That’s why I keep saying the Credo HX with hunter holds reticle is the only battery powered offering that is daylight bright. As in none of the other Accupower’s or Credo’s are.
It’s too good of a scope to get lost with the rest of them.

I just bought this one. $499. demo. Seems new in the box.
I liked the specs of the Credo but could not find a reticle I wanted in stock.
Euro Optic has great customer service. No, not affiliated.
Focus Camara ran that Razor sale a few months ago, and based on a phone conversation with their CS, I bet they will again.
Looked hard at the Delta Styker, @ 18.9oz I was intrigued, but the vortex warranty sealed the deal.
So is the gen 2 Viper PST daylight bright or not. I have gen 1 and it isn’t…. I’d like to upgrade to something that is.
Yes, it uses a fiber wire reticle like the Razor. The basic principle is that a fiber optic strand runs behind a more traditional wire reticle and it is exposed in the center, and the led shines into the fiber to make a bright dot. Off the top of my head, scopes that have this technology are as follows:
Leupold Firedot scopes
Trijicon Credo HX 1-6
Delta Stryker 1-6
Primary Arms SLx Nova 1-6
Steiner P4Xi 1-4
Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 1-6
Vortex Razor Gen II-e 1-6
There may be others.
The other way to get a daylight bright reticle illumination is through diffraction grating, which is very expensive and only done through one company. It's only available on scopes in the $2000 and up price tier and is how the Nightforce ATACR and Vortex Razor Gen III LPVOs get daylight bright with an etched reticle.
Looks like another good sale going on for the Vortex Razor at Focus Camera $1000 in case you missed the last one.
