PF sent me one of these to check out. The view looks bright and clear, and the reticle illumination is very bright - you can change it from red to green to blue depending on what you prefer or to contrast with the background - and I really like the colors. I tried it in 2pm daylight and it was bright enough to see illumination against most backgrounds. In brighter light you would see the reticle as black.

I've never heard of this company. Is it along the lines of the Millet DMS and Leatherwood (Hi-Lux) CMR in quality (both longevity and optical clarity)?

Has anyone gotten one of these yet?

I assume they are made in China, right?

Thanks,

I've got one. No accuracy testing yet, but seems nice. The bullet drop is small but clear at 4x and indecipherable at 1.25x.

I got it from Woot. The brightness of all three colors is good.


I called the company with questions about included mount and ended up talking to one of the owners.

I've also got one, the glass in the scope is great and exceeded my expectations for an optic with such a low price point. I'll echo all of Pachary's comments as well. That said, having just been pig hunting in the dark of night, I wish their was a lower brightness setting for the lighted reticles. If you're doing daytime shooting though, it's ll be plenty bright to see in full daylight.

Frankly, for the price point I am astounded at how god this thing is.

i have the RR Evolution 5.56/7.62 on my savage 10 fcp-k.

it's a decent scope, the BDC gets you in the ballpark at the marked ranges. the R and G illuminations are decent, can't imagine any scenario useful for B illumination though. i would have preferred more R and G illumination range instead.

but i would really prefer a scope with just simple mil or moa subtensions for holdovers. something like vortex ebr-2c reticle is ideal.

rich,

offer a simple straight MIL or MOA reticle without BDC, lose the blue illumination, and you'd have a real winner.
