Nice for the price - SightMark Core TX 4x32 Rifle Scope

I'd decided that I really needed a magnified optic because of my nearsightedness and astigmatism. The Burris AR 332 and Vortex Spitfire 3X were on my list but I didn't want to spend over $200 and eye relief was a concern.

I had all but ordered the Nikon P-223 after reading reviews when I came across the Core TX 4x32 AR .223 scope: slightly higher magnification and an illuminated reticle.

Reticle illumination is red or green (not that bright but fine in dusk and other low light conditions; green is the brightest).

The reticle itself is a horseshoe with center dot and holdover lines that are clearly etched.

The provided rings are adequate and fairly lightweight and mounting the scope was straightforward.

I found the eye relief to be good with either my glasses or contacts. Sightmark claims 4" of eye relief but I would say closer to 3 - 3.5" after adjusting the mounting position on my AR to suit my preferences wearing either my glasses or contacts.

Zeroing was also straightforward and the 4X magnification made it much easier for my "not what it used to be" eyesight to hit targets past 100 yds.
