 Piscator's recommendation | |
This scope looks quite nice and has reasonable optics.
I zero my gun at 25 yards. When clicking from 10 yards to 55 yards my impacts are to the right up close and to the left at distance. In cool weather the AO focusing gets very stiff.
I have tried this scope on 3 different spring guns and 2 pcp's. In each case the windage varies when you adjust elevation. Yes the scope is level no I am not canting the gun. This problem has been evident even in indoor ranges, it is not wind.
The screws that retain the windage and elevation knobs are very soft and have a tendency to strip. I recommend that you replace them A.S.A.P.
I tried using this scope for FT, and found that it did not estimate range accurately enough to do the job. It will range to withing 3 to 5 yards of accurate,m which is probably adequate for most hunting situations.
If you are going to use this scope I suggest that you zero it and leave the zero set, then use the mildots for hold over and hold under.
