The smallness, being able to focus down to 3 yards, it feels very solid and well made.I love it.

Nothing.

It perfect on a Benjamin 392/97 if you want to be able to pump the rifle and still use a rifle scope.

The adjustable objective, variable power range, and the price. Also, I love the size, I put it on one of my .22 cal rimfires and it lets me do what I want without hanging a big heavy csope on my gun.

The adjustable objective can be a little stiff, I'd like to see the illuminated reticle not be as glaring on the iside of the scope, but I don't plan on using that feature much so it's not a big issue.

The eye relief is VERY short, I would consider picking up an offset mount when ordering this scope.

Size, close focus, adjustabel objective.

Elevation and windage adjustments not very smooth

use medium high rings

Well built and solid, not cheap at all. The dust covers are nice. Clear optics and it looks descent too. The added green and red illuminated reticle is neat to play with, but not sure how much I'll use them. The finger adjustable turrets are the way to go.

nothing

This works great on my IZH 61 air rifle. I'm holding groups the size of a 50 centpiece at 20 yards, which is perfect for taking care of pesky rabbits. Adds to the fun of plinking, and makes it look tough too!

I like everything about these little scopes, from the size to the variable powers. They were the pefect choice for for my folding stock springers.

I would put a lock ring on the focus adustment. It is hard for me to believe that there is no movement in the thread area, on a hard kicking springer. How about sidewheel paralax adjustment?

I coud not use one piece mounts because the narrow parts of the tube are too short for my mounts, Leapers two piece mounts work great.

I really like this scope , I literally use it to shoot Bugs out here that get so big and mean you don't want to get too near them, so the close focus is awesome. Like the compact size and illumination.

Nothing so far

Nice and compact

Compact size; variable objective range; value

There seems to be a little bit of distortion around the edge of the viewing field but not bad. The compact size looks great on my Beeman R7. Used a 2 piece mount and the rear mount had to be put almost at the back of the rail to achieve correct eye relief.

Adjustable objective with close focus. Good clarity and brightness, especially at the price! Well made with smooth rotation of the zoom and focus rings. I also really like the adjustment knobs on the turrets. They look good and are very easy to adjust precisely and repeatedly.

I would like to see a thinner reticle with smaller mil dots. I also think that the illuminated reticle is unnecessary, but you can simply leave it turned off.

There is no way that this scope has 3" of eye relief. In the shooting position at 9X, my eyebrow has to be about 2 finger widths from the eyepiece to see the entire field of view. The scope is very compact, and this means that there is very little adjustment room on the body of the scope for positioning the scope mount rings. I could not mount this scope on any of my bolt action .22's, but it was OK on several air rifles as long as I mounted it at the very rear end of the spring housing. Give some thought in advance to what rifle this will be attached to.

nice compact little scope, very clear scope for the money.

nothing

I mounted this scope on a 177cal Disco and it looks real well on it. Keeps the whole package nice and light but it also takes some getting use to as far as loading the pellets in the breech, not alot of room

nice scope, perfect on my daisy 901. liked the mil dots very clear

needs a longer eye relife i have it mounted all the way back and the back mount is only half way of the dovetail

i dont know youll find out when you get it if you buy it. its a great scope

What's not to like, Compact - Clear Images - and Zeroed out very nicely at 25 yards! using the Mil Dots is super as I bring in into the garage for bad weather shooting and don't have to mess with re sighting it! Flip up covers are nice too, more protection. It looks like this will be a great - TOUGH little scope for many uses.

All scope's should have a side wheel A/O adjuster. Just being picky!! It is just a little fuzzy around the edges but still it bothers me not.

I purchased the high mount one piece "Leapers" accu shot mount and low & behold the scope will not fit! Go figure, when ordering nothing mentioned about the fact it wouldn't work. Do your self a favor and buy an off set mount and most likely a two piece unless you know the dimensions of of the tube already as you will want t move this back as far as possible due to limited eye relief. It will focus down to 10 feet and shorter real nice but not to sure why someone needs a scope that close? I don't but some may. Still all in all I am VERY happy with my purchase and will be keeping this one around for a long time I'm sure as it does seem very durable indeed.

Very compact. Excellent optics. Zoom knob is very smooth. Turrets are adjustable by hand, with very positive clicks. Really does focus down to very, very close (~3m).

Eye relief is very short (roughly 2 inches). Illuminated reticle not really necessary.

