Reviews & Ratings for Vector Optics Wrangler 1x24mm IR Rifle Scope — 1 review — Page 1

I'm not a fan of scopes. I much prefer iron / open sights. But I have a Ruger 10/22 with a .920 bull barrel, and it's very difficult to find open sights in this set up. I'm trying other options, such as NodakSpud And SeeAll Sights. Figured I'd try a non-magnifying scope if I could find one. It was very hard to find a non-magnifying scope, but I found this one on Optics Planet. It is very inexpensive (some might say "cheap"), especially when you realize it comes with most of the accessories that you'd have to pay extra for, such as scope rings and lens covers.

I just received this item, and to be fair I haven't really used it yet. But so far (first impression) is very good. It's compact, light, and seems very solid/stable...at least for .22 long rifle calibers.

I didn't want the illumination option - I like to keep things simple. I just wanted the simplest way to put cross hairs on a target given I could use iron / open sights. Maybe I might use the illumination, but probably not. If this scope was offered without the illumination option, it might reduce the weight even more...but probably not enough that I'd notice. Now I'm just being picky.
