Anybody have one? I am looking for glass to put on my ar308 when I finish building it. I also looked at the primary arms 1-8 platinum but it would seem like trijicon is well known and tested.
Yes, I have one (mil/mil, red reticle.) It replaced the U.S. Optics 1-4X I had on my 3 Gun Tacops rifle.
It's a great optic. It has a 34mm tube, so choice of mounts is a little limited (I went with a LaRue mount.) At 1X, the reticle looks like an EoTech, but at 8X, looks like a precision scope. Overall, I'm very happy with it. For the money, you can't beat it. (Excuse the crappy cell phone pics.)
It's a great scope for all-around shooting. Even with my terrible vision, I'm easily good to 300 yards at IPSC targets. If you want something with a little more magnification, I have a U.S. Optics 1.8-10X with a JNG reticle on my 308 Heavy Metal rifle that would fit the bill. It's not as fast or forgiving at lower magnification (that's why I have offset sights on it), but it's good for me to ~500 yards.
Neither scope has any distortion at either end of their extreme magnifications.
I have a nightforce 2.5-10x42 on a Scar17 and love it. Crystal clear glass
