When adjusting the eyepiece focus, the reticle wil actually move changing the point of impact- not acceptable.

Have had this scope on AR for about a year. Have put about 1000 rounds through the rifle. Scope holds zero. Clear glass. The knobs for adjusting were very difficult at first. They have loosened up now. You still have to be carefull or they will mess up your zero. But, for the price still a good scope.

pile of junk. i got 10 rounds down range on first day no problem. day 2.. windage will not adjust at all! i store all rifles in fully padded pelican hard cases so it wasnt bashed around or abused. quality and craftsmanship suck. dont waste your money.

Overall a scope that give more that you expected for the price you pay. Sure, it wouldn't compare to brand names like Zeiss and Leupold, but then again, its the question of 'Do you want to see the deer or the fleas on the deer.

overall quality is ok, I use it on an airgun. The reticle with bsa triangle system is very useful, turrets and mag indexes are fluorescent with low light conditions, I think this is useful for hunting purpose. With 40mm obj, at 24x the image darken, but the overal quality glass is ok. The bad is the locking system for turrets, these have 2 stage pull out (like watches)to adjust and reset to zero; the problem is that they are very hard to pull and often I jump to 2nd stage (resetting to zero) and I wanted only the first.
