One sweet scope - Leapers Golden Image 3-9x40 Full Size STEALTH Rubber Armored Range Estimating Mil-Dot Red/Green Illuminated Scope SCP-394FDRL3-A

I used a Leapers solid mount 30mm for this.It took a low mount for the .22 (no iron sights) and a high mount for the .177. The rubber coating requires this larger ring and a 1" just will not work so be advised.I have had this same scope for a couple of years now and it has seen a good bit of used without being molly-coddled in the least. It is nitrogen filled and I have never had it fog on me even in winter (it actually gets cold here in Florida), The illuminated reticule is a bonus (battery life is excellent) as are the ranging hash marks...they REALLY work too. I have had no problem what-so-ever sighting this scope in to the limit of either rifle and have used the .177 in a snap shot with both eyes open at 8' using the reticule with satisfying results. The covers are great after it is sighted in to keep it zeroed, the eye relief is good and the paralax adjustment is easy to use. The 3-9x zoom is smooth throughout its range. I like the flip up covers as well...no more fiddling in the dirt there.This is a pretty intimidating scope as well as it is large and the rubber shock proofing swells it up somewhat more.The down side, for some,might be that it adds a bit of weight to the gun,but I liked that. This is a great scope for an outstanding price point and is as rugged as you can ever hope for with precision optics
