Frequently Asked Questions - Credo Trijicon

How do I install the battery in my Trijicon Credo?

Hold the brightness adjustment dial in place and turn the top cap counter-clockwise. Insert a CR2032 battery with the positive side up. Incorrect insertion will prevent illumination.

How do I zero the scope?

Remove the turret caps (if capped) and adjust elevation and windage using the adjusters. Each click typically moves point of impact 1/4 MOA or 0.1 MRAD. Turn in the direction indicated by arrows to move impact toward the aiming point. After zeroing, reset the dial to zero.

How do I set the diopter (focus the reticle)?

Turn the diopter adjuster (eyepiece) in the direction that brings the reticle into sharp focus. Use the + and - indicators as a reference for your preferred setting.

What is the parallax adjustment and how do I use it?

Parallax is the apparent movement of the reticle on the target when you move your head. On models with a side parallax knob, rotate it until the reticle appears stationary on the target. The yardage marks are approximations; fine-tune by viewing through the scope.

How do I clean the lenses?

Use fresh water and a soft, clean cloth. Remove all foreign matter from the lens surface before wiping. In cold weather, fog can be cleared with a dry, soft cloth. Anti-fog solutions are safe.

What kind of warranty does Trijicon offer for the Credo?

Trijicon provides a limited lifetime warranty for optical and mechanical parts, and a 5-year warranty for electronics, covering defects in material or workmanship under normal use. The warranty is void if the product is disassembled or exported in violation of U.S. export laws.

The reticle won't illuminate. What should I check?

First, ensure the battery is installed correctly (positive side up). Check that the brightness dial is not in an 'off' position between settings. If the battery is dead, replace it with a new CR2032. If problems persist, contact Trijicon customer service.

Are the adjusters capped or external?

Both types are available depending on the model. Capped adjusters are under removable caps; external adjusters are exposed and may be locking or non-locking. Refer to your specific model's manual.

How do I perform a 'return to zero' on external adjusters?

Remove the turret top cap, loosen the three hex screws on the return-to-zero disk, let the disk drop, rotate it to the desired position, and tighten the screws to 5 in. oz. Then reinstall the turret at the zero position.

Is the scope waterproof?

Yes, the Trijicon Credo is waterproof to a depth of 10 feet (3 meters). It is also dry-nitrogen filled to prevent internal fogging.

Adjustment Procedures

ZEROING THE RIFLESCOPE

There are two different types of adjusters in the Credo family. Capped adjusters are located under the removable turret cap. External adjusters allow you to adjust point of impact by rotating the exposed elevation and the external windage turret in some models. Other models have external adjusters that lock, lift to unlock and rotate.

The riflescope is zeroed using either the adjusters located under the adjuster caps (F / G) or by rotating the external adjuster if equipped.

Dapped Adjusters External Adjusters

There are two adjusters, one for windage (right side of scope) and one for elevation (top). The arrows on the adjusters indicate direction to turn the adjusters in order to change bullet impact.

For example, using the 1/4 MOA per click adjuster, if the point of impact is two MOA to the left of the aiming point, the windage adjuster should be moved eight clicks in the direction marked R (Right). This will move the bullet impact two MOA to the right and onto the point of aim. Similarly, if the bullet impact is striking low on the target, move the elevation adjuster in the Up direction. Once the optic's elevation and windage is zeroed, reset the adjuster to zero.

A: Eyepiece Lens
B: Diopter Adjuster
C: Magnification Dial

D: Illumination Dial and Battery Cap
E: Parallax Adjuster (if equipped)

F: Elevation Adjuster
G: Windage Adjuster
H: Objective Lens

CAPPED ADJUSTERS

With the adjuster cap removed, pull the adjustment dial cut and it will spin freely, push down at the zero position. For adjustment dials with threaded top cap, remove top cap by holding main body and rotating top cap counter-clockwise. Once top cap removed, lift adjuster body off, set to zero and religion top cap.

