Steve from United States, UT Public Profile

Wanted to say upfront I saw some reviews on youtube and other places that this scope doesn't have a bump on the magnification ring or a throw lever but my scope come with both.

I got this scope so I could enjoy long range shooting with my AR and still do up close "tactical" Shooting with my friends without mounting a piggy back red dot. This scope delivers on that. First range session I had with it there was a 20 MPH full value wind and the optic was clear enough for me to spot my own misses at 550 yards and the reticle (I have the Mil-dot one) was clean and usable enough for me to hold the several mils off for wind and make hits. The turrets are also go and I like the zero stop. A few weeks later I went shooting with some friends at a 50 yard range doing drills and shooting with a vtac barricade. Most of my friends were running red dots with magnifiers but despite this I was still about middle of the pack for speed and hits.

A can only say 2 bad things about this optic. The first is that the illumination in terrible. Even on a cloudy day it is not bright enough on max setting. The reticle is good enough to use without illumination even at 2x. The other thing is that its heavy. But that come with the territory, just be aware.

This scope has done everything I asked of it and I'm happy with it.

The best thing i can say about these is that I forgot I was wearing them. I have used these on 3 range sessions now and after a three hour one my ears felt sore from them, but not any worse than wearing foam hearing protection. These really shine for getting a good check weld on a rifle for long range shooting. I highly recommend these for that application. The worst thing I can say is that I have accidentally snagged the wire between my check and the buttstock and pulled the buds loose at an inopportune moment that left my ears ringing. I intend to use a clip like the one you would use to hold an ID car on the front of your shirt to hold the loose cord behind my neck on my hat to see if that fixed that problem. Over all great product that I am glad I have.
