Perfect for my 10/22

Author: patlanta from Atlanta GA on Apr 6, 2013
Pros:  Fits my long action. A lot of nicer scopes don't have a long enough tube to be mounted on my rifle.
Cons:  Fits a long action, can not handle the recoil. Use it on smaller rifles.
Would recommend:  yes

I'm not going to bash the scope, but don't put it on a .300 win mag. It came with mine, probably because not a lot of budget scopes will fit the long action. I'll save it for a 10/22 or something, it's not a bad scope. It just doesn't belong on a .300 win mag.

Very happy with this economy scope. Installed on 10/22 and definately gets the job done. I will probably get one more for a 22LR bolt action rifle I just ordered. Optics Planet provided great price and speedy delivery.

I bought this scope about 6 years ago on sale for $35 thinking if it went to crap I wasn't out that much. Mounted it on a Mossberg 835 slug barrel and it shot so well I went back the next week to get one for my wife's Mossberg 500. The scope later got moved from her gun to a Savage .243 and continued to perform flawlessly. I paid over $200 for a Nikon SlugHunter with a BDC reticle to put on a different gun and have since sold that gun with the high dollar Nikon. The same Mossberg with the $35 Simmons has never failed to drop a deer. Not to discredit Nikon because I still have guns that use the ProStaff scopes but I am on this site now buying two more scopes, one for a gift and one for another gun I just bought. The only issue I ever had with it was occassionally fogging up but it wasn't anything a quick swipe of a shirt sleave couldn't fix.

I put this scope on my Savage Arms Model 93R17 FV .17 Caliber Bolt Action Rifle. I had nothing but good luck with this scope. I sighted it in for 100 Yards and was getting great groupings and bullseyes. The view is clear and you can see what you are shooting at. Well worth the money, I highly recommend.

Put this scope on my sons .22 rifle. The scope I recieved was not labeled "Blazer" but "8 Point" but had the same part number as the "Blazer". I guess this is a replacement model. Sighted in and after several weeks it is still doing its job. We have shot about 150 rounds through it. At this point I am well pleased with the optic.

Would recommend:  yes

I can't believe that people are giving this scope a bad review. I am prier service active army with certificate as an honor graduate of the long range marksmanship course. I recently bought a savage 110 .243, and this scope came on it. I zeroed it(not bore-sighted it)and had groups at 350yards of a quater on a windy day in Texas. You people are writing bad reviews on this scope, not because of the quality of the scope, but because you don't know how to shoot. A true shooter can take iron sights on an m4 (shorter barrel) and hit targets at 800meters. Id put money that on any given day I could out shoot all of you on any weapon system, using this scope.
