For the money the scope meets my expectations by far. The scope is as clear as your going to get for the price your paying maybe even a little better. Even though you might hear or read alot that these scopes get fuzzy at high power, mine cleared up very nicely with just a quick adjustment of the fast focus eyeball feature. Its only on a 17 hmr so im not sure if it holds zero on higher calibers or not but for a rimfire it does just fine. As for brightness in the evening, its not too bad you can still make out the target just fine a half hour before sunset, sure its not super bright but its also not a 300 dollar scope either. The only thing im not sure is if the advertised 1/8 inch adjustment at 100 yards is true or not but i managed to get it in the orange with maybe 4 to 5 shots at 100 yards. All in all its worth the money just dont expect it to be the same quality as a leupold cuase your not paying that much.
Pros: Clear optics, zoom is good, fast focus eyeball and ao
Cons: 1/8 inch adj might not be true
