I bought this to replace the Vortex Optics SPARC a Primary Arms 3× Magnifier on my AR15. I've liked this style optic for quite some time and when I got my Tax Return it was game time. I own Vortex, I own Leupold, I own Bass Pros house brand Pursuit, and Primary Arms. When I saw this was FFP and had the throw down level... I had to give it a go.
The glass is very clean and loss of light through the optic is minimal. The etching is superb and doesn't warrant the illuminated recitle in the day light, or under the lights in a well illuminated indoor range.
The reticle doesn't bloom* when you crank it up to the fullest setting in daylight or in the low light conditions. Which is part of the reason I replaced my SPARC, it would bloom to the point the 2MOA dot would be nonexistent, it would just blind out the entire optic.
The first focal PLANE (FFP) is the only way to fly. On second focal plane (SFP) optics the optic must be set at its maximum power for the BDC to work properly. With a First Focal Plane the BDC grows and shrinks with the power magnification. So if you're on 1× or 4× the BDC is always accurate.
The RTZ (Return to Zero) turrets are awesome. VERY positive click, both physically tactile and audiable. RTZ means after you center the optic you can set the Turret Caps back to zero so it's true zero to you're rig. They're tight enough that they'll not rotate when you are moving the rig around but loose enough you do not need tools to turn them.
Over all this is the best optic for the price on the planet. $200.00 gets you FFP, and awesome Reticle clear glass and a lifetime warranty against defects.... Cannot be beat.
*Blooming is where the illuminated reticle/dot will appear to grow because the light is bouncing off the glass internally and you cannot get a true read on the dot itself.
