Have you tried offsetting a RMR or similar and leaving the magnification dialed up? I tried it once up close and couldn't tell if it was viable or if I was dealing with a little bit of confirmation bias.
Edit: I realize that's a pretty Elementary question, but I'm curious on your experiences with it.

Thats probably the fastest way to use this, although it loses some of the appeal of a 1-5, to me.Originally Posted by opngrnd

Thanks! I got the measurement a while back and it matches my 4-16x56. I grabbed a throw lever from MK Machining and it worked perfectly.

Shot the 1-5 today on the KD range on my Grendel 16” bolt, mounted in an AR co-witness mount. It was fairly windy. I noticed that on 1x, the target seemed slightly smaller than it does with the naked eye. But, cranked to 5x, I got 1st shot hits at 176, 200, 400. Moving to 600 (longest hash mark), I didn’t hit, but I was able to walk on, just holding, while the wind was calm, until I was consistent enough to add .2 mils up, and .2 mils windage. After that, easy peasy with regularity.
Edit: just re-painted the steel. My hits at 600 were lower third, so I’ll go up more.

My personal experience in two of three scopes from them is they can’t assemble them for shit. The best part do the scopes by far is the glass which I think specifically they don’t make.

I'd guess for those who can afford it, the updated VX6HD 1-6 is the better scope. Still SFP. Decent weight. More or less daylight bright reticle in the Firedot duplex model.
The CMR2 reticle offers more information but, being etched, is not overly bright when illumination is set to max. Maybe what Leupold needs to do is illuminate the center dot only and then just leave the rest of the reticle black.

Found a P4xi 5202 with throw lever online new for $645 free shipping and no tax. Until I found that one the cheapest I found was Midway with a 15% coupon that puts them at $745 but charges tax.
I know there's newer variants, but is there a better option in that same price range? I would prefer to get closer to $550 if possible.
Probably put it on a spr'ish grendel build.

Check battlehawkarmory . com
Also check if they are trustworthy; I did not.

Optics planet has a version made for them that is closer to the $550 mark and with the older bcd reticle.

We have played a bit with the green triangle. Most users prefer the red dot. The red dot is more comparable to the traditional red dot in overall size, brightness, etc. It seems more in keeping with what is expected of red dot users who are making the switch to an LVPO.
The green triangle is generally not daylight bright although that's probably more an artifact of the shooter’s expectations from a 1x image. The triangle itself is bold enough to be fairly easy to pick up and see unless using against a very dark target.
I do like the locking ocular on the 5202 and the mil based turrets. Going off memory I think the red reticle is inch based.
