Bradley from United States, NC Public Profile

This is a great scope that checks many of the boxes you are looking for. Great glass, daylight bright reticle, good field of view, good eye relief/eye box, relatively light weight. Only thing that is really holding this scope back is the reticle. I really wish Trijicon would make a MRAD version of this scope. The elevation line is rather thick and the hold overs lines are not that wide which makes using this scope at range challenging. If you have even a slight wind, you will find yourself lacking a reference point to hold off of and tend to just estimate where the wind is pushing the projectile. Since the hold over lines are not very pronounced, it is also difficult to see them in low light or if you are shooting at a target in the shadows. It is very easy to lose the BDC entirely in these conditions. Because the glass quality is very good, you will have no issue will collecting enough light to see the target, but the issue becomes simply finding the correct hold over line. It is better to think of this scope as a variable power red dot.

Another issue for the reticle is the BDC calculations themselves. I believe this is set for 223 Remington and not 556 Nato. This BDC lines up exactly with my 12.3 shooting 556. Shooting 556 out of my 16 inch, I use the 600 yard hold over for targets located at the 700 yard mark. You should still confirm hold over for all BDC reticles, but I am guess since this scope is advertised as a "hunting" optic, Trijicon aligned it with 223 instead.

This scope is an amazing scope. For a sub 1k scope, I think it is currently the best on the market for what I want from a LPVO. FYI, I got the FFP Red Segmented Circle. By far the biggest con of this scope is the brightness. It is not near as dim as most scopes on the market, but it is not daylight bright (not red dot bright). It is daylight visible. On max brightness in the middle of the day, you can see the illumination, but it is just not quite bright enough to act as a red dot (The green reticle is no where near as bright as the red. IMO, do not even consider getting the green). The segment circle works really well within 25 yards for quick target acquisition. The fine reticle lines make precision shooting very easy unlike other 1-6,1-8 scopes on the market. I use an offset red dot for up close shooting so it being not quite daylight bright is not a huge issue.

The glass quality is amazing especially given the price. The glass is better than many scopes in the $1250-$2000 price range. Very little distortion around the edges. The eye box and eye relief are really good. Not as good as scopes like the TR24, but way better than the Nightforce NX8.

Because of the included zoom lever nob, you do not need to buy a scope throw lever. There are a few mounting places for it and you screw it into the zoom lever where you would prefer. This allows you to have the throw lever go from the 8 o'clock to the 2 o'clock position. Even with an offset red dot mounted right inline with the z
