110 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other optics: binoculars, telescopes, spotting scopes, rifle and hunting scopes, rangefinders, night vision and monoculars we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['The Trijicon CR624-C-2900016 covers 1x to 6x magnification on a 24mm objective lens. At 1x the scope can be used with both eyes open for close work, and at 6x it handles moderate precision distances well. Trijicon uses aluminum construction and a Picatinny mount in this configuration.', 'The segmented circle with BDC reticle in green illumination is the distinguishing feature here. The segmented circle frames the target quickly at 1x, and the BDC marks provide drop references at higher magnification. Green illumination tends to be easier on the eye in bright daylight compared to red illumination. Field of view at 1x is 21.4 degrees, which is wide and confirms useful situational awareness at the low end.', "At $959.99, this scope carries a premium price for the 1-6x class. The 110-review sample with a 4.7 average is well above average for this price tier and gives buyers strong evidence of consistent satisfaction. Trijicon's track record in optics supports the price point."]

Performance notes
At 1x magnification, the 24mm objective gives a theoretical exit pupil of 24mm, confirming a full, bright image at the lowest setting. At 6x, exit pupil is 4mm, which is workable in standard daylight. The 21.4-degree field of view at 1x converts to approximately 112 feet at 100 yards, which is wide for a variable scope and confirms the design priority for close-range target acquisition. The BDC marks in the reticle are calibrated for specific cartridge trajectories; Trijicon publishes ballistic data to match. Weight is listed at 18.9 lb, which likely reflects a data entry issue and the actual scope weight should be confirmed with Trijicon.
What buyers say
With 110 reviews and a 4.7 rating, buyer sentiment is among the strongest in the 1-6x category at this price range. A double-digit review count with a sub-5.0 average typically reflects genuine field experience rather than a small cluster of enthusiastic initial buyers. The data points to a scope that consistently delivers on its specifications.

Frequently asked questions
What does the segmented circle BDC reticle look like and how does it function?
The segmented circle is a ring around the center of the reticle with gaps at the top, sides, and bottom that allow the center to be seen clearly. At 1x, the circle helps frame the target quickly without obscuring it. At higher magnification, BDC marks below the center crosshair provide hold-over references for distances beyond point-blank range. Trijicon provides ballistic tables to calibrate which BDC mark matches specific distances for common cartridges.
Is the Trijicon CR624 a first or second focal plane scope?
The listing does not specify focal plane position, and Trijicon offers both configurations in their lineup. On a second focal plane scope, the reticle subtensions are only accurate at the maximum magnification setting. On a first focal plane, they scale correctly at all power settings. Confirming this detail with the seller or Trijicon directly before purchase is worth doing if BDC accuracy across the full magnification range matters to you.
How does the Trijicon CR624 compare to other 1-6x scopes in its price range?
At $959.99, the CR624 is priced above most mass-market 1-6x options and sits near the lower end of premium LPVO pricing. Its advantages are the Trijicon brand's optical quality standard, the green-illuminated BDC reticle, and the well-validated 4.7 rating from 110 buyers. Competing options at lower prices trade some optical quality and reticle sophistication for savings. Buyers who want the Trijicon standard in a 1-6x format will find this a reasonable entry point into the brand.
