Ok, first of all if your reading this you're probably wondering how good a scope in the $80 to $100 range is, I know I was when I first saw this. The first thing I thought was how durable this scope would be and after somewhere around 60 rounds through my 308 savage 10 I haven't had any problems. Nothing loose, nothing cracked and no change in my zero. I know 60 rounds isn't enough to fully test this scope's durability but it's a good start considering my Savage's history with demolishing glass. (I will give you an update after some more field use).
I'm going to cover everything on the scope from front to back.
Flip up scope cap - I was actually pretty surprised with the caps you get. They're not butler creek quality but they're not bad.
Sunshade - not much to cover, it does what it's supposed to do and comes with a thread cover for the cap to lock onto.
Parallax - 10 to infinity. Turns easily enough and is accurate enough to roughly estimate ranges (give or take 10-15 yards) up to 150 yards.
Scope rings - They are 4 screw rings (2 on each side) and appear to be good quality, very sturdy. They are pretty tall rings but for that 50mm objective they may not be tall enough to get proper clearance depending on your rifle. The only reason it fits on my rifle is because of my barrel contour. If you have a bull barrel or anything over a 308 you might need a shim or even taller rings.
Windage and elevation knobs - These also appear to be good quality except there is some very slight slack in the clicks. The clicks themselves are decently positive and very audible. They are also ring-locking knobs, but you have to do some funky stuff to slip it back to zero when you sight it in (found in the manual).
Reticle and IR - the reticle is a standard mil-dot reticle but very crisp. The reticle illumination has 3 colors and 3 brightness settings per color controller by the knob on the left side. Red, green, and blue but the blue is almost useless because of how dark blue light is but it's cool that you get 3 to choose from anyways.
Magnification - 4 to 16 power. The knob doesn't turn as easily as one would hope but is very secure and has a little extended part that makes it easier to use with gloves on.
Eye relief - Its decent. Somewhere around 2.5 inches
Now this is the part of the scope that I was most worried about. The clarity of the glass. When I first took it out of the box I was shocked with how clear the sight picture was probably due to the 50mm objective that lets a lot of light in. It's even clear at max magnification (16x) which most cheaper scopes start to get hazy. Don't get me wrong, it isn't as clear as high dollar glass but it's still really good.
The FOV is another major factor that I consider when buying a scope and this one may not be the best but it certainly isn't bad.
Overall I think this scope is loaded with features for the price and has very good clarity and seems to be good quality. If I had randomly used this glass without seeing the price tag I would have guessed somewhere around $150 to $200. On a side note I have to mention how this scope looks. I've always been a sucker for how my rifle looks and I have to say this scope looks pretty awesome on my rifle.
I also have to cover the shipping and customer support from GRG. When I placed my order the email conformation said it would be around 8 days shipping. I received it in 4 days but my brother had picked it up on the way to work and didn't tell me so when I went to the post office and they didn't have it after I got a delivery confirmation I messaged GRG and they replied in minutes saying that they had a conformation too and if it wasn't there the next day to tell them and they would take care of it. GRG was very professional and friendly with the reply and support. I couldn't be more satisfied and I'll definitely order from them again.
Well I hope I covered everything that you needed to know and helped make your decision.
