The AGM Evolver LRF 1280 ranks #2 of 15 1280-class scopes on image: priced above the class middle without the image to match — the chart below shows scopes with more picture for the money (image 89, class median 86; $6,995 against $5,999). It's the cheapest of the 2 scopes built on this HikMicro core. At 28 oz it's 23 oz lighter than the class-typical scope, and the 5-year warranty follows the scope through a resale.

The going rate

Priced $1,445 over the going rate for its build.

Every dot is the street price of a scope built like this one — same sensor class, a similar lens, rangefinder built in. The part of the price above the rate is buying body, screen, and name — not the spec.
