I have two of these scopes. One on a black power rifle and the other on a 30'06 bolt action. I've been well pleased with these scopes. They have good glass and adjustments that are easy to use and stay put. I have higher priced scopes on other rifle but these scopes perform really well when compared to them. I have complete confidence in them and have taken a number of deer with both.

This scope was put on a Marlin 336 30/30, where it is a bit heavy. Reticle is not well suited to fast shooting; too complicated when shots are fast. Go with other reticle. Still, it is quite bright and clear. Large ocular lens helps with field of view.

I think it is the best scope I have ever owned for less than $280.00,Being a Leupould 2x7..It has optics comparable to high end Euro's such as Bosh and Lomb Diavid 3.5x8 or even a Zeiss Conquest...It only lacks in being as bright in poor lighting compaired to my Zeiss Conquest 3x9
