Reviews & Ratings for AIM Sports Inc Recon Series 1.5-4x30 Tri Illuminated CQB Scope — 12 reviews — Page 1

I am putting this scope on a Henry Homesteader 9mm carbine. I especially like the profile and the fact that the mounting rings are picatinny. This will make it easy to mount a light if I choose. I mainly use it for varmits.

Awesome scope and for the money no one can go wrong with this one .

tried to zero more than once on a lead sled, wont hold zero on my 300 blackkout Ar. wouldnt reccommend for anything more than maybe a 22lr. now i have to ramble just to be able to post this review... why wont this just let me give a short to the point review

I so much wanted to like this scope and I was pleasantly surprised when to find that it didn't just have dual illumination but tri-illumination: red, green AND blue. It comes with a mount and diopter adjustment and the reticle is actually very crisp and clear. Obviously for $80 it isn't going to be the best glass so yeah there is a good amount of fish eye. I was just putting this on my S&W 15-22 anyway.

Unfortunately my field of view was filled with black specks. They were internal because I cleaned lenses to no avail. The front mounting screw was also sheared in half, lengthwise such that it would not fasten securely to a picatinny rail. And so it's going back. :(

The glass was ok and the mount decent. Unfortunately my illumination turret is VERY STIFF to turn, almost needing a tool. This made turning on/off the optic a pain - literally. Third time out the illumination failed completely and now its near useless.

Great scope for the money. It performs very well at 300 yards on my .556. I would recommend. The previous scope that I had was a good hundred dollars more and did not perform any better or any worse than this optic.

I’ve been looking for an inexpensive alternative to an ACOG, for training. I wouldn’t take this optic to war. But, with 4x magnification and arrow/chevron reticle, the AIM recon scope has a very similar sight picture to the ACOG. I was not expecting the quality and clarity of the glass at the price that I paid. And of course, most importantly, it holds a zero! Using 62 grain 5.56 ammo, I zeroed on a M16a2 zero target, at 25 yards. After it was zeroed, I took out to 200 and 300 yards. It consistently rings 8 inch steel at 300 yards. So far, I have put over 500 rds on target, with no issues.

I bought the scope for Airsoft games
I am very pleased . 4 - 5 Inch eye relief provides fast target acquisition,very clear and bright, keep settings.
Fog proof helped me in on a morning wet and shock-resistant housing helps me when careless hitting rifle on walls
I recommend.

Purchased this scope Mar 18, 2016; just mounted it to AR-style rifle. Mine is half-circle reticule. Has a BDC that is very small; ostensibly shows drop for 400, 500 and 600 yards. Mine came with two rail-top (and sides) upper rings, and one smooth-sided upper ring. I would have liked to have had a second smooth-sided upper ring; all that "tacticool" garbage just turns me off. Focuses easily. Zooms easily. Clicks on turrets are not entirely sharp and solid, but I assume will do the job. Scope is 30mm in diameter and will come out of the mount, allowing the mount to be used with a different scope if that should obtain in the future. Comes with flip-open covers for each end, but the rear on mine is very loose because I have the eyepiece screwed pretty far back to get the scope in focus. I advise getting a neoprene ScopeShield and dispensing with the covers. A-frame sight base shows until 3X; gone after that. Marked 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 and 4; no line against which to set, but not a problem. I expect this optic will work just fine. Bought mine at retail for $130, plus about 8% tax.

Good scope for the price. Fit an AR platform nicely. Reticle illumination is rather weak though, even with a new battery. OpticsPlanet is one of the best companies I have ever done business with! The locking turrets on this scope work well, and it is easy to and holds zero nicely. It might be a little too heavy for some peoples taste, but you cant beat it for the price...In my opinion anyway
