Redfield Revolution 2-7 on one, Aimpoint PRO on the other. The Redfield Revolution series are made in the Leupold plant and might even have Leupold glass in them.

Aimpoint Comp M4s on one and a Bushnell AR Optics1-4X24 on the other one. The one with the Aimpoint is my house gun and also has a suppressor on it.

I use an Eotech 512 on my 300blkout. I shoot supers to 300yards and mansized target and out to 100 yards with subs mostly.

I had an Aimpoint H-1 Micro but switched it off for an SWFA SS Classic 1-4x24 - similar to the Viper PST, different reticle and a little less expensive but still pretty nice quality. The Aimpoint is now on a 5.56mm rifle.

I love the Aimpoints but IMO if you're ever going to shoot at anything over 100 yards subsonics really need a mil-dot or moa marked reticle or marked turrets or something other than just trying to guesstimate 46" of holdover. For a 5.56mm the holdover is a lot more reasonable at any range at which I'm going to be shooting. The magnification is also nice even at 100 yards.

How does the 24mm objective lens in the Vortex Viper PST 1-4 scope perform in low light conditions?

i tend to favor 3-9x40 or 4-12x40 on my rifles.
