I bought this for a fun rifle that I wanted to use a the range. I mounted it and sighted it in quickly. Optics were nice and clear and it worked well; although the illumination was hit and miss. Winter came around and the scope stayed stored in the safe. Brought it out to the range the next season and it was nolonger zero'd. Looking at the rifle I realize that the where the aluminum main tube had the vertical adjustment screwed in was now out of the main tube! Looking at the threading It had been cross threaded from the factory and the aluminum was so thin that there was nothing I could use it for. Really disappointing given that it would make an otherwise great scope at the price.

Mounted on my Ruger 10/22 with a SS Evolution Stock. Very clear and was very accurate, however, could not see the full field of view, needed to be just a half inch closer to my eye to be perfect on my setup. Have mounted as far back as possible. Will have to mount a different rail later. Overall, loved the performance.

You can't get both sides to go equally down into the carry handle on mthe AR-15. Need to bring to the gun shop to maybe salvage it.

Good looking scope for an AR or other carbine type rifle. Pretty short eye relief and the scope and came with a carry handle mount that didn't work with my carry handle. Other than that a very nice simple scope, not a bad buy for the money.

This is a nice compact scope that I installed on a crossbow with an adjustable base. I don't know how reverse recoil will affect it in the long run, but works great now. Short eye relief, I would not install this on a centerfire rifle. At 1st and last light, the reticle is too bright, even on lowest setting, this would be easily fixed at the factory. Pulls in a lot of light so illum. not needed often. I like this scope well enough that I would buy another for my purposes.

Put this on my ruger 10/22 with hugue stock and .920 heavy barrel with bipod. Looks great. I didnt want a full size scope for it. Only problem is the cross hairs are a little thick if you are trying to shoot precision on a .22 rifle. But other then that looks great/tactical. Weight is nothing an length is short. I love it. Red coating on front lens looks great too. Makes it look pricy
