Rudukai13 Posted January 29, 2018 Wondering what variable power scopes there are that have a true 1x magnification at the low end, but then as high as possible on the other end of the adjustability. What's currently on the market? 1-10x, 1-12x, more? Links would be most helpful. Price isn't much of a concern at the present moment, more just looking to gather information for now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudukai13 Posted January 30, 2018 Hmm...Not quite the features I was looking for on either of those... Would prefer something in MOA as opposed to Mils. Definitely needs to be an illuminated reticle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supertrunk Posted February 14, 2018 Sig 1-6 x 24 high enough power? https://www.sigsauer.com/store/tango6-1-6x24-mm.html Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve RA Posted February 14, 2018 I've got one of these - it's not in the same class as ones above, not in same price class either - It seems to be fairly clear and certainly useable. https://www.atibalsights.com/collections/optics/products/1-8x-atibal-striiker-5-56-t Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toeheadAR Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Atibal's collection just got even better. They have a new FFP 1-10x30 scope with ED glass and MIL reticle. Only two other competitors; March and IOR Valdada...this is only $800. ATIBAL X Edited September 12, 2018 by toeheadAR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nathanb Posted September 12, 2018 I’m highly suspect of a 1-10 ffp for 800 bucks msrp. I’m guessing the glass is t the best Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supposedly anyways. Not as good as a Razor, way better than a Strike Eagle, comparable to a Viper at a fraction of a cost. The reviews are pretty positive, and satisfaction guarantee.

Garmil Posted September 13, 2018 At least they went with a new larger objective lense with the higher magnification to keep the exit pupil decently sized. gives me hope it won't be completely terrible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until someone can compare it side by side... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jon49erfan Posted September 14, 2018 A single ED lens or multiple ED lenses? Talk to camera guys, there's a big difference in price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toeheadAR Posted November 27, 2018 I just saw that Atibal is taking preorders and shipping in January. Hopefully someone gets one to review and compares it to some popular scopes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reekus Posted November 27, 2018 I'd look at the Nightforce 1-8x NX8 or 1-8x ATACR. Both have superb glass and a true 1x. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toeheadAR Posted November 29, 2018 The Nightforce 1-8x NX8 looks like an awesome scope and light for a 1-8x at under 18oz. But is it 2.5x more $$, for some people that's no problem but I have a hard time justifying that much on a scope. I like the idea of the 1-10x for my 224 Valkyrie so I can take it up to 1,000-1,300 yards at the long distance range. A 3-18x would probably be better for long distance accuracy but to just hit some steel plates the the 1-10x is more versatile. GSRC has been talking about a 1-10x with a BDC reticle for years but I don't know if that is really happening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shooter545 Posted December 2, 2018 I just recently got a Nightforce NXS 1-8 and am very happy with it. The glass is incredible. I put it on a 20" Proof Research barreled 6.5 Grendel and we were hammering 12" please at 600 with no difficulty. As you may have heard the eye box is a little tight but I don't play the 3 gun game any more and for my purposes; range work and some hunting it performs admirably. It was not cheap but none of the good stuff is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rader1812 Posted December 29, 2018 I'm running the Trijicon Accupower 1-8. 1X is great on it. Have not had a single issue with it and the price point isn't bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
