SAI Optics builds low power variable scopes for shooters who want a carbine optic that works as fast as a red dot up close and still reaches out at the top of its range. The 1-6x24 is offered with the RAF reticle, without it, and with crosshair and BDC patterns calibrated for .223/5.56, .308/7.62 and 6.8.
A 1-6x24 is the standard answer for Civilian Service Rifle and practical rifle in Britain: a true 1x for close stages shot with both eyes open, and 6x to identify and shoot out at 200 to 300 m (220 to 330 yd). The same optic suits a straight-pull and, at the lower end of its range, a PCC.
Compare all LPVO rifle scopes and rifle scopes, add a scope mount, or see all AR-15 optics. Compare with Primary Arms LPVOs, and see our best optics for a straight-pull AR and best LPVO rifle scopes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What reticle options are there?
The 1-6x24 is offered with the RAF reticle, a version without RAF, plain crosshair patterns for .223/5.56 and .308/7.62, and a 6.8 BDC RAF reticle.
Is a 1-6x24 a good carbine optic?
Yes — a true 1x lets you shoot with both eyes open at close range, and 6x is enough magnification to identify and shoot well beyond red dot distance.
What mount does it need?
A one-piece cantilever mount or rings on a Picatinny rail, matched to the scope's tube diameter and set at a height that suits your cheek weld. See rifle scope mounts and our scope mounts and rings buyer's guide.
