For the most part, yes. Is it as bright as an Aimpoint, not really, but still visible. I guess it may not have seemed as bright as it really is using a red targer tho  . So far its been a great optic, especially for the price. I really like the fact that its a little shorter then the XTR and it also has shorter eye relief so a regular SPR mount works well.

Not visable in the brightness of the Arizona sun. The only 1-4 scopes that are be the Dhort Dot, and the MeOpta K Dot.

Quoted: Not visable in the brightness of the Arizona sun. The only 1-4 scopes that are be the Dhort Dot, and the MeOpta K Dot. I disagree. The reticle still looks red to me, even in bright daylight. It does not glow, as another poster above me said, but it is clearly red. A really light background will cause some of the brightness to be lost, but it is still red enough to distinguish easily.  In direct afternoon sunlight, light background:  In shadow, same background:  |

thank you for the pics so far, keep em coming.
I am looking to put this on a 308 AR, you guys see any potential problems with that? my options right now in this $ range seem to be, millet, this one, Burris XTR (quite a bit more), not sure what else. |

In this price range, this is the best IMO. The Millet has had very mixed reviews. The glass seems to be not so great, fungus issues, even one case where the scoped rifle fell over off some sand bags onto the bench (a few inches?) and the rear objective almost broke off. Its also made in China so take it for what you will. This one was made in the Phillipines if i remember right. Glass is great, seems solid as hell, great reticule and to top it off is FDE(almost). The XTR is almost twice the price so if I was spending that much I would just go ahead and get the TR24 personally. |

do you know the sub-tensions on distance between each of the dots? I am assuming they are for holdovers.

Quoted: I'd like some more info on this as well. I know it is set up for 5.56/.223, but I am not sure what each dot represents. If I had to guess if would be center at 100 yds (duh), next one down 300 yds, etc. There was no reticle specific information included with the scope, but maybe someone can dig up something on the Burris website?do you know the sub-tensions on distance between each of the dots? I am assuming they are for holdovers. ETA: This is the AR332 reticle, so it's probably set up the same for the TAC30. http://www.burrisoptics.com/images/ballistic_cqreticle_dia.jpg

The Elcan Spectar is also daylight visible. (aimpoint bright) As another poster stated the Tr24 and TR21 work fine in the sun light as well. You need to get some more exposure to optics. Pat |

But actually the Swarovski never washes out. Not sure if the Burris is the same. pat |
