Are they any good? Looking at the credo 2.5-15 and the ten mile 3-18… I want something I can shoot steel out to 1k with that preforms decently in low light conditions and I plan on hunting and dialing out to 600… they are some long scopes lol… the 3-18 is a fairly large scope so I'm also curious if that is bothersome
Trijicon scopes ?

They're pretty solid scopes and durable as hell. I actually like the longer tube, short scopes are usually harder to get behind and can be tough to mount on long actions.
I have three including the 3-18

They check a lot of boxes, some reticles I really like.
I want one, but not enough to pay retail when there are smoking deals on them second hand, but I am leary of second hand because Trijicon only warrants the scope to the original purchaser. I will find a deal on one from a retailer soon enough to try out.

I've got a 1-4x Accupoint on my 460 Weatherby. It's held up just fine. It's a fairly common optic used on dangerous game rifles.

I've owned both the Credo and Ten-Mile versions. Had to send the Credo back after it failed to hold zero….BUT….it was also on top of a break-action smokeless muzzleloader which are known for wreaking havoc on scopes. The Ten-Mile (5-50x56) I had on a .300 Win Mag and it was GREAT! Trijicon scopes are hard to beat…..some of the most brilliant glass available and they're built like a tank.

I bought 5 of the 5-25 ten miles when they were on sale a few months ago. After I mounted 3 and 2 of them had issues holding zero and not tracking I sent them all back for a refund. Glass was not very good either. The arken 4-16 I have was much clearer. Very disappointed with trijicon. Was hoping they would be a better as I really liked the dimensions and power range of the scopes.
**** disappointing, I saw formid test the credo and ten mile on rokslide and they did awesome

That rokslide scope is all fine and dandy but remember it's a sample size of 1. Dosnt prove anything in my opinion. Stick with scopes that are proven time and time again.
This post is the first I'm hearing of any issues, they seem pretty solid from everything else I've heard, lol back down the rabbit hole I guess

Not necessarily. Heck, even some Nightforce scopes get sent in for repair due to malfunctions sometimes. Best anyone can do is make a decision based on "overall" performance reviews on optics within their budget and choose the one that fits required criteria…….and get out there and start shooting.

Had a Tenmile 5x25 on a Tikka 308 for a couple years now. +/-500 rounds. It dials true and returns to zero. It's been a dang good scope.

I have two and they have preformed great, both were Tenmiles. Would buy a Trijicon again.

I'm shooting all trijicon now, with nothing else even really appealing to me. They're a great hunting scope, that you can decently punch paper and shoot steel with. I've shot NF, Leupold, March, ZCO, Arken and probably some others. But the trijicon checks more boxes than all of them for me, and for hunting.
