john's Review of Shepherd Scopes Rugged Series R-MIL Illuminated 1-8x24mm Rifle Scope

I was looking for an AR-15 Tactical type of scope for one of my purpose built IPSC 3 gun rigs.I am a believer in high quality scopes but do a massive amount of research to find the real values rather than pay extra for the highly advertised brands and models.I found just enough on the Shepherd scopes to make me curious,American glass,German mechanical's and Japanese scope tubes " per Shot Show 2018".Being that I am an AR fanatic,I have 3 Bushnell 4200 1.25-4s with Japan glass and 2 bushnell 6500s with Japan glass and 2 Zeiss scopes with German Glass!I ordered the Shepherd 1-8x24mm W/30mm tube Rugged series from the excellent Optics planet site.When I opened the box,I found a build quality that Carl Zeiss would be proud of.I am struck with the design cleverness,the amazing amount of light and the shocking quality of the crystal clear glass!The feel of the controls was like N...T F...e. After sighting in the scope,I was able to enjoy the Red and Green illumination which is Daylight bright"Maui Hawaii"at noon.The reticle is amazing and the Ranging is perfect!Buy this scope if you want a $1,000.00++ scope but don't mind the under the radar Brand "for now"!!!
