Trijicon’s New Credo HX Models Featuring Tool-less Adjusters

Trijicon®, Inc., manufacturer of Brilliant Aiming Solutions™ has expanded its popular Credo™ HX riflescope line with new models designed specifically for hunters. The new 2.5-10×56, 2.5-15×42, 2.5-15×56, and 4-16×50 scopes deliver rugged durability, exceptional clarity, and fast, precise aiming in any conditions.

Credo™ HX riflescopes feature LED-illuminated reticles with ten brightness settings—five red and five green—with an “off” position between each setting for quick access and efficient battery use. Each new model is built around a second focal plane design and is available with Trijicon’s BDC Hunter Holds reticle, offering rapid hold points for various distances. Elevation adjusters are tool-less, easy to set and feature rock-solid return-to-zero, while windage adjusters are capped for added protection. The premium quality adjusters are engineered to deliver crisp, repeatable ¼ MOA clicks, ensuring precision and reliability.

Built on a 30mm tube and offering up to 100 MOA of adjustment, each new Credo HX model features fully multi-coated, broadband anti-reflective glass that delivers excellent light transmission and edge-to-edge clarity. The result is true-to-life color, sharp detail, and zero distortion—especially valuable during early morning or late-evening hunts. Large objective lenses help increase exit pupil size, enhancing low-light performance even further.

A repositionable magnification lever allows shooters to adapt quickly to changing shooting positions and rifle configurations, while easy-grip controls provide fast, intuitive adjustments in the field.

Holosun’s New 507-PROMAX

Holosun has always approached pistol optics from a shooter’s point of view: start with the problems that show up on the clock and build hardware that quietly takes them off the table. The new 507-PROMAX is a direct expression of that mindset. It is built for high-tempo shooting where split times shrink, transitions get wider, and sight tracking becomes the deciding factor. With an enlarged window, a forward-leaning sunshade, and a purpose-built Performance Reticle System, the 507-PROMAX provides competitive and performance-driven shooters with more usable information in every presentation, without adding clutter or gimmicks.

Where most pistol optics require shooters to adapt their stage plan to a fixed reticle, the 507-PROMAX allows the reticle to adjust to the shooter. At the heart of the system is Holosun’s Performance Reticle System (PRS): a precise 2 MOA center dot anchored by selectable 8, 20, and 32 MOA circles in Red, Green, or Gold. That geometry isn’t decorative; each ring becomes a visual reference that serves a specific role. A 2 MOA circle helps the eye catch sight faster on the draw and stay locked through recoil. Intermediate 8- and 20-MOA circles give the shooter indexing tools for partials, awkward positions, or fast transitions across steel arrays. On demand, the optic can be set up as a clean dot, a coarse circle, or a layered reticle that matches the stage and the shooter’s style.

The housing and window work quietly in the background to support that reticle. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum, the 507-PROMAX maintains the durability shooters expect while carving out a noticeably broader sight picture than the previous 507COMP. The 0.91 × 0.67-inch window is framed by a forward-leaning sunshade that helps cut glare and preserve contrast on the reticle in inconsistent lighting, whether that’s bright outdoor bays, artificial indoor light, or mixed environments where the shooter moves from dark to light in a single run. Weighing in at just 1.55 ounces, the optic maintains a balanced feel on the slide. It sits on the familiar RMR footprint, maintaining compatibility with pistols already cut to that pattern.

Power and controls are built for people who’d rather spend their time shooting than babysitting an optic. Read more

Michigan NRC Meeting Tomorrow, Reports, Updates, and Goals

Tomorrow, January 14, at 9:30 a.m., the Michigan Natural Resources Commission is holding a meeting at Lansing Community College, West Campus, rooms M119-121, located at 5108 Cornerstone Drive in Lansing.

This meeting will cover various subjects and issues important to Michigan sportsmen, including deer management goals, elk season results, coyote hunting and trapping season, along with a public comment opportunity, and more.

View Agenda

The Commission must hear from us – the sportsmen – because the future of our hunting and fishing traditions depends on it. These vital resources are entrusted to the Commission’s care, and if we remain silent, others will shape the outcome. Animal rights extremists are ready to fill that void and dismantle the heritage we hold dear. We cannot allow that to happen in the Great Lakes State. Our voices matter, let’s make sure they’re heard.

There has never been a more crucial time in sportsmen’s history than now to be involved and engaged in protecting our way of life. Share this email with your family and friends. Urge them to join the fight with you and the Sportsmen’s Alliance. The extremists work tirelessly to erode our rights, values, and heritage, and we must work harder to ensure they are secure today and for the future.

DOI Issues Order to Expand Hunting and Fishing Access on Public Lands

Read and Share Alert Online

Expansion follows long-held position and decades of work by Sportsmen’s Alliance

Today, January 13, the U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) and Secretary Doug Burgum released Secretarial Order 3447 to expand hunting and fishing access on all federally managed public lands unless lawful exceptions exist. Among other things, the order directs DOI offices to identify and remove unnecessary regulatory or administrative barriers to hunting and fishing on DOI-managed lands and waters; expand access and opportunities where compatible with law, refuge purposes, park enabling statutes, reclamation area requirements, safety, and conservation needs; and improve coordination and regulatory alignment with state, tribal, and territorial wildlife agencies.

“Today’s order is a victory in the open-access battle the Sportsmen’s Alliance has been fighting for decades,” said Rob Sexton, Senior Vice President at the Sportsmen’s Alliance. “We have never wavered from our mission to shift the presumption of public lands to open for hunting and fishing, and our multiple successes across DOI’s land holdings show that. We welcome SO 3447, and we stand ready to ensure that its directives are carried out in future agency actions.” Read more
