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.
Pros and cons
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
