Reviews & Ratings for Nikon Encore EER 2.5-8x28 Scope — 6 reviews — Page 1

Another Nikon winner.
Pros: Good value, sharp optics & intelligent design.
Cons: none

I recently purchased this scope to mount on my T/C Encore Pro-Hunter .308 pistol. When I first received the scope I looked it over and liked it. Fit & finish was good, optics were clear, plenty of light gathering for it's size. After mounting it, I found the eye relief to be a bit short at all magnifications greater than 2.5X but figured it didn't matter much as 2.5X was the magnification I'd be using the most. Overall prior to shooting with it, I was very pleased with the purchase. Once I got it out to the range I started zeroing for 100 yards but the reticle cracked within the first 10 shots! I will say it tracks very well and I actually managed to shoot a three shot 1 hole group at 100 yards with it but due to the reticle cracking I will be sending it back and trying either a Burris or Leupold. On the whole I think it's a decent scope for the money (tracked extremely well even after breaking) but It just wasn't made for the kind of recoil a 308 pistol delivers. It might do fine for a lighter caliber, not sure. However, I would be leery of putting this on the rifle caliber handguns that the scope's name would suggest it was made for...
Pros: Tracks Well, BDC Feature, Clear
Cons: Too little Eye Relief, Reticle Broke in <10 Shots

VERY GOOD SCOPE FOR THE MONEY

Sweet in every regard. Thanks.
