I ran into the sightmark scope by chance a couple of years ago. I don't know why this isn't a more popular scope. It is durable, nice looking and the glass is as good as any manufacturer out there and for a 3rd of the cost. Awesome!

this is a very nice scope for $200. when i first look through i was very impress at the quality of the glass. plus its green and red illumination reticle. but don't expect to be as good as the higher end like leupold! once zoom in all the way it is as not clear, for the price and bells and whistle. it rocks!

Pros:  Clear optics, accurate reticle, keeps zero, positive clicks and locking turrets.
Cons:  Length, eye placement at high magnification.
Would recommend:  yes

A lot of scope for the money. It's an ok entry-level scope for cheap long range shooting. It's 16,5" long and not light weight, so it'll add weight and heft to your rifle. Optics are clear and reticle is good mildot, but 25x magnification isn't very useful as it gets a little blurry vand very picky about eye placement. At the price, I'd still recommend this scope if you don't mind the cons.

Pros:  My AR-15 can hit a 4-5" group at 300 yards and I'm not a good shot
Cons:  it is a large scope so I'm looking to change to quick detachable mounts for transport or get a large Pelican case that i will have a cutout for the gun.
Would recommend:  yes

Love the sight easy to sight in and has the ability to light up the sights in red or green for fog or those longer shots. This isn't for the everyday AR-15 but if you want to make tight groupings at 300-800 yards this is the sight for you...
