Expert Review

Solid, dependable optic for hard field use, great glass

by Stevey GB, Gear Expert from TX, United States Written on June 7, 2023

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...

Most Helpful Positive Review 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.

Most Helpful Negative Review 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.

Bad scope great customer service

by T, from OK, United States Written on August 2, 2026

First scope the elevation stopped working on second one the windage won’t track allegedly they are sending me a third scope now to try. The customer service is great no questions asked for the exchange but at this point I’m about to give up and find something else.

Good scope with some caveats.

by drew, Verified Owner from MT, United States Written on April 15, 2026

The glass clarity is good, 7/10.
There is a very faint edge distortion, the black outline of the scope body is noticeable, its not one of thoese scopes with an edge to edge image.
The eyebox is ls alright, about the middle of the road.
The reticle is really where it could use something more/elese. You'll either love or hate the center aiming point, its a plus sign with no center, i like how it dosent upstruct the target.
The graduated hash marks aren't intuitive and need studied to understand what they do at all.

Pros:

Clarity
decent eye box

Cons:

reticle graduations strange

Nice and clear

by RickX, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on August 13, 2024

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.

TRYBE Optics 3-18x50mm HIPO Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane

by George Brown, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on May 23, 2024

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

Can't beat it at this price

by Hawkeye, from VA, United States Written on February 22, 2024

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

by Ralph, from PA, United States Written on February 5, 2024

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

by AnAvidCollector, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on January 31, 2024

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

TRYBE 3x18x50mm

by jpr, Verified Owner from MS, United States Written on January 31, 2024

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.
