The Mrad Turrets - Mrad/MOA reticle model discontinued. New totally different scope may ship instead

Written on Mar 26, 2019

I bought one of these specifically for the Mrad Turrets - Mrad/Moa Reticle (green).
I received the new model in the old box.
The new model is Moa Turrets and Moa Reticle with thick cross hairs you would expect to find on a FFP scope, not a SFP.
Check out the HR2 reticle on Hi-Lux's website and email them for the updated manual.
I sent this scope back to optics planet.
I refuse to participate in their "early access" / "beta" program. It devalues my "generation" of the scope, prevents me from outfitting rifles in the future with the same scope/system, and may cause issues for future repair work the scope may need.
Hearsay is that the scope may be getting "zero stop" and "locking turrets" down the road in the next generation.
I don't recommend buying any of the Pentalux scopes until they are a fully fleshed out mature product that will be around for a long time.

Discontinued - "Early Access/ Beta " Product

Written on Mar 25, 2019

The Model with Mrad Turrets and the Mrad/Moa combo reticle has been discontinued and replaced with a totally different scope.
Little did I know I was participating in an "early access / beta" program.
I recently tried to buy additional Pentalux scopes for other rifles; wanting to keep the turret/reticle system the same across rifles.
Since this is no longer possible; I have ordered several scopes from another brand to keep the system the same across rifles and plan to sell the Pentalux scope.

The new model btw; has MOA turrets and a MOA reticle with thick cross hairs that look like they would be better suited to a FFP scope.
Not knowing if Hi-Lux will discontinue the new model like they did the old model; I do not recommend buying any of their Pentalux scopes until they are fully fleshed out into a mature products that will be around for awhile.

Well built; but you have to figure out the per click MOA and BDC Drum values for your gun.

Written on Mar 25, 2019

I bought 6 of these. All required the elevation index to be reset (1.5mm hex key required). 3 would barely bottom out at 6/3 but not fully. 3 bottomed out 1 click away from reaching 6/3. In my case, I adjusted the index to allow me to go 6 clicks below 6/3 for a 200 yard small peep site index.

The BDC yardages on the elevation drum won't match your rifle; so you will have make notes or put your own marks on the drum to match your rifles trajectory and moa click values.

There are 69 clicks of elevation. One complete turn of the knob is 24 clicks.
There are 81 clicks of windage. One complete turn of the knob is 10 clicks.

My setup:
16"BBL Midlength A2 Front Sight/gas block
Sight mounted flush with rear of upper receiver.
Sight Radius = 17.25" (peep sight to front sight post)

My MOA calculations for my setup and other setups:

Elevation
~0.50 MOA per click with a 12.4" sight radius
~0.43 MOA per click with a 14.5" sight radius
~0.41 MOA per click with a 15.25" sight radius (Carbine A2 Front Sight)
~0.36 MOA per click with a 17.25" sight radius (Midlength A2 Front Sight)

Windage
~0.76 MOA per click with a 12.4" sight radius
~0.65 MOA per click with a 14.5" sight radius
~0.62 MOA per click with a 15.25" sight radius (Carbine A2 Front Sight)
~0.55 MOA per click with a 17.25" sight radius (Midlength A2 Front Sight)

Spreadsheet formula:
Elev Click MOA = (DEGREES(ATAN(0.0018044618/Sight_Radius)))*60
Wind Click MOA = (DEGREES(ATAN(0.0027559055/Sight_Radius)

2° Azimuth Scale is defective

Written on Feb 16, 2018

The azimuth ring looks like it was printed using a low resolution dot matrix printer. Markings are crooked and not evenly spaced at 2° intervals. Numbers are not clear.

It also has an air bubble inside the compass.

I haven't decided if I want to pursue a replacement or go with another brand yet.
