Overview
The Bestsight 1-5x24 is a second focal plane rifle scope with a 30mm tube, 5x true zoom range, and 5-level red and green illumination, designed as a budget low power variable optic.
- 1-5x24 second focal plane scope with 30mm tube
- 5-level red and green illuminated milling reticle
- 1 click = 1/5 MIL windage and elevation adjustment
- Nitrogen purged, 425g, includes dovetail and Picatinny mounts
Who it's for
Fits shooters wanting a budget LPVO for rifles up to .308 or similar calibers, used across close-range snap shots at 1x and longer glassing at 5x. Less suited to anyone who needs first focal plane accuracy at every magnification or a scope from an established premium brand.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers across a range of calibers and price comparisons praised the glass clarity, eye relief, and included accessories like the dual mounts and level bubble as beating expectations for the price. The most common issue was confusion over the pull-up turret design before people realized how it worked; one buyer's unit had a misaligned mount arm and a stuck windage turret, and the reticle illumination was called basic though functional in low light.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Clear glass and smooth zoom for the price point
- Eye relief holds up well even at full magnification
- Includes both dovetail and Picatinny mounts plus a throw lever
- Locking turrets with a usable milling reticle
- Turrets require pulling up before turning, which isn't obvious at first
- Included mount hardware misaligned on at least one unit
- Reticle illumination described as basic rather than premium
- Second focal plane means reticle markings are only accurate at one magnification
Performance notes
Turrets require pulling up before turning, which confused some buyers into thinking they were stuck; once understood they turn easily and lock at 1 click per 1/5 MIL. Eye relief measured 3-5 inches depending on magnification in one review, and the scope held zero across calibers from .22 to .308 for another long-term user, though one unit arrived with a crooked mount arm and a stuck windage turret.

Questions about the Bestsight 1-5x24 rifle scope
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
How do you adjust the turrets on the Bestsight 1-5x24 scope?
You pull the turret cap up before turning it; several reviewers initially thought the turrets were stuck because this step isn't obvious.
Is the Bestsight 1-5x24 a first or second focal plane scope?
It's a second focal plane (SFP) scope, so the illuminated milling reticle's markings are accurate at a specific magnification rather than throughout the zoom range.
What mounts come with the Bestsight 1-5x24 scope?
It ships with both a dovetail mount and a Picatinny mount, along with a magnification throw lever and an anti-cant level.
