This scope is loaded with great features. 50mm obj, High magnifcation, illumnated reticle, AO. Parallax adjustment. I don't think you can buy a better scope for the money.

The only reason this scope got 2 stars is the warranty. It really is top-notch. I bought one of these for my Savage 110 in .308 Win and the elevation turret actually fell off. Not after many shots, just about 250. I sent it back and received a replacement scope; no cost to me except shipping. The replacement scope has exactly the same problem. It starts with the zero moving up and left, which will get worse and worse until you see the turret turn after every shot. This isn't something that you can just fix, the epoxy that seals the turret to the tube comes out with the threads.

An excellent scope for the money and an ideal match for the Ruger Mini-14 .223 Target rifle when coupled with the higher scope rings.

Pros:  Good solid click adjustments seems to be pretty robust
Cons:  Optics are pretty disappointing, slightly cloudy picture.
Would recommend:  yes

At first I was really happy with the scope until I got it out to the range. WIth the parallax set at 100 the target at 100 was not clearly focused. I have to adjust the parallax to 150 before the target became clear (obviously throwing my POI off). I thought that was the only issue till I swapped guns and started shooting my rifle with an 8.5x25x44mm scope (same price). The view through the muller was so much brighter and crisp. I could actually see my hits on the target through the muller where with the Vortex I had to squint and guess. You would think the Vortex's 50mm objective would let in more light but sadly that is not the case. The Vortex comes in 2nd place in my book.

this is a good scope i put it on my flat top ar using the vortex extra high co witness rings was easy to sight in turrets work well they are what they say they are at 100 yrds dont worry about reviews about bad clarity of the scope i have a leopuld vx IV 2.5-10 50mm and yes it is more clear but it costs 3x as much the clarity of this scope is comparable to a leopold 3-9 base model and is extremely good for 200 bucks for the money you can get a better deal plus its made in the usa

This scope is loaded with features. 50mm obj, High magnifcation, illumnated reticle, AO. The glass is low grade. Not useable about 16 in my opinion. The mildot works on an odd magnifcation. soemthing like 14-or so. Instead of standard 10 or max magnification. Did not test repeability. Its alot of marketing gimmicks. Better off with a better quailty smaller simpler scope than a big full featured cheap one. Highly not reccomended.

I use this on my Rock River AR-15 and love it. I sited it in at 50 yards and then took it back to 300 and set up coke cans. Took about three shots before i was dead on the money. I really like the scope and for the price you cant beat it.
