1x4 illuminated scope options
Hey guys im looking for opinions on a 1x4 illuminated scope options for my dad for his ak, he loved my rds on my ar but needs some magnification for his old eyes. So far I have it limited down to about 3 options
1. Millet dms- uses 1 mow dot with 18 moa circle like eotech with lower and left and right crosshairs 200$ 2. Mueller speed shot- uses 4 moa dot like aimpoint 229$ 3. Leatherwood cmr- dot and horseshoe reticle Im trying to keep this under 300$. And I do want one that you can see in daylight. I have read many reviews on all of these but would like to hear from more trusted sources here. Also any other options would be appreciated. Thanks for the input |

I have the millet dms 1 for my mini 14. Nice clear lense but the illumination even at the highest setting is barely usable in the daytime. With 1-4 I'm able to hit targets up to 300 yards.
I have a Leatherwood scout scope on my M1A. I did not kick that the glass isn't as clear as the millet dms. |

CMR is in a different catagory for glass quality compared to the scout scope. The CMR has some of the clearest glass I've seen on a 1-4X scope. Unfortunately however, the illumination is not daylight visible in sunlight.

The burris is a little more than I want to spend. The weaver is non-illuminated. I also looked at the bushnell pcl it has ffp but at 1x you can barely see it. I think I'm gonna go with the Mueller, it seems like the only one that's bright enough in daylight and has good reviews on most websites. SWFA has a sale with mount for 239$

LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEEE my Mueller SpeedShot.
If you want the benefits of a red dot that allows for great magnification up to 4x, then it's for you. Not to mention the dot is truly daylight bright. I mean that thing on 10 is SUPER bright. I failed to find a reticle on a 1-4x that was as bright. I have astigmatism and it's been a great optic. |

I actually ended up going with a swfa 1x4 optisan mamba. It has basically the Dms reticle that i liked with both red and green illumination that all reviews I've seen is daylight bright. Got it and mount for 149$. I found alot of good reviews on it, hopefully it works out ill post review here later after we try it out.
