Won't help anyone, but I ordered a 'like new' Leupold freedom scope from amazon. $200 instead of the $300 list. Condition was excellent - if you see an amazon-sold used scope I'd say go for it.

Just a note on the Credo HX for those lusting after a VCOG, but don't want to go the $1,800. The Credo compares favorably to the VCGO, same reticle (but with both red and green illumination), basically same glass. The major difference is the VCOG is designed for military use: AA batteries instead of CR2032, capped turrets with NO markings (once zeroed you don't touch the turrets) vs exposed turrets resettable to zero, built-in mount and a bit lighter. Since I hope to never have to use the scope in combat, I think the Credo is the better of the two.Closeout on Trijicon Credo HX 1-8x28 FFP w/ Red/Green MOA Segmented Circle at eurooptic.

I have its predecessor, the Trijicon 1-8x28 AccuPower (same optics, but with only red illumination). Paid $1099 when its was on closeout 5 years ago when it was being replaced by the Credo. It is by far the best LPVO I own. Fantastic glass and a true 1X that allows you to use it as a prism red dot if you want. Plus, with the Trijicon mount, it perfectly co-witnesses with the popup iron sights on a SCAR 17.

What is wrong with it?
Lithium batteries should last a good long time. Years not months. You might be better served buying a different unit.
Yeah, if I bought something and it did not live up to expectations, my first reaction would NOT be to get another as a replacement.

Mt favorite is when im at the range shooting next to someone with their $800 aimpoint and me with my $99 primary arms shooting identical groups as they are. Im 5"5 (230)lbs. If shit ever goes down, my cardio will fail me long before my red dot will.

At 3 yards it does not make much of a difference lol.
I’m expecting to last more that 5 minutes

First one I bought was maybe 5 years ago in my 16" 7.62x54r vepr and its been fantastic. Few thousand rounds later still fine as is the red dots ive put on my other rifles. If it makes you sleep better at night to spend more, have at it. Ill use the extra money to keep stacking ammo.

Light says
2. Error LED
Illuminates Red if reverse polarity is detected, or blinks “On” and “Off” when the internal battery temperature is too high.
Wasn’t hot and wasn’t reversed as it wasn’t even hooked up.
Strange one

I actually do some real training and a lot of actual competitions.
(That’s not a dig on you I promise)
So I can justify the added expense.
I want stuff that I can trust. I cheaped out a long time ago and learned due to some failures, buy once, cry once.
You do what is right for you.

Indeed. If i was doing comps and more rugged training I would without a doubt buy something that is proven to be more durable. My stuff isn't getting banged around so its not a big deal for me.I actually do some real training and a lot of actual competitions.

Noco usually has good reviews and a decent rep. Sorry to hear you got a bad one.

Home Depot has 2 Husky 1200 lumen rated rechargable flashlights on sale for $20. Normally $35 each. I know these are pedestrian for the real flashlight heads but probably decent for the average person. Have to add 2 to see the discount.

Their warranty policy is buy another and swap it. I think that is everyone’s policy now (even if THEY don’t think it is). Warranties are for women and people with ‘morals’.
“Would you like to buy an extended warranty sir?”
“No. As a matter of fact, I don’t even want the regular warranty thank you very much. Deduct that from my bill please.”

For $28, you might as well buy two pair.
Not a bad deal...
