The adjustable magnification ( 3x-9x ) is useful. I found the scope pretty useful on my.22 rifle (a Marlin 60). The only con is at 9x the focus is not as clear as in the lower settings. After sighting it in it worked wonderfully. For the price it's great. Yet that is hardly a bother since you can still see your target with no difficulty. I'd recommend it for a.22 rimfire rifle.
The scope is supposed to have "1/4 M.O.A. I was surprised how large this scope is. fingertip windage and elevation adjustments." You actually need a pocket knife, screwdriver or at least a coin (a car key might work, too) to make any windage or elevation adjustments. It actually looks a little funny on my Henry 001. But for the most part, it works great, and at the price, I don't feel you can really go wrong.I can't give it five stars, however, because the description isn't completely accurate. This is fine for static shooting at a range, but if you need to make a quick adjustment, you're out of luck.I would also add that the lens cloth is worthless and frays easily, and the covers are a little on the cheap side, too.But, for the price, it's really hard to go wrong. The scope works well, I just wish it was easier to make on-the-spot windage adjustments.BTW, it was a cinch to zero the scope.
scope comes with mounts but the mounts do not fit on a standard ruger 10/22 mount
After a difficult time trying to sight in my Ruger 10/22 with its open sights, I purchased this scope. The sighting in was rather easy and I am very happy with the accuracy I now have with the rifle. You might think scopes are just for large caliber guns but I would disagree. The improvement in shooting the Ruger with a scope attached is better than I hoped.
I bored a shallow 3/16" diameter hole in the bottom of the rear mount and made a 1/4" long pin to fit in the scope-stop socket on the rifle receiver. Mounts are strong and accurate but have no scope-stop provision.
It is made in China but optics are bright and well focused through most of the magnification range. This is a very good scope for the price.
Windage and elevation adjusters are crisp, accurate and have weatherproof covers. Has no parallax adjustment but does have crosshair focus.
Combo crosshair is excellent for short range target shooting. Good scope for an air rifle in comparable price range but needs a scope-stop for use on a high recoil spring-action rifle.
Works just fine.
