Great initial impression - Shepherd Scopes Rugged Series R-MIL Illuminated 1-8x24mm Rifle Scope

This scope from the unboxing seems awesome. Reticle is day light bright in both red or green. Turrets are tactical and precise. Flip caps provided appear good qaulity. If you are considering this scope just get it. It is better than a primary arms 1-8 or the vortex strike eagle 1-8. Glass is clear. Scope appears good qaulity. If you want a throw lever. The vortex strike eagle 1-6 throw lever fit perfectly. 1-8 magnification is perfect for the MSR style rifles. You could easily shoot this out to 1k yards or more using your scope reticle holdovers. Why spend $1200 plus on a night force 1-8 or trijicon 1-8.... Does this have night force glass?? Of course not... But there comes a point with rifle scope glass where you get to a point of diminishing returns.
