This has the feel and appearance of a well made bag. My 2 concerns are that it is made in Pakistan, and the small foam bead filling is held in by a zipper with a velcro flap that will HOPEFULLY keep it from popping open and spilling the filling everywhere. With the original MSRP and the name, I thought that it would have had a more, reputable country of origin and more thought would have gone into the design. Time will tell on the durability, but from initial impressions, I would spend the $125(currently) on this. Shame on me for not asking questions before I bought, but hopefully my review helps someone.

When these came out, they were around 1k and revolutionary for the time. I never thought I'd get my hands on 1, but now I own 3. The unit is a bit dated, but it's SOLID. The pros are build quality and the glass clarity. The cons are no killflash included(I'm looking at aftermarket options atm). This does not accept any other RDS other than fast fire. This is because the battery from the prism can power the rds via the mount and regulating voltages for other brands of sights would be a nightmare. A pic rail would be nice, but apparently not thought of. The unit dies not have illumination memory. It defaults to red mid brightness when turned on. The adjustment is 1/2 moa on the 3x and 1/4 moa on the 5x. I feel the 3x should've had 1/4 as well because shooting is all about rounds on target. This unit is a little dated, but is VERY solid and at this price($313 atm), I'm getting more. PS--Made in Phillipines, aka Burris's mid tier optic manufacturers

I had purchased a few of these because it seemed like a good deal. Once they arrived, they felt good and solid in my hand. I took them to my local knife shop to put a better edge on them(as they have better equipment than I). They took all 3 back at the same time, brought all 3 back and refused to sharpen them. He stated that he believes there is something wrong with the heat treat on all 3. Skeptical of that kind of luck I took them to a blacksmith for his opinion. His conclusion was the same. I have reached out to Proelia several times with no response back(I have literally tried about 10 calls/emails). I guess I will just use and abuse like every other cheapo knife I have. I honestly expected a knife with a base price of over $100 to be better. I will avoid Proelia like the plague from here on

We've had this on my dad's rifle for a few years now and it's solid. The glass is EXCEPTIONALLY clear and everything on it works as it should. The throw lever is nice and threads in so it can be changed or removed if the user wishes. I had originally started using Vortex Strike Eagles for my budget LPVO's, but the glass and build quality of this scope has made me sell all my Vortexes and looking to replace with this. There are 2 things I would change on this scope. One, have an off setting between the illumination settings and remove the the outlaying marks in the reticle and just keep the main crosshairs and connecting hashmarks.

Let me start by saying that I am indeed an optics snob. I have Nightforce, Meopta, Steiner and various other Japanese made scopes. Looking through good optics is like eating good cooking. Once you do, it's difficult to stomach anything less. That said and out of the way, here we go.
I ordered this scope through Optics Planet(where you can expect to find plenty of other great reviews on this scope). Initial impressions are VERY good. The closest thing I can compare this to is my FFP Crimson Trace CTA2104 1-4x(made in Japan), so I'll do that.
-Edge to edge clarity- Both are very good with no real issues.
-Turrets- The CT has capped turrets which I prefer, but the this STRIIKER has locking turrets, so it makes up for it. The adjustments on the Atibal are more audible and feel more tactile than the CT. Both have the issue of not exactly lining up with the number/mark on the turret, but it's JUST ENOUGH to notice and you can definitely tell where you're at.
-Glass- This is where Atibal continues to impress me. This is my 2nd LPVO of theirs and both are easy on the eyes to look through. So much so that I sold all of my Vortex Strike Eagles and will be replacing them with Atibals. As far as comparison between the CT and the Atibal, I can't tell any real difference.
-Eyebox and Eye Relief- This is where the Atibal shines. On 1x, the Atibal has the eye relief of about 4(maybe slightly more) inches with it getting just a little tighter at the 4x. The CT has what appears to be a c
