[QUOTE="atblis, post: 2498776, member: 111803"] It's tricky to get good/meaningful reviews because it doesn't matter how good a scope is optically, you are much better served by the scope that is better mechanically and mediocre to decent optically. Meaning, it holds zero, the adjustments do what they're supposed to, and the seals hold. In my opinion, the sweet spot for finding a value scope is to find the one that is mechanically robust, and is optically 90%+ there. IMO, this used to be the Japanese made Weavers (Light Optic Works). That's history at this point. Sightron SIII is my current go to for a reasonably priced scope with great mechanicals and decent but not the best optics. Unfortunately, I don't see anything in their lineup that would fit into a hunting role. The SIII 6-24 is a great scope, but for your application, it sounds like you want a lower magnification. Meopta may be of interest. I like Vortex, but only buy their Japanese made stuff. ETA: Of the two you mentioned, I'd go for the Credo. [/QUOTE]
