TRUGLO TRU-Brite 30 Series 1-6 X 24mm Dual-Color Illuminated Power Ring Duplex MIL-DOT Reticle Gun Scope with Mount, Matte Black, TG8516TL

This scope is reasonably priced and has some nice features such as a two color illuminated aperture and wide range of power. The single power appears to be a true non-magnified image permitting sighting with both eyes open when using the illuminated aperture.The scope came securely attached to the mount and was mounted to a true level. It mounted easily to the Picatinny Rail and I was able to get the proper eye relief at full power to keep the scope on the receiver and not mount it to the forearm.I initially sighted-in the scope at 50 meters and the first three shot group was within three inches of the point of aim and the group was less than one inch in diameter.The windage and elevation scope adjustments brought the next three shot group right at the point of aim.I fired a total of 40 rounds at 75 meters after the sighting-in process and the groups did not drift but remained tight at the point of impact. Three shot groups measured between 3/4 inches and 1-1/4 inches shooting with the scope at maximum power.A five shot group fired at a 10 inch round AR500 steel target at 75 meters with the illuminated sight at one power measured under one inch. The target fit perfectly within the lighted aperture.This is a great scope and is very functional especially considering the attractive price.

I like it. I bought this to test the LPVO waters to see if I would like it. This one was fairly inexpensive and had some pretty good features, especially for a 223 or 308. It's not the brightest at full magnification and has pretty harsh eclipse at that setting. The low power is fantastic though. At 1x, both eyes open works really well.The green dot is super bright, the red dot is not. There is an off setting in two places 180° from each other with the bright setting of one color next to the low setting of the other. I set it where clockwise one click is full red, and a click counterclockwise is dim green and that makes the brightness pretty level. The reticle is pretty good, even without the power on in good light conditions.I ended up liking LPVO's so much, I wish I would have just stepped up in price and quality. This is great quality in this price range. Its probably worth mentioning that it's heavy enough to beat someone if all else fails.

Purchased this for my Del-ton Alpha .308 MLOK rifle. Unboxing I noticed how nice the finish was on the scope. I then removed the .223 turret and replaced it with the .308 turret. The set screws were all tight and after removing them I used thread locker just in case. The adjustment clicks were audible and turrets locked tightly. Mounting on my rifle I looked over the included base and rings, they all looked very beefy. The base clamped tight to the rail. The glass on the scope is very clear with no distortion at the edges. I have owned Bushnell, primary arms and Sig optics. The optical quality of the truglo was just as good. I love the reticle and the illumination worked fine on both colors. The reticle is etched so it is always visible. The included throw lever for magnification is a nice touch as well. It moved smoothly through the magnification range. I will update this review after live fire. However what I have seen so far is a home run for the price!Update***I moved this scope to my Springfield Armory Saint Victor .308 rifle.After 200 rounds of 7.62x51mm ball ammo; the scope has kept zero. No problems with the mount or rings getting loose either.

Clear optics, strong base, good eye relief, and holds zero.This is a very good scope for its price point. Would I put it up against other high end optics? Maybe, but it depends on what you’re looking for. Scope does what it’s supposed to, but you also have to do what you’re supposed to do to make sure it operates consistently. Inspect all of the retainers and tighten them down to spec. You may considering using blue thread lock, but if your rifle produces a lot of vibration, the thread lock will loosen over time.PROS: easy to mount, easy to zero, holds zero, and the bonus...you have a standard reticle without the red/green dot so you don’t need backup sights.CONS: slightly heavier than other higher end scopes, eye relief and field of vision is average, lens clarity is average.I will not say this is the best scope ever, but I would say it stands above most others in its price range. For general use (plinking and hunting 100-250 yards out) this will comfortably do the job. I use this on an AR 556 MPR. Because of the 18” barrel, rifle length gas return, and a muzzle break I don’t have the recoil most 16” ARs will have. This may contribute to the consistent performs I get from this scope.

I have loved this scope. Put somewhere around 500 to 700 rounds through it and still right on. I was just shooting at about 200 yards and was happy to hear steal ringing, then shot again at 50 and was right on point.I also like the illuminated reticle I can put up nice and bright or just go with out it.The riser that comes with it is very nice as well. That paired with the eye relief I find it very easy to find my target.I will say that I got this scope for $170 and for that price I'm glad I didn't have to spend another $100+ for a vortex, or whatever other name brand with a much higher price. I'm sure someone out there can beat it when you shell out $300. But it's durable and still very clear for half that price.The only thing that I haven't loved is that I have forgotten once that I left the illumination on and the battery was dead the next time I pulled it out. So an automatic off feature might be nice. But not needed.
