You get what you pay for - Firefield RapidStrike 1-6x24 Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane

it was recommended by an instructor where I attend firearms training. It's my first optic on my first ar15, so I went cheap to see how it worked for me.
All in all, it was a successful experiment.
It is much better than iron sights as my vision was never good to start with and is getting worse with age. I am still getting used to the controls and so on.
Adjusting the illumination was a bit stiff, but really liked the option of 10 different intensities in either red or green. Like the chevron donut.
The illumination feature has failed after 8 months (yes, tried multiple new batteries).
I do believe I'm going to go to a better scope, vortex, primary, leopold, because I'm concerned about long term durability. going to keep it as a backup or maybe mount it on the mak90 I hardly ever shoot anymore.
