So I traded for this scope, but I really don't have a weapon or skills worthy of such a quality optic. It was over $1,000 new for the scope ($800) and mount ($200). Hi Lux has dropped the price to $599 now, so basically you're getting a like new, safe queen scope with a rock solid mount for free. 9.5 of 10 condition, just a touch of safe rash on right turret knob cover. The gun I traded was worth $600. I'd like to get that for this scope. So $600 NOW $550 NOW $500 all in to your door, PP or Zelle/Chase Quick Pay. Check out the info below, it explains why this is such a badass scope better than I can, and let me know if you have any questions.

Some comments I found on a review when looking for info on the AVS Proportional aiming reticle:
Leatherwood/Hi-Lux’s contribution to the trend of affordable, quality 1-8x scopes is their AVS-CMR8 which is a 1-8x26mm First Focal Plane scope. Building off the reticle that made their CMR 1-4x scopes so well liked, they have upped the ante with the AVS-CMR8. The Proportional Ranging System reticle utilizes a large horseshoe to provide quick acquisition and targeting at lower magnifications but then disappears from view at higher magnifications to allow an uncluttered view of the mil dots to be used as holdover points when shooting at distance. Perfect for competition, hunting dangerous game, or just expanding the effective range of your rifle.
AVS-CMR8 Features
Built on a 34mm tube diameter, the AVS-CMR8 is the lightest 1-8x scope on the market and the only one with a green illumination option at that price point. The scope has a built in throw lever which is great for making rapid magnification changes or fine adjustments as well as Zero-LOK turrets so once you have it sighted in, it stays that way. The flip caps are nicely made as well and use magnets to stay closed. Really the AVS-CMR8 just needs a mount to be ready to go out of the box. I used the Warne 34mm Skeletonized mount and the FDE finish complimented my rifle beautifully. While the reticle is intended for .308 applications, I was still able to effectively use it on a 5.56 rifle.
