Reviews & Ratings for Atibal OPMOD XP8 Mirage 1-8x24mm Exclusive Rifle Scope w/ Rapid View Lever, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP) — 16 reviews — Page 1

Bought this for my 6.5 Grendel, holds zero, not particularly a fan of the diamond reticle but it's accurate.

I have the FFP version(non OPMOD) and it's pretty nice as well. I took a chance on this hoping for an equally pleasant experience and so far so good, even though I haven't been rough with either yet to see how they hold up. The glass clarity is surprisingly good for a Chinese scope. I get fantastic image quality throughout the zoom range out to about 500ish yds and eye relief is great too. The turrets are nice and tactile with audible clicks.

THE BAD>>> The pictures of this are a bit deceiving. The lettering on mine is not white, but is etched on the battery cap, so mine is completely tan/brown. However, mine matches the pictures in the sense that there are no numerical markings/reference points on the scope. So you have no indication of what illumination setting you're on or what magnification because they've been painted over for the OPMOD run. These are not complete deal breakers for me as I plan to either be at 1x OR 8x at any given point without using the in between. There is no off setting between the illumination settings which is a bummer, but the knob can go from off to max brightness in 1 click(goes backwards without having to go through each setting). There is noticeable fisheye on mine at close ranges(under 10 yrds) and it's not a true 1x, but both of these are to be expected at this price point and origin. OP had this on sale at under $250, and it's a great value at that. If I were to buy again, I would opt for the black version.

If I could make changes to the ...

This is my 4th purchase of the Atibal Mirage. I own one other OPMOD and 2 of the black versions. All of these have been purchased while on sale and short of the really cheap units, this one is perfect. It punches well above its weight class! I've seen vids that decry the 1-10 units due to distortion at the highest power, but everyone seems happiest at this 8X power range. Ease of use for the Mirage is just right for me, sets to zero easily and holds that without issue. The diamond reticle around the 1/2MOA dot is especially comfortable for me.
The one complaint I have is specifically with the OPMOD version. When they painted the FDE color on it, they totally covered any and all indicators--1-8X power ring as well as the values of the illumination. Neither is critically important for me, but it does make it a bit disconcerting when hunting down your illumination level!!! As to the power ring, I typically go from 1X directly to 8X with that excellent post that is included, so not of critical importance in actual use.
All in all, this is a great unit for short-to-medium range optics. Watch for sales and pick it up as you are able. BTW, keep an eye out in DVOR as well, since those sales can be amazing!!!

Good price . Time will tell how it holds zero . Not one to abuse so not doing a torture test look good color is great matches my FDE

Sighted in easily and held zero on my SS Mini-14. I like the reticle which can be used without turning it on. I either lost the battery when opening or it didn’t come with one - make sure you have a CR2032 handy.

I was looking for an optic that would match the Magpul FDE cerakote that I have on my AR build and the color matches it 1 for 1. I've owned the XP8 both in FFP and SFP and have performed very well. Decent glass quality for the price but the durability is top notch and have not had a single issue with any of their optics over the years.

This scope has a ridiculous amount of fish eye. I’ve never experienced anything like it. On 1x when you look though the scope all I can notice if my front backup sight all distorted and mutilated of sorts. It’s hard for me to notice the reticle because my eyes automatically shift to look at all this weird stuff going on. This is by far my cheapest scope ranging from strike eagles all the way up to razor 1-10. I even hav an atibal 1-12 and it’s actually a decent optic but costs almost 4x more. I had high hopes for usability at this price point because even a 50$ red dot has purpose but it’s hard for me to give it any praise except the price. That being said the throw is decent except for a little squeak like it’s metal on metal casually rubbing together, the included lever is nice, the reticle is good and the brightness seems decent but the paint job is complete trash. Just easily sliding in my rings to get it leveled marring it. All in all if u want a cheap scope buy an sig or save a little more and buy a strike eagle or even a primary arms Slx. For 300$ you don’t want to feel like your looking through a fish bowl.

Well built Very solid scope, Crystal clear glass and radical, comes with caps and throw � worth ever penny � 10-11 power perfect for a bright day. Also works great in low light at 4-5 power, Packaged well showed up in two days with everything as shown. Just what i was after.

I choose this model to give the best results for my Ruger 10/22. I thought of prisms but want the use of lower magnification. The 8x setting really reaches out there. Very good quality of glass and durability. I was pleased with the discount price for desert tan color. Better than a red dot for me. Great eye relief and the quick throw lever comes in handy. I strongly recommend this scope.
