Vortex scope is great!

by Alexander, Verified Owner from NY, United States Written on November 30, 2024
Basic scope with solid construction that more than does the trick. Not gonna break the bank. Great eye relief with a reversed cantilever scope mount. Put it on my Henry Model X 30-30 and it looks awesome.
Pros:
  • Basic, easy to use.
Cons:
  • The zoom is a little stiff.
Best Used for:
  • Any gun that shoots best at like 300 yards.
