I found the razor on 1x more “red dot ish”
The image on the K6i is clear and flat but like I said - I get sucked into the dot for sone reason.
Don't know about "duty grade" relating to these but the price sure seems good.

Not sure how I managed to link to a Mini-14 stock.
Let's try again:

I'd pass on the CT scopes. I had the 1-5x version with that same reticle a while back. The FFP nature of the reticle made it terribly difficult to use on 1x. The illumination was not what I would call "daylight bright." After using at least 10 different LPVO scopes, I have decided that second focal plane reticles are what I vastly prefer in a LPVO.
I do really like my Trijicon Credo 1-6x with the segmented circle BDC reticle however. I did NOT like the Credo 1-4x though.
Curious on the difference or why you liked the 1-6 but not the 1-4?
I think it was this thread a ways back, but I would never trust a Crimson Trace scope for duty. I bought a 1x4 as a test bed. It was DOA. I seriously thought I was doing something wrong. Sent it back and got a new one, same issue. After the second one was also bad I decided to just get a refund.
I can’t answer for him, but I have both and like both credos. If money isn’t an issue, the 1-6 is better with very little increase in size and weight. I have the 1-6 in FFP, which is less forgiving at 1X, but provides a good reticle for ranging. It’s probably a little excessive for a patrol rifle, where a finer SFP reticle and simple, brighter dot illum would be desirable.
I got the 1-4, which is only available as SFP (makes sense), with the milling reticle as well. The middle portion of the reticle illuminates, not just the center dot. This may be distracting if you like a simple dot on 1X.
Both are brighter than my 1-8 ffp accupower and have excellent glads. Neither are super bright, but I’ve not run into a situation where they were inadequate.
I purchased them because they had a combination of features not offered elsewhere (or for the price). Most 1-4s are derpplex reticles or bdc, neither of which are as useful as a milrad reticle. If they did have a mil reticle, they had exposed turrets. For the 1-6, the FFP option combined with the light weight and reticle sold me. I’ve used the 1-8 FFP with good success hunting, but it’s a pig. The 1-6 FFP comes in lighter than the vortex viper pst gen 2, with better reticle and better glass.

The eyebox was much tighter on the 1-4x. I had them mounted in identical mounts on two rifles and compared back to back (both SFP). The 1-6x had a much better field of view as well. It was worth the extra expense and weight. I find that the illumination (at least on the segmented circle red reticle) is plenty bright enough. I can see it in full sunlight, and still see it when looking back towards a low angle sun. Since the entire circle and center dot light up, there is no need for "aimpoint bright" as the circle would wash out the sight picture. I liken the segmented circle to a LPVO "eo-tech" type sight picture.
Hmmm, I might have to try the 1-6. I have 2 of the 1-4 Accupowers both with the red segmented circle. The eye box is very generous but the illumination could stand to be a little better. If the 1-6 offers more than just more magnification, it’s gotta be quite a scope.
Thanks for the reply.
