[QUOTE="BCC72, post: 2808386, member: 125695"] I truly appreciate your in-depth reply. I have owned the VX6HD (firedot duplex) for a couple of years and used it on various rifles. Primary use has been for coyotes on the property out of a tree stand and a few hog trips when I travel for work in FL from home in Montana. I owned the Credo 1-8x28 for a short time and put it on a 450 Bushmaster for hogs and Deer. Weight was an issue. Not huge but noticeable. I traded it to a friend for something I can't even remember... I have a VX5HD 3-15x44 sitting around that he would like and I was considering getting the Credo back as it could work well on one of my 338RPM's. I have the Backcountry 2.0 with a Zeiss V6 3-18x50. Weight of total setup on that comes in at 7.04 pounds before ammo. This and my 280ai with NF NX8 4-32x50 are my primary hunt at home in MT and travel guns. The Credo 1-8x28 with rail and rings (rail necessary of course with the 34's) will come in at nearly the exact same weight, 7.035 pounds before ammo on the Ti version I have (5.0Lbs as compared to the 5.4Lb standard version). Weight won't be a factor. That reticle on the Credo.... I wasn't sure on it before with it getting so big at max magnification. I shouldn't need max as it's primarily going to be a 1x- 5x setup but figuring 8x would be nice to have if its usable. Reservation on the VX6HD I mounted on it is purely durability. Reservation on the Credo is reticle. Agree with you on the low light 100% hence the 28 might be an advantage. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Mk5HD. I was going to mount one on my 6.5-300wby Ti. Currently wears a Steiner 3-24x50 which is beautiful glass but not a fan of the reticle. I got the Tremor3 Mk5HD to try on it. Thought it could be a good quick Antelope and LR coyote rig. [/QUOTE]
