Incredible value - easiest way to see if you will like longer range shooting - Viridian OpticsPlanet Exclusive Lyxa 4-16x44mm Rifle Scope 1in Tube SFP

This scope is incredible for the price.
The glass is decent and more than good enough, build quality is good enough so far. It feels solid, well‑constructed, and a good optic for this price bracket.
If you can catch it on sale or stack an Optics Planet discount, it becomes an even better value.
The turrets are surprisingly nice with positive clicks and a consistent feel, and visually, the scope looks fantastic — clean, sharp, and more premium than its cost suggests.
flip caps included.

One downside: the focus does require a bit more adjustment as you move through the magnification range. It’s not a huge deal, just something you notice when jumping from low to high power quickly. For the price, though, it’s well worth the minor inconvenience.

Overall, this scope delivers a great mix of affordability, build quality, and performance. Very impressed with what Viridian packed into this optic at this price point.

NOTE - haven't been able to shoot it yet, I will try to update the review once i have taken it out and ensured it will hold zero under recoil. It is mounted on a 7MM Rem Mag
