Overview
Trijicon Credo HX 2.5-15x42 SFP is a second focal plane hunting riflescope with an illuminated red/green PowerDot BDC Hunter Holds reticle and a 6x zoom range from 2.5-15x.
Trijicon markets the reticle's PowerDot Hunter Holds as a switchable red or green illuminated aiming point built for holdover shooting, paired with a slim, low-profile scope body. Beyond zoom range, illumination color and a rugged zero retention claim, the listing gives little on turret specs, adjustment range or tube diameter, so buyers relying on those numbers should confirm with Trijicon directly.

- Illuminated red/green PowerDot BDC Hunter Holds reticle
- Marketed rugged zero retention
- Slim, low-profile design
Who it's for
This suits hunters who want a switchable red/green illuminated holdover reticle in a slim body, though buyers who need documented turret travel or eye relief before purchasing should look elsewhere.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Illuminated reticle switches between red and green
- 6x zoom ratio from 2.5-15x
- Slim, low-profile scope body
- Turret adjustment range, eye relief and tube diameter not specified in the listing data
Performance notes
The PowerDot BDC Hunter Holds reticle sits in the second focal plane, meaning its illuminated dot and holdover marks stay a constant size on screen regardless of magnification, rather than scaling with zoom the way a first focal plane reticle would.
