Good learning purchac= - Trinity Force 3-9x42 Redcon-1 Scope Combo

I bought this scope for my ar15 because I had never shot with a scope or red dot so I got this to get a feel for what to look for. So what I liked: the glass is clear and focuses easily. The quick detach mount is very convenient and secure. It comes with a mount riser which allowed a more comfortable cheek weld. What I didnt like: the eye relief is very tight and on my ar15 this caused an uncomfortable stance (I know it has a red dot but more on that later). WithoUT lock tight the screws between the scope and mount loosened repeatedly. This scope would hold zero as long as it stayed exactly in place so every time I took it off to tighten the screws I had to re-zero and when I switched it out to try my atn x-sight I had to rezero this sight when I put it back on (so it was easy to take it on and off with the quick detach mount but it had to be re-zeroed every time). The red dot sight was in a word useless. The dot stretched from center to the top if I moved the dot to the top. It was very hard to zero and had to be re-zeroed everytime I took the gun out of the case. Eventually I quit using it. Finally, after having the scope a few months the knob that controls reticle illumination broke off. I am sending it back for ten dollar warranty repair. This scope was good to learn with, easy to use, good to look though, and fun. This is not a usefull scope though. I would not rely on it to hunt and definitely not a tactical tool. I got a high lux red dot sight to replace it and love it. I will keep this around for friends that dont have a scope to throw on their guns.
