Anyone else use the Atibal P1 Solar?  I've had mine for a few months and love it.  Battery power, solar augmentation, glass etched reticle.

How have you had one for a few months they are still on pre order?  Pre production review model  (is this your review)? I bought one in may not realizing they were pre order.  They let me cancel and were great to work with.  

Really interested in your thoughts on it  if you aren’t the reviewer.  I’ve tried them all, the swampfox raider was the worst, crazy reflection from the ocular in bright light.  Primary arms and bushnell lil p have been the best just hate the PA reticle when illuminated

I will try one eventually but I just grabbed a primary arms for my gun I was going to use it for because I needed an optic for a turkey hunt

I am the reviewer for the above article.  I've known the owner for a few years, he's mentioned having sent a number of pre-production models out to other people, was curious if any were arfcommers.

I know it's said in the article, but since not everyone is going to want to read it here's the gist:

I love the redundancy of a glass etched reticle, illuminated by a battery, augmented by a solar panel.  Stupid simple, nice bobro mount.  Illumination doesn't bloom at all.

Is the length really 3.6"" or is that supposed to be eye relief?

How is eye relief?

Really liked the review it had some very realistic use cases this thing could see out hunting.  Solar backup is also a real nice to have, even with an etched reticle as people will get used to using it with the illum on too

It would be really cool if they sent them out to those of us who expected to receive them by now.
