Value for money, but temper expections - Leaper 5th Gen Bug Buster 3-9 x 32mm AO Mini Rifle Scope SCP-M392AOMDL

First, let's remember that this si a $75 dollar scope. If you're purchasing this scope with the expectation that it's equal to a $300+ scope, prepare to be disappointed.

If I'm being critical I'm going to point out three things that you will get if you pay more money for a scope.

1) The single biggest "flaw" in this scope is that there is some parallax (watch this vid I did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Opm0r7GOCuE) even when you adjust the AO parallax compensation.

2) The cross hairs are thick. It's a minor point, but I'd guess based on my tests that the lines of the crosshairs will cover 3/4" at about 100yds at the 9X setting or about 3" at the same distance at 3X.

3) It's heavy for it's size weighing in (on my scale its about 14oz (+4oz for the rings, which by themselves are very heavy.

1) On the positive side it's built like a tank.

2) It has very respectable optics

3) Has lock-down features on the MOA ajustment

4) comes with tool- less removable rings

5)Lots of extras under $100

6) Great price.

If you temper your expectations and are shooting under 100yds (or arnt expecting sub MOA accuracy at long range), I think you'll be happy.
Pros: Solidly built, Clear optics, lots of features and well built for price point
Cons: Parallax, heavy