This is a seriously short scope; measuring just a hair under 8.5 inches end to end. The clamping surface available (or necessary) is just 3.05 inches, so it will fit on even very limited scope rails. I have mine set up on the Leapers Accushot medium rings with 2 clamping screws on each base ( RGPM-25M4[PY-A-793] ); works great. My only niggle is that the eye relief is so short. I really have to crane my head forward, out of my usual cheek weld, to use this scope. It's not unlike craning forward to use diopter sights. I may get an offset mount to move it back toward my eye some. Comes with 2" sunshield and with flip up covers, extra screws, all necessary allen keys, cleaning cloth, and good documentation. Mine had an extra battery (so, total = 2) in the packaging, too.

Small size and light weight. Parallax adjustment works well.

Poor eye relief (too short) and fuzzy edges. In low light hunting the illuminated reticle tends to blot out the target even at lowest setting so I usually turn it off. Perhaps it's useful for dark conditions with a mounted light? I had to take the butt pad off my marauder to move close enough to see thru the scope because of the too short eye relief. So in short I have had better scopes in this price range, but none as small and light.

Adjustable AO has me spoiled. Now I want one on every scope I buy.The illuminated reticle is perfect for low light ir wooded areas where the crosshairs can get lost in the tangle.

If it is possible, I would like to see a bit more eye relief.

The size of the scope is the reason for this purchase.I put it on my SKS.The adjustable objective works great and mil-dot reticle is great.

I don't really need the color changing feature on the reticle.The center of the lens is sharp when focased but the outside edges ar very fuzzy.My biggist complaint is the lack of eye relief.I have to be careful not to crawl up on the scope.It smacked my shooting glasses sever times.I would caution people who are shooting a gun with a sharp recoil to look at a scope to find something else.

This scope would be fine on a low power air rifle or maybe a 22 bolt action.

This scope was purchased to install on a Crosman 1377 pistol for silhouette shooting. It exceeded my expectations for clarity and parallax correction. It's 100 yard max. AO fits with the short distances that air guns are used. The size is just right for a pistol. The eye relief does require a "claw" hold for shooting on a pistol, as it is about 3"

Tighter fitting front cover when installed on the sun shade. Masking tape solved the problem.

The windage and elevation adjustments are positive clicks. There is no setting to zero ability, once you have a setting.

Short scope that is economical and fits my RWS 34 Panther without any interference with the open sights. Only about 1/2" longer than stock RWS 4x32 scope. Because of the short eye relief there is no guessing when you are looking down the center of the scope and centered with your view. For the price, I would recommend this scope to anybody with an RWS 34 with open sights installed looking for a scope upgrade.

Focus seems to be off or the parallax dial is way off. Illumunated cross hairs are a bit to powerful and can blind you. Center of image is very sharp but it blurs quickly once you get out of the mil-dots at lower magnification.

Eye relief is closer to 2 inches than 3. I'm using the UTG droop compensating adapter that uses weaver scope rings and the scope is mounted farther back than it could using the gun's scope rail and I may have to hang it off the back for a more comfortable shooting position.

Very nice little scope. Good looking, good features and good price. Especially good for smaller guns or those with close loading ports.

Provide an option for a duplex reticle.

One piece base mounts will likely be too long for the short tube length of this scope. Be sure your proposed mounts are compatible.

Nice looking, solid. No need for tools to turn adjustments. Mil-dot and Illumination are clear and have adjustable brightness levels. Holds zero... ;)

Nothing. It really is nice. I'm very happy.

Also includes a 2" sunshade

Compact size, light weight

Nothing

I wanted this scope for along time. As soon as PA notified me that it was in stock, I bought two within five minutes. One is mounted on my MM tuned Bam B26. Used UTG dovetail to weaver adapter, mount it backwards, that is facing you. And leapers LOW weaver two piece mount. As this scope is short, you need these items to get the correct eye relief. Light in weight and compact, gets the job done. Number two is mounted on my PSP392. Get the AIR VENTURI intermount. Mount it backwards, over hanging part of the rail facing you. Leapers two screw medium height two piece mounts work real good. If you use the medium height four screw mounts, you will have to use the fourth slot from the end to mount the scope. Other wise you will not be able to open the bolt. No big deal, infact I prefer to mount it this way. I get better shooting repeatability (cheek weld). Now my Bengy will shoot just over half inch groups with eight pumps at ten meters. Light weight, small in size. It will never stress the solder joint, that is barrel to compression tube .
