  • 2Arms, 2Arms....
Style: AHMR2 IR MOA
Okay to this very date (September 2023) this optic has been a true game changer on my item. I put it on myself with the proper tools, took it to the range & was Zeroed in with just 3 rounds @ 50 yards. Is it top notch...? No. Is it of very good quality...? Yes. Do I need the very best for my usage...? No. (I'm shooting a paper target!). If you're in the market for a really good optics & are not shooting @ 1K yards then this is a great option & product. If you're into competition you can actually benefit from this rifle scope, or you can go ahead & spend 5x the cost. I'm not a pro, nor do I pretend to be, but bottom line this scope is Niccccccce. The turrets lock in place perfectly, the illuminated radical is a total plus, & the glass is as clear as day. Why spend 3K when you can do the same thing for less & still have a great product. ... show more

  • Good budget SPR/DMR scope
Overall happy with this. There are not a lot of options in the 2-12 category, so there isn't a lot of competition. Glass quality is typical of Chinese glass. Chinese glass can be pretty decent these days, but it's still not on par with Japanese or Euro glass. If you've never looked through real premium glass, you'll probably love this. It's quite usable, good even, just not the best out there. This *is* a serious scope, unlike the cheaper no-name "amazon specials". Eye box at 2-4x is excellent at 2-4x, acceptable in the mid ranges, but I do find that it gets tight at 11-12x. This shouldnt be a huge problem, as you are probably shooting off stable position when at max magnification. Since this is a budget to mid-range scope, you should consider options like 2.5-10x, 4-12x, etc. Because those have lower multipliers the glass doesn't have to do as much work, and you may get a better image and eye box for similar money. If you are running an offset red dot alongside this, you may find you simply don't need the 2x. While the 2x *can* do short range work, it simply is not the same as having a true 1x. For that, you need either an offset/piggyback red dot, or an LPVO. Would be nice to see a couple less ounces, but this would probably require lots of expensive materials like titanium. Weight is OK, but you will notice it on there. ... show more

  • 2-12 Helos
Great scope. Quickly became a favorite scope. Great glass ( have Japanese and Shott glass in other scopes) and this is nearly equal. Can see hits clearly at 100 yrs and tracks accurately. Illumination is good too.

  • Punches up!
I own several low, mid and high end scopes. Some vortex Diamondback, viper and razors. An Athlon ARES ETR, ARES BTR, one night force ATACR among others. It has the best reticle of any scope I own, very functional. The parallax knob is the easiest and smoothest to turn of all of them. Zoom range is perfect for engaging out to 500 meters maybe further for better shooters. I put this on a Christensen CA15 and I’d like to buy another for one of my hunting rifles. The turrets have solid clicks, fairly close to the feel of the ATACR and ARES ETR. Not quite as audible but very good feedback with no slop. If I’m nitpicking there is a little slop in the turret cap. Glass is clear, not on the level of the Ares or ATACR and that should be expected for a scope that cost 1/3 or 1/4 off the cost. I can make out impacts in shoot and see targets out to 200+ meters, nearly 300 on clear days. For this price the scope can’t be beat. Superior to every other scope I own in this price range and some of the features in higher priced ones I own too. The center dot on the MIL version is the way to go! ... show more

  • Excellent scope for the money!
Style: AHMR2 IR MOA
Had an issue with shipping- first scope ordered was lost, Amazon took care of it! Scope is fantastic value! If you've got a .223/5.56 or .308 and want something with a quick and easy to use reticle, get one of these!

  • FFP
Style: AHMR2 IR MOA
The FFP retical at 2X is just to small for me to run fast up close and not enough brightness to compensate for it

  • Old used item
Imagine my disappointment when it was instantly obvious that I was shipped a used or possibly a display model. I have scope boxes almost 15 years old that still look new, this one is rough. Corresponding scratches top & bottom of tube from being mounted. No cr2032 battery in the box. This has been finger banged previously, that creates doubt in this particular scope, who knows how it's been treated. I buy anything new, I should be the first to finger bang it, that's what I played for. If it had been advertised as used/ display, that would be different. It's sold as "new", I will be either returning for an actual new one, or looking to receive a partial refund. Camera on my kindle isn't good enough to focus in on the tube scratches. I can with my iphone, but am having trouble trying to get to transfer. ... show more
