Best value for the 1-8x lpvos - Atibal OPMOD XP8 Mirage 1-8x24mm Exclusive Rifle Scope w/ Rapid View Lever, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

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!!!
