A Mepro 21 which works as well or better than any other reflex sight…. meaning it has all the down sides they all do. Dark window and washout problems. I got it cheap, I wouldn't buy another unless it was a real bargain. No way I would ever buy a new one. I like it better than the Trijicon one I had, but that's it. It works great for what I use it for though, recreational shooting in open well lit pits. (45 acp)

A Burris TAC-30 that's been bouncing back and forth between my .22 upper and my 6.5 Grendel upper. Decent glass for the price and a usable reticle. The illuminated reticle doesn't do me much good on this one personally. Not fully daytime visible all the time on the bright end. And I found hunting with it last week the lowest setting isn't dim enough to be real useful. The illumination control stinks, they did away with it an upgraded it on the newest model the MTAC (but it's like $100 more). 1 - 4 power. On 1x it's just like shooting an Eotech, sadly just not as bright.

On my "tac ops" rifle (Tactical Optics match rifle) I have a Mepota ZD. I can't say enough nice things about this scope. I love it. The glass is amazing. It's a true 1x (1-4x), fully daytime visible and dawn/dusk usable. Bullet drop compensator of three chevrons works real well for me. I had a Mepota K-Dot for a couple years which was a great scope, but out past 250-300 yards guessing and trying to remember hold over was tough with the reticle. I still love that scope and wish I still owned it on another rifle. I got lucky and got into that scope real cheap. A few years later I was able to upgrade for a small charge thanks to a little help from a factory rep (Meopta USA is near by). Even with the great first price and the great uprgrade… I still have more money in this scope than any two or three others scopes put together. It cost more than most of my guns. More than I paid for both my cars together… though that's misleading and not saying much. lol
