This is my gold standard for optics. Crystal clear glass and perfect etching on both of the ones I've ordered. It holds a zero very well, even with the rifle being abused. I carry this one for work and highly recommend it.
Fantastic optic
by John
Outstanding optic. It got great reviews so after researching this I pulled the trigger. A fraction of the cost of many other highend optics, yet this is comparable quality. Despite only being a 2x, its probably closer to a 3x due to its super bright light intake. The lense is clear and crisp, and I have had no lense fogging issues outdoors. Very happy with this. Lightweight. This reticle is a game changer. I also got the Midwest Industries QD mount, which holds zero great. Also got the anti relection device, which helps reduce glare on very bright days. This optic also got great ratings on the drop test reviews, where some other brands cracked during drop testings. For an affordable great quality optic, you will not be disappointed imho. And the battery saver feature saves your battery. But do your own research. For me its fantastic, lightweight, huge eye relief, and great for close range out to 200 meters and well beyond. 5 stars.
Works great on AK too.

This is an awesome prism and can still cqb with it and helps my old eyes out to 100 yards. Used a RS regulate mount and removed the factory installed base and riser. Sitting perfect on my zastava m70
Love this optic!!
by Quinn
Little known great fact of 2X GLX prism: it excels as an occluded eye gunsight (OEG) using obj flip caps. Why OEGs? 1)eliminates scope front end emission of reflections, illumination, 2) avoid confusion of Binden Aiming Concept (BAC), 3) fixed medium illum setting becomes usable in nearly all lighting environments.
What's special about 2X GLX? Most roof prisms cause a small image offset between unaided eye and gunsight eye, resulting in less accurate OEG hits. 2X GLX basically has no such offset problem!
Flip cap stays closed, optic illuminated, day or night, & youre always ready for accurate snap OEG shooting, to 20+ yards. For direct long range targeting, just flip cap open. Note, PA ARD device aids flip cap mounting.
Irony: people seek low mag (1.5x or 2x) for faster CQB on BAC scopes. But BAC works better at higher mag, as the magnified image blurs more easily, allowing the aided eye to better ignore all but the glowing reticle until rifle stops on target.
Great scope

Excellent fixed power prism optic

Mounted this on a Colt A2 sporter with the help of the primary arms carry handle mount and couldn’t be happier. Excellent clarity with an intuitive reticle. With some minor zeroing we were stacking rounds in no time. Don’t hesitate.
