Good scope for the money, eye relief is too distant in 6X power.

It's not a high-dollar scope. I also wish it had a little shorter relief so I could have used it as a scout scope, but I am using it as it was designed on a pistol now and I'm pretty happy with it.

I'm using this as a scout scope on an AR-15 rifle. Only shot one session with it, but it seems to hold zero well. I like this setup because I can still use my peripheral vision while precision aiming out to 300yds (maybe more, haven't tried).

I have several of these scopes on different handguns. I am completely impressed with them too! This scope takes the recoil of a TC Super 14 in 45-70 shooting 350-405gr bullets up to 1600fps, as well as my 500 S&W shooting 440gr bullets at 1700+fps.

Pros:  Long eye relief
Cons:  Eye relief is so long that image tunnels close to eyepiece.
Would recommend:  yes

Solid construction, Good image, AMAZING eye relief. If you have short arms, do not get this scope since the image tends to start tunneling at an eye relief of about 12 inches or so. From about 10 inches out to the full length of my arms, the image is fine.

This scope is an absolute steal. The clarity is impressive through the entire power range. I have it mounted on my Ruger Mark III Target. I zeroed it at 25 yards on 6x and saw no change to poi through the magnification range. The fit and finish is not comparable to a Leupold but then neither is the price. From reading other reviews, this scope is study enough to handle recoil from hand cannons. When I break my red dot on my .357, Ill be replacing it with one of these. If you want good quality optics and dont have deep pockets, this is the scope for you.

If, as myself, you are looking for an inexpensive pistol scope for plinking and non-subsistence hunting, this scope is a good deal for the money. At the lower powers, it has a bright and clear view, with an adequate range of eye relief. At the higher end of the range (especially at a full 6X), the eye relief range is very narrow (your eye must be an exact distance from the scope) and the picture becomes dimmer and less clear. Overall a good buy, but if you are looking for great quality, you are going to have to spend more.

Don't buy this scopre if your looking for Leupold quality but it's a good deal for the price. Holds zero after 75 shots through my 44 mag. 9 1/2" barrel Super Redhawk.
