Very nice scope so far and for the price - TRYBE Optics 3-18x50mm HIPO Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane (FFP)

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 probably would have purchased the Trybe rings instead of the Vortex if they had gone on sale a few days sooner, but the Vortex was a lot cheaper when I placed my order.
