Thank you for the time you spent making such an informative video.... Seriously, one of the best videos Ive seen on here. I was leaning towards this scope for my S&W 15-22 Sport and now I am going with it for sure. I research everything before I purchase... And like you said, reviews are very important. I subscribed and I thank you again......take care..

Love this review man. You hit the nail on the head with everything I was curious about. You know, I love the different reticles like duplex, fine, mildot, but I realized, the best one is going to be the bdc reticle. Anyways, I'm loving all the information you put in. Many people don't put in drawings over pictures and explain it. Thank you for this!

GREAT, GREAT JOB!!!!! That is why I have already subscribed and look forward to when you post new review! Keep it coming!!!! THANK YOU!

@denisleblanc4506 5 жыл бұрын

I've had this on a 22LR for a few years. I think it would be a good scope for your rifle depending what you shoot with it. If you need half inch precision at 100 yards you'll have trouble getting there with adjustments that are half inch per click at 100 but you'll be close. Otherwise it would be fine. Just remember to use the SpotON app on either your cell phone or PC. BTW, he didn't mention this but you can print out small field charts that show the yardage for each circle and stick it on your rifle. You can also print out a bigger chart that shows the yardage at different zoom levels. Finally you can print out a detailed chart that shows yardage for top, middle and bottom of each circle as well a detailed ballistic charts with everything in it including drop drift TOF and click adjustments. SpotOn is amazing and its FREE.

@gunsaccessories8853 9 жыл бұрын

Rafael Cedano It means that at 100 yds there will be no parallax. At say 50 yds there will be some parallax error, but it obviously wouldn't be as bad as if you were aiming at something 200 yds.

@SamuraiSpooky 9 жыл бұрын

Guns & Accessories so for bird hunting (from 25 to 75 yards) what you recommend to me a 75yards parallax 4-12x40 or 3-9x40 With 50 yards parallax ? both are rimfire, Thx in advance

@SamuraiSpooky 9 жыл бұрын

Guns & Accessories any advice?

@djedgejr 8 жыл бұрын

+Rafael Cedano 3-9x40 with 50 yard parallax. Check ebay now, there is one for sale $99.00, which is a steal for this scope (#6725), item number 351534919317. The newer model has an auto focus eyepiece, which I do not like. Another option is the Nikon Prostaff Target EFR 3-9X40 which runs about $190.00. This is also a very nice scope, and it gives you the ability to focus down to around 10 yards by using the adjustable objective lens. You cannot go wrong either way in my opinion. One thing about the BDC, you have to be zoomed at power 9 on the eyepiece in order for the BDC reticle to work properly. Good Luck !

@JohnnyBoyCali 8 жыл бұрын

+Rafael Cedano I have this scope and it focused just fine at 25 yards. AS a matter of fact it was easier for me to zero it first at 25 yards and then zero it later at 50 yards. I first focused it at 25 yards and later when I moved the target out to 50 yards, it was still clear , so I didnt have to mess with the focus.

What people need to know in a scope review: does the scope track and return to zero, does it hold zero after getting bumped around. We don’t need a scope 101 tutorial and we don’t need to know you sighted it in. Does it track straight up/down and straight left/right? Are the clicks solid or mushy? Is the glass clear? Eye relief - hey you got that one. I don’t need an app tutorial for a scope. This could be 5-10 minutes.