Adjustment Procedures

EXTERNAL ADJUSTERS / RETURN TO ZERO

Once the rifle's elevation is zeroed, remove the adjuster turret by turning the thropped top cap counter clockwise (1). Remove the top cap (2), remove the adjuster body (turret) (3), then loosen the three hex screws around the Return to Zero disk with the provided 1.5mm hex wrench. After loosening the hex screws, let the Return to Zero disc drop to the adjuster housing (4) and rotate clockwise (5) until the Return to Zero disk stops. Once the Return to Zero is set to the desired position, tighten the three hex screws to 5 in. oz. or finger light using the 1.5mm hex wrench (6). To complete the Return to Zero adjustment, reinstall the adjuster body at the zero position (7), and reinstall the top cap (8).

LOCKING EXTERNAL ADJUSTERS (1-8x28)

Zero the rifle as described previously and lock the adjuster's by pushing down. Once locked, remove the adjuster body by turning the threaded top cap counter-clockwise (1). Once removed, fill the adjuster body and rotate to zero (2). Press the adjuster body back down and reinstall the threaded cap (3).

DIOPTER ADJUSTER (EASY FOCUS EYEPIECE)

The Diopter Adjuster (B) allows the user to quickly match the user's prescription. Adjustments are made by simply turning the Diopter Adjuster in the direction which brings the reticle into focus. An indicator (+ / -) is a useful reference point for returning the focus to your customized position.

The Brightness Adjustment Dial is located on the left side of the housing and is equipped with an "OFF" setting between each of the brightness settings. This enables the user to be able to easily switch the unit on or off and return to the last brightness setting. The brightness adjustment for the optic has ten settings, (1) being the dimmest and (10) the brightest. If a dual color offering there will be ten settings, live of each color, with (1) being the dimmest and (5) brightest for each color. Turn the Brightness Adjustment Dial to the preferred brightness setting based on conditions.

Adjustment Procedures

MAGNIFICATION DIAL

Trijicon Credo riflescopes are available in various ranges of magnification. Magnification is selected by rotating the Magnification Dial (C), aligning the white indicator marking with the number on the riflescope housing. Some models are equipped with a 2-position repositionable magnification lever. This lever is threaded in and can be moved to the other position by removing the filler screw with the supplied 3mm Allen key, lighten lever into place, and reinstall filler screw in vacant screw hole.

SIDE PARALLAX ADJUSTMENT (IF EQUIPPED)

Parallax is the perceptible movement of the reticle on the target as the shooter moves their head up and down, or side to side. Parallax adjustment can improve accuracy. Adjustment is recommended at all distances to improve accuracy.

Checking parallax is done by slightly lifting your head off of the stock and moving your head left and right and up and down while looking though the scope. Does the reticle appear to move while it is placed on the target? If so, rotate the side Parallax Adjustment knob until parallax or reticle movement is minimized. There are yardage indicators on the Parallax Adjustment knob that serve as approximations. For example, if target is 300 yards away, rotate Parallax Adjustment to the 300 mark and make fine tuning adjustments by viewing through scope.

You may notice your Field of View (FOV) is more focused when making parallax adjustment. The key point is to make sure the reticle is not moving instead of concentrating on how sharp your image is. If your reticle parallax is correct your target should be sharp and in focus.

Science of Brilliant ^®

ALASKA-TO-AFRICA TEMPERATURE TESTED

To ensure each family of riflescopes is ready for whatever our users put them through, we perform "Alaska to Africa" temperature shock tests with temps from -20°F to 140°F.

IMMERSION TESTED

Each model is immersion tested, and every riflescope is dry-nitrogen filled to eliminate internal fogging.

SOLID ZERO TESTED

Every model is subjected to 5,000 consecutive rounds, confirming no reticle shift has occurred.

All models are tested to withstand recoil and vibrational stresses without malfunction, so it can take a beating before, during and after use.

DROP TESTED

We don't believe every drop should be followed by a warranty claim, so we drop test each riflescope design to check durability.

Maintenance

This Trilicon® product requires very little maintenance. If the lenses become dirty, wash using fresh water and a soft clean cloth. Remove all foreign matter from the lens surface fully before wiping them with a soft cloth. The outside lenses may log over in cold weather. Remove fog by using a dry, clean soft cloth. Anti-fog solutions can be applied if desired.
