First focal plane without breaking the bank - Atibal XP6 Mirage 1-6x24mm Rifle Scope w/ Rapid View Lever, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane

If you are looking for something to compete with a Kahles or Schmidt or ...insert 2000 dollar optic here... then keep looking. That is not what this is.

It is however a very well put together optic that has surprisingly good clarity, not just in the price point but compared to optics that cost twice as much. This was my second Atibal product, my first being a dot, and I ordered it on PreOrder from them. I do not regret the decision. I would liken the quality to that of the Vortex Viper as far as build quality goes. The glass in the Vortex probably gets the nod, but then again, this is First focal plane, the vortex is second.

The only negatives I have to say on this optic is that there is not a couple of different reticle options, and the reticle is not quite daylight bright, that is it. It is affordable, it is built well, it has a lifetime warranty, and it is good clear glass. The illumination works fine outdoors if firing at a wooded area or something though, I just think it would wash out against a bright target or in brighter areas without tree cover. I would also note that Atibal states this as well, they do not claim it to be used as a red dot, I am just saying it would be nice if it could be.

Only thing left to see is how well it holds up over time. If it is anything like their red dot, I don't see any problems with this test either.
