Best priced optic
Glass clarity is comparable to Leupold Mark IV, which at $400 is pretty insane.
The Griffin 1-8x ICO™ FFP LPVO is a quality LPVO at a budget price. The 1-8x magnification range makes transitioning from close to medium-long range a breeze. The minimal-parallax, clear sight picture of the Griffin LPVO combined with 11 brightness settings makes target acquisition fast and natural in a variety of lighting conditions from bright sunny days, to dark cloudy nights. The fully-housed aluminum sight body provides a robust frame to protect the optic from drops, dings, and bumps. Hardcoated with black Type 3 Anodized finish resists scuffs and abrasions to keep your sight looking its best amidst the toughest conditions. The Griffin LPVO is ready for use right out of the box and includes flip-up scope caps, Griffin microfiber cloth, and a CR2032 battery.
The Ideal Carbine Optic™ (ICO™) reticle is a custom designed, glass-etched, MIL/BDC reticle with ranging features and windage holds for standard sized targets. First Focal Plane allows ranging of targets at any magnification level. The reticle allows for rapid targeting under a variety of ranges and conditions with several common cartridges.

Got one of these for my son's first AR build and I had a hard time not keeping it for myself. Always loved vortex and own two of their strike eagles, but with this one being half the price I figured it'd be good for my kid's first build. I think the glass is actually clearer on this than my strike eagles and the reticle is perfection. Tons of features while not being overly busy. Will definitely be ordering a second for my own rifle!
Build quality is solid, turrets are decent, and the glass is great. Only con is wish it came with or had a throw lever available for it.
