This scope is a great value for the money. I have 4 of them on my .17HMR rifles and on my .22 rifles. Dial them in at 100 yds. and use the mill dots for longer ranges. These scopes are rugged, easy to sight through and won't break the bank!!!

Pros:  Cheap, Clear
Cons:  Thick Crosshair, Limited to Small Rifles
Would recommend:  yes

The optics are suprisingly sharp and clear for the price. The crosshair is thicker than a standard Mil-Dot and completely covers small target dots. I mounted it on a .243 and the eyepice ring losened up after shooting about two boxes. Rather than pay the shipping and $10 warranty fee on such a cheap scope, I just tightened it up and mounted on a .22 Hornet and it seems to stay tight. The paralax adjustment numbers seem to be off when I check it on range targets, but if you know that it is sort of OK for the price. I guess to sum it up, it's limitations are acceptable for the price, but realize Varmit-Target is code small rifles.

I bought this scope for my Browning SA-22. Today I took it to the range and boresighted it. I was shooting CCI 40 grain Velocitor rounds and Federal bulk pack 36 grain. The weather was sunny with an occasional passing cloud. After boresighting, the scope was shooting dead nuts after 9 rounds. Average 3-shot groups were less than one inch at 50 yards. Both brands of ammo performed well. The optics and magnification are excellent. Windage and elevation knobs are adjustable with gloved hands, a feature I really like. Parallax is also hand-adjustable, a sophisticated feature for a .22 rifle. CON: The mil dot scope was originally developed for military snipers and should provide range as well as an aimimg point. On this scope, the mil dots do not change size as the magnification changes, which greatly complicates the ranging function. However, if you're good at math and don't mind carrying a calculator in the field, or a sheet of paper with pre-calculated values, you can make it work. There ...

I have this scope on my mini-14 and It has been run through the ringer and beaten up. I also have this scope on my remington .270 and it withstands recoil like a champ, I have sighted it in once the entire year I have had it with over 150 rounds through it. It is an amazing scope for the value. Why spend far more money on 1 "nice" scope when you can get 7 of these for the same price and do the exact same thing. Buy it now!

This is possibly the best scope for the money that I have used to date. I have it on my 10/22 and find the target turrets handy. The parallax adjustment is also a neat feature when shooting at varying distances throughout the day. The only thing I found to be a little difficult was having to have your head in an almost perfect position when using 10X. To be honest, the scope is not the only cause of this as I am quite tall and the 10/22 still has the original short stock, which makes it quite difficult to get comfortable behind the rifle. All in all, great scope!

Bought it at a recommendation on an air rifle forum. The scope is durable with a magnum rifle after a few hundred shots. Suprise that there is no rating on this scope. The price is a bargain compare with others.
