Reviews & Ratings for ADE Advanced Optics ProZoom 5-20x50mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane — 56 reviews — Page 1

Very good overall, glass could be better. Good value for the money.

Used scope on CZ rifle so far doing great job
Just a good ol budget optic, that’s functional.

Took a chance…… emailed ADE and they confirmed it would handle heavy recoil of a 50. At 7 months maybe 25-30 shots and still holding zero. No issues at all

Dims above 22x but very sharp. I have 3 and only 1 feels like it belongs @ this price point. the other 2 are very stiff. Excellent tracking.

Zero stop is sturdy,easy and accurate.Optics are good at all levels .

I installed on my 10/22 bench gun (shooting at near range on high magnification). It works well (clear glass with accurate adjustment and tracking), but you have to have the stock properly adjusted to maintain exact eye relief at high magnification without loosing sight picture.

this is my first scope that i have gotten with adjustable dials, and i am extremely happy with it. it is bright and clear and works from it's bottom to it's top magnification. my only complaint is that the light up reticle is hard to see and not very bright.

I recently received this scope and mounted it on my rifle. Haven't had a chance to shoot yet but I've taken in the view to test the scope's features. I got the MIL reticle and I do like it. Nice, thin and clearly visible etched reticle, not too thick so it doesn't obscure the target at long range with the mag dialed up. The illumination is also quite nice, making use at dawn or dusk much easier. The magnification dial is VERY stiff, particularly over 14x. I'm hoping it will loosen up with time and use. The elevation and windage knobs are solid with audible and tactile solid clicks when you turn them. The zero stop on elevation is simple to use and set. I am a bit displeased that the elevation knob will not actually dial down to the zero line on the elevation post (there's the elevation knob/turret with the numbers on it and the post with lines on it from zero on up). I use a 20 MOA optic mount and that means I really need to dial the reticle way down so I can use virtually all the elevation adjustment to get out as far as possible. The turret stops shy of the zero mark on the post, but this will make it easier to set the zero stop since it is likely to match the bottom of turret movement for a 100 yd zero (we'll see). Overall I'm quite happy with it and expect it to handle me getting out up to 1200 yds easy. Turns out that at 1100-1200 yds about 16x is plenty of mag to see a target. In the future I may upgrade yet again to a more expensive make of scope (like an Arken) but go...

The eye box is hard to find if used for hunting, for me, I’m only using it at the range on a bench rest

Optics: clear and sharp, some CA towards the very high end as expected. Bright at lower magnifications, even in dim light. Small fleck in scope after several days of use: does not affect operation and should be covered by warranty.
Eye relief: fine for use an AR-10 with adjustable stock, seems comfortable.
Reticle: easy to see, nice illumination, not blinding or visible in daylight; works perfectly at night.
Build: seems solid, resets to zero after moving the turrets up to the max and back to the zero stop. Zoom knob has some forward/backward play, reticle seems to jump if turned hard to max magnification (untested, could be an illusion). Clicks are solid, probably a little loud if hunting at close range. Seems to hold zero after over 100 rounds, mounted in Monstrum base on a .308 rifle.
For the price, I like it.
