Ade Advanced Optics Gen2 30mm 1-6x24 Rifle Scope with Illuminated Mil Dash Reticle

Plopped this on a budget build and it feels right at home. Shoots where you point it, and I like having both red/green illumination levels. Rings and covers included were nice extras. Glass is fine — maybe not high-end sharp, but more than respectable for what I paid.

I bought this for my brother’s AR build and he’s stoked. Easy to zero, reticle options are cool with green illumination, and it seems tough. Said it feels more solid than other scopes in this price range. Overall, good buy.

I tested this during early morning hunts, and that illuminated Mil-Dash reticle made target acquisition much faster when the light was low. Eye relief is generous and forgiving. Lens coatings transfer light nicely. Not premium glass, but plenty good for my uses.

I like the scope overall — functional and tough. But the adjustment knobs feel a bit softer than higher-end optics I’ve used, so I double-check zero more often. Still, after 300 rounds, it hasn’t shifted. Good option if you’re price-conscious.

I’ve swapped this scope between my .223 and .308. For .223 it was great, and it held zero well. On the .308 I noticed a bit more vibration but no issues with durability. Reticle illumination is handy at dawn/ dusk. For the money, wouldn’t hesitate to pick another.

As someone new to optics, I love how simple this was to install and use. The Mil-Dash reticle was easy to learn, and changing magnification from 1x to 6x is smooth. I appreciate the flip-up covers — saved my lenses from dust on my first few outings.

This scope has exceeded my expectations for under $120. Clarity at 1x is decent and transitions to 6x quickly when I need it. Adjustments are crisp, and the Mil-Dash reticle really helps with quick holdovers. I mounted it on my AR-15 and zeroed in about 15 shots at 100 yards. Comes with scope rings and flip-up covers which was a nice bonus. Definitely a bargain.

I’ve been running this on a mid-length 5.56 AR build for a couple of months. The illuminated reticle is a welcome feature for low-light shots, though the brightest setting isn’t blinding. Build feels solid — fog-proof and weather resistant — and eye relief is generous. Only gripe is the eye box can feel a bit narrow if you move your head a lot.

Bought this for range days and it’s been fun to use. Easy to sight in, reticle is intuitive, and I’ve not had any reliability issues. Glass isn’t Zeiss quality or anything, but at this price point, I’m impressed. Rings are solid, though I added a cantilever mount for my setup.

Honestly expected a cheap feel, but this feels far sturdier than other budget scopes I’ve tried. The 30mm tube doesn’t feel flimsy, and after a couple of rainy range sessions it still works fine — no fogging or moisture inside. Illumination helps when light drops. Great value if you’re not chasing top-tier glass.

Getting into shooting games and needed an affordable LPVO. This hit the sweet spot. Optic is clear enough for 100–200 yards, reticle is easy to pick up, and mounting was straightforward. A throw lever would be nice but isn’t a deal-breaker.

Glass clarity isn’t amazing on the edges, but center image is crisp once focused. Illumination works well in dusk conditions. Mounted on a 5.56 AR, I can hold consistent groups at 150 yards. Rings are okay, but I swapped to a higher quality ring for better stability.
