Looks like the only budget options are the Steiner p4xi, Burris xtr II 1-5 and vortex pst 2

Are you thinking of nuclear summer sun bright or daytime visible?
The only scopes that are summer sun bright out here in the arizona sun I've personally seen are the dual focal plane US optics, Elcans, and Schmidt Bender shortdots. Granted I haven't looked through every scope in the market. |

All of the optics mentioned here will get the job done regarding being visible in bright daylight. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding ours specifically, though! - Erik ([email protected])

I have a Steiner P4xi and i love the center dot illumination. I am building a couple of more rifles and have been looking for different scopes to try. I have astigmatism but have found that LPVO work great for me. So far the only 1-x scopes that have super bright illumination similar to red dots that i can find are: Steiner P,T,M models Vortex PST II and Razor HD II Kahles SWAROVSKI Nightforce NX8 and Atacr Burris XTR II (donut and dot) Leupold Fire dot (almost) Us Optics Sr4c Sr8c svs1-6 Schmidt and Bender Weaver 1-7 (maybe) Some of these are way out of my price range for now. Is there any others that I am missing? I was looking through both of them this AM against a white vinyl sided house with the sun reflecting directly off of it. It almost seemed brighter, however the entire reticle of the Griffin-Mil illuminates vs. just the center dot of the P4Xi, so that may have something to do with it |

As an alternative to a LPV, you could do a fixed x10 scope with an offset reddot.
It'd probably come out cheaper and lighter than an equivalent quality 1-8. |

I wish i could use red dots but i have astigmatism bad. I see see 2 blurry snow flakes that move around as i squint. For up close i can live with it but anything past 25 yards is sketchy. I like the idea but i also like having an etched reticle with a diopter. Have you considered getting glasses, contacts, or laser eye surgery? Putting your money there instead of a new scope will increase your performance all around the board both at the range and in your daily life. |

Leupold Firedot is not almost daylight bright. It is intensely daylight bright. At least it is so on my VX-R Patrol.

When it comes down to it, this is a really subjective topic.
Quite a few scopes have daylight visible reticles, depending on how you define it. Even saying something as 'visible in bright sunlight' is still variable, depending on what you're using as the backdrop But if you are interested in a reticle that's as bright as an aimpoint reddot, you're going to need reddot tech, aka a beam splitter reticle. I don't think beam splitter reticle LPVs are particularly widespread yet, but manufacturers are definitely catching on I think. That said, if you're really interested in a particular scope it's almost always best to check one out in person before you buy it, to make sure it actually meets up to your expectations. |

If you want 'nuclear' grade brightness, only one IMO - Trijicon Accupoint 1-4 with red or amber triangle-tipped post reticle, lit by fiber optic. The brighter the sun, the brighter it gets. Yes, this reticle has it limitations but still very useful for an old design. No problems hitting what I aimed at 400 yds using a 250 yds zero. At 1x and fiber optic window opened, it is an RDS! At 4x and fiber optic window closed, the black (unlit) sharp tip/point is better for precision aiming than a 3 moa dot. Another plus - It never needs batteries
