Good scope, but... - Weaver V-16 4-16x42mm A/O Rifle Scope

Fine crosshairs and dot are what I wanted and these are very fine. It can be very difficult to see the dot and crosshairs depending on the light available. It is critical to adjust the eyepiece focus to be able to see these. I could not adjust the scope to zero on an older 243W with Weaver type mounts and had to use 10 thousandths elevation inserts on the front ring to zero at 100 yds. Elevation adjustment would not go high enough without this increase. I have recently mounted the scope on a 222R using Leupold rings and bases and will soon attempt to zero this. It is not suitable for traditional hunting and I will reserve final judgment until I see how this works as a replacement for a vintage Leupold 8X scope. The 243 that initially carried this scope has had at least 3 other manufacture scopes mounted with no issues.
