightness settings in red and five in green. Runtime is about thirty nine hours on red and ninety four hours on green at full brightness. Green reads better against brown and tan backgrounds, red reads better against green foliage and against snow.

Field Of View, Weight And Mounting The Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 Coyote MOA

Field of view at one power measures one hundred and five feet at a hundred yards, wide enough to run the Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 Coyote MOA as a close range sight without feeling like you are looking down a tube. At eight power it narrows to just over thirteen feet, tight enough to hold a target and read wind at distance.

Weight is twenty five and a half ounces and overall length is ten and four fifths inches, normal for a 34mm bodied one to eight power optic. Budget for a quality 34mm mount. A scope of this caliber deserves better than a cast ring set, and it carries enough mass that a poor mount will let it shift under recoil.

• Reticle and turrets are both in minutes of angle, so corrections need no conversion
• First focal plane subtensions stay accurate at every magnification setting
• Dual red and green illumination with five brightness settings in each color

Who The Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 Coyote MOA Is Built For

This scope suits the shooter running a patrol rifle, a duty carbine, or a general purpose gas gun who wants a single optic on the receiver year round. Competitors shooting two gun and three gun matches favor the one to eight class because it makes close stages fast without giving up the distant plates.

Hunters using a semi automatic rifle for hogs or predators get a wide field at one power for moving shots and enough magnification for a considered shot across a cut field. If your shooting community talks in inches and minutes, the Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 Coyote MOA is the version of this scope to buy.

Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 Coyote MOA Versus The MRAD Version

Trijicon builds this scope in two flavors that are identical except for the unit of measure. Part number CR828-C-2900055 is the minute of angle version described on this page. Part number CR828-C-2900056 is the milliradian version, with a mil segmented circle and one tenth mil clicks. Neither is better than the other.

Pick the one that matches how you and the people you shoot with call corrections, and never mix a reticle in one unit with turrets in another. If you are still deciding, browse the rest of our optics selection and read the manufacturer specification page before you commit.

The box ships with a magnification knob and replacement screw, one CR2032 battery, a quick reference guide, a warranty card and a vinyl logo sticker.
