Yeah. I do both, depending on the situation. The biggest benefit is for followup shots and self-spotting.
The credo looks super interesting. I can swing 3oz cause its still 10oz lighter than my current scope.

I was interested enough in the Credo HX to buy the 2.5-15 x 42mm model. I've only begun using it for load development, but like it enough that if I were to find another for the same price I'd probably buy it.
The glass is good, knobs are good (feedback is not great, but good enough), durability should be good, reticle is basic but functional, return to zero works well, etc. I've really got nothing bad to say about it.
For use on a precision rifle, I prefer FFP, but on a general purpose/hunting rifle I don't. The Trijicon currently lives on a 6.5 Grendel, but it'll likely get moved to a 6.5 CM light-ish weight bolt gun (after I buy said gun).
I've checked out the Razor HD LHT, but that 3.5 oz reduction comes with a price of $500. I don't choose optics based on one specification, like weight.
It’s definitely not one I’d choose for a MK12.
I demoed the Tenmile line. Everything was sexy AF about them, except the parallax was too exacting to lock in, and were mushy.
So the credo and athelon 2-12 are the only ones Id trade my mpo for. PA reticle options are unacceptable
The nx8 is almost as heavy and the image quality is barely better- not worth the upgrade in price
Pst im paying $300 for 5oz, not worth it for me.
If i was starting over Id go credo, but the MPO served its purpose as a LR trainer. Ill probably throw it back on the 223 once i upgrade my bolt rifles scope and just deal with the weight. Image is acceptable (nx8-is) for 700-1k and reticle is fantastic.
