Great scope for ar-15 - Atibal XP8 Mirage 1-8x24mm LPVO Rifle Scope w/ Rapid View Lever, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane

Mounted this to my PS AR15 with a Leapers 1-inch picatinny riser, and Leapers rings. I am very pleased with the design, optic quality, and features. Yes, it works without the illuminated reticle. Eye relief is very ideal for the AR platform, whether acquiring targets at close range, or long range with bipod. The throw lever is great and the illuminated reticle on/off brightness adjustment is very ideal, allowing you to operate it with your gun shouldered. Does it hold zero - yes. Elevation and windage adjustments are very true. No complaints.
