Solid, dependable optic for hard field use, great glass
I have this HIPO 3-18x50 in the FDE version on my Remington R-25 in .308 Winchester. This gun has been to Alaska, Montana, and Oregon for various big game. I wanted to replace the optic with a 6x erector assembly in a 3-18 magnification range as it is mainly a hunting gun. 3x is fine on low end, and 18x is plenty on the high end for my use. I expect my maximum comfortable shot on an elk, for instance, would be maybe 400 yards or so if I was comfortable.
This optic is satisfyingly bright and has excellent edge to edge clarity. I've had second focal plane optics on this gun for previous hunts, but the FFP craze affected me and I rolled over. The reticle and the adjustments on this scope are both in MOA, and I've always found inches easier than MILs. Now my holdovers are accurate at any magnification, unlike SFP scopes.
This HIPO 3-18 has a large magnification dial and it's easy to use with gloved or frozen hands. An extension lever is included to help catch on things in the field, if you like. Helpful at the range, I guess. I Love the solid adjustments. The turrets feel crisp when adjusting and the POI moves where it's supposed to, every time, even on this big thing. Different loads were easy to zero by counting clicks. Dials are easily resettable to zero.
Solid, dependable optic choice for me on top of this semi-auto hunting gun, which is in effect, is a poor-man's version of Knight's SR25 and other variants used by military snipers worldwide.
This gun is not pretty no...

Excellent Optic
I do not write many reviews but I felt that I needed to for this scope. I have many Vortex Viper scopes and this glass is WAY clearer as well as the eye relief on this thing is crazy too. I will be buying another for my next build. It performs as well as scopes priced 3-4 times more expensive.

Trybe 3-18
For the price I judge this scope to be well worth the money.Extremely clear glass. I chose to return it because for me the reticle is to thin for hunting in timber. I'm sure it would be a great target scope.
Nice and clear
This scope is very nice and clear compares to other brands. If it comes with locking feature would be one of the top notch scope. So far so good on my pcp rifle. Will definitely purchase again.
Would recommend: Yes

TRYBE Optics 3-18x50mm HIPO Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane
I have several Much More Expensive Long Range side focus target scopes, and with the exception of not having an illuminated reticle, this Trybe HIPO first focal plane performs just as well as the more expensive brands. Most illuminated reticles don't perform very well in bright sunlight anyway, so unless you really need the fancier reticles for your style of shooting, this brand will definitely likely fill the bill for a fraction of the price.
Pros:
- Solid Construction, clear optics
Cons:
- No illuminated reticle
Best Used for:
- long range shooting
Would recommend: Yes

Can't beat it at this price
Really can't beat the versatility of the 3-18 range of this scope. Very clear throughout the magnification range,very effective reticle. This thing is built like a tank,punches way above it's price. Like it so much,I'm probably going to purchase the 6-24 version also.�

Trybe FFP 30mm tube, 3-18x50mm scope
What an impressive scope, and to catch on a "Blazin Deal" for what I did, just made me want to give it a try. FFP and 30mm tube, with a nice FDE coating, I can't brag enough about this scope. Mounted it this weekend, and put about a hundred rounds through the rifle. Only took about 5 rounds to get it sighted in, and the FFP made it so easy to watch through the glass. I have much more expensive glass, but this one is right up there, and may be my new Go-To scope to throw on rifle builds going forward. Try one, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent Scope at an Excellent price
Purchased this Trybe 3-18x50 scope in January for a .223 Wylde build. Never used a "Trybe" optic before so I kept my expectations low.. What a surprise when i received this scope and at first look i was impressed. 2nd focal plane zoom was crisp, the build looked solid and the clarity was impressive! I mounted and zeroed the optic easily and have enjoyed the sunshade and accessories that came in the package. I will definitely be purchasing another Trybe optic when the need arises! Do yourself a favor and get one. You too will be pleasantly surprised!
Pros:
- Good Build, Clear optics
Cons:
- None
Best Used for:
- target
- long range shooting
Would recommend: Yes

TRYBE 3x18x50mm
Very good quality for the money extremely clear , only issue I have noticed the zoom ring is a bit hard to twist other than that well worth the money. Compares well to other scopes I have that were much more expensive.

Very Nice Scope So Far and For the Price
can't beat this for under $300. FFP is nice and the eyebox is truly forgiving. Optics appear clear and it is easy to see through and get on target. The 3 - 18 magnification range is indeed good for a lot of different situations. I expect we will see more scopes with a 3 - 18 or 4 - 24 (6x) range of magnification. I like the wide 50 mm lens but this is neither a giant beast of a 56mm+ scope nor is it at all small. It is a pretty big scope and it mounted fine using 1.0 inch medium Vortex rings on a Evolution Gun Works Picatinny rail mount on a new Browning A-Bolt 3 in 6.5 Creedmoor. I think I could have lowered the scope a little bit and been fine with the 0.83 inch high "low" rings on this particular rifle, even though the 50 mm objective lens is large. 30 mm mounting rings and/or rail combinations are a little tricky to find for the AB3. I would have tried and preferred one-piece direct mounting but ended up with the rings and rail. My only wish is for a similar scope that doesn't cost $200 more with a lighted reticle. And I really like the attached flip-up lens caps so I don't drop them in the deer stand. The magnification knob is a bit hard to turn and could be improved with a handle. I have another Vortex scope with even harder to turn, so this one isn't that bad. I can't wait to get more time and get used to this new scope from Trybe. I'm deciding if I want to get another one for my .270 Winchester and if I'll be more of a Trybe fan than a Vortex fan. I pro...

Trybe 3-18 FFP
GREAT SCOPE! I purchased this scope for a Ruger custom shop 10/22 and after I realized the great quality you get for the price I purchased another one for a 300 Blackout and then a third for my brother in law as a Christmas present because he needed a scope on his hunting rifle which is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. this is the best quality you will find in the sub 500.00 dollar range in my opinion. I really like 3-18 magnification as it seems to hit the sweet spot for me. Trybe does offer these in a couple other magnification ranges which I have not yet tried. I typically like a capped windage turret and a zero stop elevation turret and I have scopes with these option but your paying well over 2 times the amount for those scopes. this scope is hard to beat for the price!
Pros:
- clear glass
- simple yet effective retical
- tactile turret adjustments
Cons:
- would like to see a capped windage turret
- would like to see a zero stop on the elevation turret
Best Used for:
- hunting and target shooting
Would recommend: Yes
