Features that Enhance Functionality
Customize Your View
A side adjustable rheostat allows the user to quickly adjust the color and brightness of the Mil-Dot reticle. Adjust the reticle to green for easier targeting in bright atmosphere. Select the red reticle when targeting in lowlight or indoor situations.
Glare Reduction
A built-in angled sunshade helps minimize glare on the objective lens, which in turn provides a clearer view to the user. This sunshade also works to reduce scope glint when targeting in sunny atmosphere.
Locked In
External windage and elevation turrets allow the user to quickly adjust the impact point without needing to remove turret caps. Tighten the collar around the turret to ensure the turret is locked in order to prevent any unintentional adjustments.
Covers
Two flip-up scope caps help prevent dust buildup and moisture on the lenses during storage and transport. These covers quickly open at the touch of a thumb, and can be accessed ambidextrously.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

The scope features crisp, clear optics, a solid build that holds up to abuse, and is particularly well-suited for AR-15s.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2017Style: 1-4x28Verified PurchaseI was very surprised with the quality and clarity of the glass used on the scope. I was looking for a budget scope to complete my 1st AR pistol build and to my surprise this scope exceeded my expectations. Very affordable, fully functional, and holds zero. I put 540 rounds through my pistol with-it so far and the mount stayed in place. I was expecting to have to use lock tite, but didn't have to as yet. I check on it every 200 rounds or so and it's still as tight as the 1st day I've put it on. There are holes in the mounting nuts which allow you to use an Allen wrench for extra leverage when mountain it to your rail (I will include a picture). The brightest setting the illuminated reticle is not as bright as my Vortex red dot & the front lens cap does not stay on snug, but for this price, and features like anti fog, Waterproof, shock proof, & lifetime warranty... I can't complain! There are optic mounts on the market alone that go for $70-$90...I will try to include a picture of my shot grouping from a range day. This is by no means a precision scope and there are other factors to consider as well. For ex: This is mounted on a 10.5" AR pistol, using cheap Wolf ammo, distance of 100 yards, and me being an amateur "rifleman" and also being new to the AR platform, all will have an effect on accuracy, but long story short I was able to put a full magazine on paper in a 6" diameter. 3-4 shots is somewhere around a 2" group @ 100 yards. I'm sure an experienced shooter can-do much better but I am very pleased with my new scope!

- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2016Style: 1-4x28Verified PurchaseFinally got to the range yesterday and was able to zero in my scope with no problems. Like the locking feature on the elevation and windage knobs. Quick adjustments and had it hitting nice groupings at 50 and 100 yards in no time. As many have said, this scope is just as advertised. Good clear optics and functions nicely. The one important thing to remember is using Loctite on the screws for the scope rings as well as the mount. I've run about 80 rounds through my AR with this scope on. I did apply loctite to the scope rings, but forgot the mount screws which I only tightened hand tight. After about 20 rounds, the mount fasteners were coming loose. Just a dab of loctite on those and it will be fine. If you're older like me, you'll need to take the cover off the rear optic so you can adjust the focus (no way to do that with the cover installed). The 1-4 zoom was perfect for what I wanted. At mag of 1, you can quickly sight almost as well as a red dot, but at 4x, you can see out to 100 yards no problem and place nice clean groupings. Well worth the money. I only gave it 4 out of 5 due to the poor mount design. I think they could easily improve that to something more positive and perhaps even put a locking feature on the threads to prevent it from backing off. Otherwise, great little scope and I'm very happy with it. MUCH better than the "do everything 3 in 1" scope I paid less for, but was total garbage. Returned that one and got this one and am MUCH happier! You get what you pay for, but for the price, this one fits the bill!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2014Style: 1-4x28Verified PurchaseI am one of those that research and research before I buy something like this. Not only on Amazon, but multiple other sites as well. This is one of those products that fall in to the realm of either a really great review or really poor... and the majority of them are based on emotion which leave those of us basing (at least to some extent) our purchases upon reveiws of those that went before us wondering why we suffered through all of the comments. Anyway, I will attempt an objective review:
This scope has all of the features I was looking for: variable 1 - 4, Mil Dot, and of this genearal size. I mounted it on an AR flat top and the only surprise was that I have to mount it further back than I really would like, although not a show-stopper. The eye relief is relatively short when adjusted to full zoom: thus the need to mount further back on the upper. Even with a 1" riser and provided ring mount, it cannot quite clear the BUIS (Arms 40L). That bothered me at first, but I got over it. I only need remove the scope to employ the BUIS. This also has the green and red illuminated reticle, but to be honest, I have yet to even install the battery. The black reticle is what I am used to seeing and is very visible in all lighting conditions I have experienced so far. The optics are clear and crisp, and all of my outings have been consistent since the intial zero.
The scope is $133 and for that price, I am very happy with my purchase. I am out to have fun punching holes in tagets and challenging myself and not out to "clear" rooms or pretend to be a sniper. For the money, I found this scope to be well worth the investment and it makes my day out shooting more fun. And yes, it looks cool too and therefore impresses my grandkids which is also worth the investment!
Highly reccommend this scope.

5.0 out of 5 stars If only it had bigger eye relief. But can't beat it for price
Style: ModernVerified PurchaseNever like anything under 40mm, but it is what it is. Was looking for a set 3x or 4x that wasn't massively large, and this fits the bill.
- Amazon CustomerReviewed in Canada on December 3, 2016
5.0 out of 5 stars Great scope for the price
Style: 1-4x28Verified PurchaseAfter reading all the reviews I decided to try this scope out. Delivery was super fast, scope is exactly as advertised and works great. Had to loosen the tube mounts to straighten the rectile but that's no big deal. Nice and clear, all illumination levels work flawlessly and quite pleased with this purchase as Amazon had it cheaper than everywhere else I looked. The
Scope can be used even if the batteries are dead which is a huge bonus.The only negative is it's got a little weight to it but for what you get that wasnt enough to warrant losing a star, now it's not a top level scope but if you expect a top level scope for this price your off your rocker and need professional help.
- S.D.105Reviewed in Canada on October 16, 2016
4.0 out of 5 stars Great Price on Amazon, Good optics - Just not 1x
Style: 1-4x28Verified PurchaseAs other reviews say, it's not a true 1x, more like 1.5 or something like that.
It is working fine on my Su-16 (200 rounds later still true).
The cantilever mount allows for easy barrel removal without taking the scope off (common issue with the Keltec).
Would recommend. The price was much better on Amazon, then I could find in any retail store.
