It is a very clear scope for a 1" and concidering the price, I was not expecting much out of it. I wanted to just place on my 17 HMR. The real problem is the eye relief. I have to push the scope so far forward it will not even hit the scope rings and base. I have a solid pcs of Picaninny rail on the rifle.
Second issue is the eye relief changes when you zoom in.
Again. I am not giving this 1 star cause you should not expect much for this price, For what I wanted to use it for it was priced very well. I was willing to make it work. It just would not fit on the gun with the current eye relief from the scope just pushed everything forward and forward rings will not hit rail
I am aware there are off/set rings and bases.

I wasn’t expecting much for $130 but what I got was beyond adequate. There is a massive smudge or fingerprint on one of the inner lenses. The smudge is really prevalent in the green cross hair mode. What makes me most aggravated was the quality assurance sticker was detached from the box cover... How did someone not notice this? I’d love to attach a photo for all to see but that is not an option. A shame, bc 2 family members own this scope and Called it a great deal. I will be contacting Optics Planet and fingers crossed, their refund or exchange policy makes up for this.
Pros:
- Family members had good experiences
Would recommend: No

This scope appears and works just as stated. Looks great and it was quick and easy to sight in. The clarity is just what I expected. I don’t know which color I like using best, I rotate through them frequently just for fun.

this scope seems to be real solid, had it out and got my rifle a henry lever 17hmr sighted in. it took awhile, (i'm not a military sniper) but i like my scopes to be ON. it seems real good. will know better after a little time but right now i'm real happy with it. real clear at 200 yards looking at a pop can, i like the focus thing on the left and the threaded on covers and tube extention. real nice. :)

Fantastic product. Scope is crystal clear and the colored reticle is awesome, it works with any lighting condition. If you have a .17 this is the scope you must have. Sight it in at 100 yards set the top turret at 100 and when you know your yardage on out, just turn the dial to that yardage and its dead on. Brand new in the box from Optics Planet and you won't find a better price anywhere. They will definitely get my business again.

Received scope 3 days earlier than expected. Was easy to sight in and zero out. Can't wait to see how it performs in the field. The only problem is you need atleast medium height rings, but not a deal breaker for the scope.

Excellent scope for the money bought this to match my Henry Lever action 17 caliber rifle finally got out to zero it in, this task was very easy to do my last grouping of four was bulls eyed at 110 yards the size of a nickel I'm very pleased with the match scope and rifle.

I took this scope and my Mossberg rifle to the gun store to get it mounted. It isn't that I couldn't mo nut it but I rather it done correctly from the start. He set it up plumb and square, and then sighted it in roughly so that I could fine tune it easier. I don't own all the gizmos he has to do this set up work. First five shots were very good only had one stray in the lot. It is easily adjustable to get it right on or as close as you can anyway. I like it and had no problems with set up. The next objective is to find some targets to shoot at. You won't go wrong with this purchase in my opinion. So go ahead and invest in one, you will be happy that you did - I am.

This is the 5th sweet 17 scope I have installed in the past 3 months. I used the Talley one piece base and ring for a perfect fit every time. These scopes are clear and consistent. The adjustment is positive and very accurate. The ballistic turrets are dead on every time. The side focus is a real plus when the rifle is on a rest. Great scope for the price.
Cons:
- Number on turrets smallish
Would recommend: Yes

Very good product for the price. I have sold and used many of these scopes. Excellent clarity and good eye relief. The scope has plenty of adjustment and the reticle is accurate and the indicated range.
