Review: Great scope great reticle great price - This is an excellent scope at a great price. Up to 8x mag with 28 mm diameter at half the cost of comparable scopes. Sharp image with a usable reticle that is simple, not overly cluttered. The only downside is there are TOO MANY COLORS. Green and red only would've made this perfect. Having to switch through so many colors at different brightness levels is such a pain, I don't use color at all. No problem, the reticle is etched so illumination is not needed and works just fine.
Review: Very good! - I zero'd this on my 16" 5.56 rifle at 100 yards and then shot it out to 600 yards with ease. I'm sure it could have connected at 700 if I had a range that long. Overall very accurate. I love that the turrets are resettable. Good value for the money like most things UTG makes. Definitely not a light weight option but worth the weight. I'm going to buy another one for my other AR.

**Q: Why is the # (4) in all the pics of the redical ? does it go away, or is it just (there) all the time?**
A: The "4" that you see in the reticle is etched into the glass the same as everything else that you see.  It's a reminder that that line is the 400 yard holdover at full, 8x magnification.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 28mm lens makes a difference
*by G***. on May 21, 2019*

I kept this one and returned the well regarded Primary Arms 1-8x24 ACSS. Reasoning below. In short: The good: - Good optical quality, especially at 8x with nice usable eye box (see below). - Mostly true 1x - Have hold zero for around 500 rounds (.223/5.56) - Nice BDC reticle. Although not as featured as ACSS it is still very usable and lest cluttered on the center - Good value for a 1-8x with a 28mm lens The bad: - Distortion on the edges at 1x (as opposed to clean ones on the Primary Arms). I don't notice much in use, but other may - QA appears to not be perfect (see below) Neutral/I don't care: - The 36 colors looks gimmicky to me, but you can just use red and green buttons basically - I don't love the locking mechanism on the turrets, what makes them taller. Capped turrets will probably work better since the reticle has a BCD I wanted to like the Primary Arms 1-8 but with its 24mm objective lens the eye box at 8x is so tiny that you have to be perfectly and absolutely centered what made it practically unusable. At least for me; perhaps because I am a glass wearer, but I have seen others complain about the same. The UTG one though has a much better eye box. I guess that is because the 28mm objective, what also makes it brighter in low light. 28mm/8x = 3.5mm exit pupil (although it is listed as 3.4mm in the specs). The only problem besides the mentioned slight distortion on the 1x is that I got a second sample (the rings were missing screws on the first) and the optical quality was worse on that one, so they may have QA issues (at least on my limited experience with 2 samples), not to forget missing the screws on the mount. Otherwise I would have given it 5 starts instead of 4.
