While the industry has mastered the 1X part of the formula, it is forever working on pushing the number on the other side of the hashmark to keep pace with this pattern’s ever-increasing capabilities. Michigan-based Trijicon has pushed the envelope with its Credo line, now offering a compact unit capable of up to…
