Overview
A second focal plane, low power variable rifle scope with 1-6x magnification, an MX1 box reticle with MOA hashmarks, an integrated throw lever, and an included offset cantilever mount for AR-platform rifles.
This sits squarely in the budget LPVO category, and the reviews reflect that positioning honestly: buyers who compare it against pricier glass consistently call the optical clarity good but not top-tier, while those treating it as an entry point or range optic are satisfied. It has held zero through drop tests and hundreds of rounds according to multiple long-term owners.

- Second focal plane MX1 reticle with MOA hashmarks
- Integrated throw lever
- Includes cantilever mount and flip covers
Who it's for
Works for shooters wanting a first LPVO on an AR without spending near the cost of premium glass, and for range or training use where holding zero matters more than glass on par with high-end optics. Less suited to anyone who has already used higher-end glass and will not accept a step down in clarity.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners who put this scope through real range and even abuse testing, drops, dunking, hundreds of rounds, reported it held zero and held up well for the price. The recurring caveat is glass clarity: several buyers who had used pricier LPVOs said this one is noticeably less clear by comparison, and one flagged the illumination adjustment as fiddly to dial in.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Holds zero through drop tests and hundreds of rounds per long-term owners
- Includes offset cantilever mount and flip-up lens covers
- Throw lever speeds up magnification changes
- Glass clarity trails higher-priced LPVOs by several accounts
- Illumination adjustment described as finicky by at least one reviewer
- Tan color version costs more than black
Performance notes
As a second focal plane scope, the MX1 reticle stays the same visible size across the 1-6x magnification range rather than scaling with it, which keeps it visible at low power. The integrated throw lever speeds up magnification changes, and anti-reflective coating is described as more extensive than competing scopes at this price for better light transmission.
