Masterful optic - Swampfox Arrowhead LPVO 1-8x24mm LPVO Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

This is a true duty grade optic. Phenomenal quality for the money, crystal clear glass all the way across, and a true 1x, unlike Vortex and Primary Arms. The illumination is perfect, and has off-positions after every level. The reticule is simple but has what you need and is not too busy. This is superior in every respect to Vortex and PA, unless you want to get a $1200 Vortex which at best will be marginally better. The eye box gets really small on 8x and you have to look just right, so a 10x is probably too much. You'll pay a couple hundred more than Vortex and PA but you get more than your money out of it.

Only con is the wieght.
