Asking for those in the know that have seen the various types of affordable LPVOs and can attest to which ones have the brightest illumination. 'Daylight Bright' is quite subjective, but comparing optics directly to another to see which one is brighter could be something worthy of discussion.
I'm currently in the market for my first LPVO and need 2 or three of them which is why I'm looking for pricing around $700 or less. I'm fairly certain I like the 1-8x range due to more forgiving eyebox area than the 1-10x scopes for my 5.56 needs out to 300-400 yards. Weight is less of an issue, but I've heard that the heavier the optic the more sturdy it is. I don't know if this is true. Also like the SFP as the reticle is usually larger and easier to see at 1x in the daytime than a FFP optic.
I'm considering these scopes: Primary Arms 1-8x24 SLX, Sig Sauer Tango MSR 1-8x24, Swampfox Arrowhead 1-8x24, Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x24, and Athlon Optics Argos BTR Gen2 1-8x24, Of these or another not on this list under $700, which have you experienced a brighter illuminated daytime reticle than others? If the reticle is not bright, I'd immediately discount it. Thank you!
