Best budget optic - Primary Arms SLx 1-8x24mm Illuminated Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

This optic is phenomenal!!! Are there better ones out there? Yes, but they cost about 3-4 times as more and are about 20%-30% better at best. This is the 4th PA ACSS scope I’ve oned and I couldn’t be happier. I first owned the 1-6x ACSS GEN2 and was very impressed with how it worked up close and up to 600 yards with my AR-15 77 gr SMK ammo. The 1-8x is very good at both close and extended midrange engagements with a semi-auto rifles. It is the ultimate budget scope for an AR RECCE style RIFLE. The glass is really good for the $$$ spent and at 8x is not bad as other reviews say. Add a limited lifetime warranty and this purchase is a no brainer. Really like the wolf gray scope color, however, don’t torture the finish since it tends to scratch rather easily. My next scope (really all my scopes) will be another Primary Arms optic.
