This is, as it states, an ACOG "Style" scope, which means in looks only. It is metal construction and looks the part with red ir green dot. There is no magnification. 1x32 is just optical lense diameter and the "×1" means normal magnification. I.e. normal view. Sorry if this is stating the obvious. Looks to be well made and robust construction. Ideal for a bit of fun for the price. Bear in mind the real deal costs a thousand plus, so dont expect the real deal deliverables for something under £30.
