    Things I liked:

    Everything. Strong and sturdily built, Every feature imaginable, and everything works right. An engineering work of art that performs superbly.

    Things I would have changed:

    Offer this scope without the illuminated reticle. I most likely will never use it and it just adds to the weight and complexity (and cost) of the scope, although I would still buy it at the advertised price without the illumination feature..

    What others should know:

    The included lens covers really just get in the way more than they are useful. I prefer standard slip-ons with elastic cords. Actually, I am most successfully using a scope bikini in place of the flip-up covers.

    Things I liked:

    Very well built. Like the optics, very clear. Love the Mil-Dot cross hairs. Illumination is also pretty cool.

    Things I would have changed:

    None so far...

    What others should know:

    Goes perfect with the RWS 34P and a UTG Scope Mount Base. Perfect fit.

  • Rating 4.04.0 4.0

    Rating 3.03.0 3.0

    Things I liked:

    Clear optics, easy to focus.

    Things I would have changed:

    Front cap that you can remove instead of flipping it up. It bumps into the RWS Diana 34 when rotating it.

    What others should know:

    Do not use the Leapers Accushot 1-Pc Mount as the Scope is too close to the RWS Diana 34. Instead get the UTG Scope Mount Base.

    Things I liked:

    I can see much better with this than the 3-9x50. I don't have to be so close to the objective. It lights up well and zeroed in in just a few tries.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    It take a little effort to find the correct height of the adjustment knob to get the click.. Know that if you are not having a click then there is no change in the scopes windage or elevation.

    Things I liked:

    It stays zeroed, comes with sunshade and lens covers which is very nice to have.

    Things I would have changed:

    The back lens cover seems to fall off easy.

    What others should know:

    Great scope for the price. In my opinion its better than centerpoint.

    Things I liked:

    Value..Quality

    Things I would have changed:

    I didn't care for the light reflectio inside the sight tube when the recetical is turned on.

    What others should know:

    This is a neat little scope for the money.......I took it off my RWS and put it on my Ruger 10/22 Target Tactica. Good Scope :)l

    Rating 5.05.0 5.0

    Things I liked:

    Very good scope. Great color swap and easy set up. Very good optics. Unlocking to zero is a trick but after you master it you will like it.

    Things I would have changed:

    nothing

    What others should know:

    Read the instructions prior to using to get the hang of setting up for zeroing the scope when shooting and for the ZEROING of the dials

    Things I liked:

    Excellent optics, holds focus on zoom and seems to hold zero very well.

    Things I would have changed:

    Loose the lens covers they just seems to get in the way and the adjustment locking system is a little inconvienient requiring a allen wrench but once it's zeroed it held

    Things I liked:

    I like the mil dots. works well when you change weights of pellets. You can learn what the different sight pattern is for different pellets.

    Things I would have changed:

    For my Ruger I had to pull the front cover and put on the sun shield to get enough clearance.

    What others should know:

    This is a good sight for the money. It was easy to sight in and holds its zero well.

    Things I liked:

    Well made.

    Things I would have changed:

    Lens covers are in the way. I will probably take them off.

    What others should know:

    This scope was an exchange for a RWS defective scope. Pyramid replaced the scope, no questions asked. Great exchange policy. Sometimes they are slow to respond to e-mails, but over all it was a good experience.

    Things I liked:

    I am very impressed by this scope. It is very well made, sturdy, good quality. The sight is very clear in all lighting conditions. Has lock down windage and elevation. Windage and elevation click every 1/4 inch. The red/green illumination is bright and crisp and the scope also comes with 2 spare batteries for it. The lens caps are flip open. The AO and zoom is easy to use. You can zero the windage and elevation. Comes with a cleaning cloth too.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wish there was blue illumination along with the red and green. Better instructions for using the adjustment lines for windage and elevation.

    What others should know:

    When you unlock the turrets to adjust the windage and elevation, look for a little line on the turret to pop up. When you see one line, you can adjust. If you see two lines, you can zero the knobs. You know when you are using adjustment line One when the knobs click when rotating. It explains this in the manual under "adjustment lines." As a newbie to scopes, I was confused why my sights were not adjusting until I figured this out. Also, I used the 1-pc leapers high profile mount with this on my silent cat.

    very clear

    Things I would have changed:

    Switch for the cross hairs sometimes does not make up good and you have to play with it a little. Not a big deal

    What others should know:

    I had to shim the back up to zero but I think this was in my gun.. No regrets.

    Things I liked:

    Fairly new to p[linking but this is my third scope and I was surprised by The Clarity Superb, Thumb Zoom, Hitting a dime at 75 ft? Not even a challenge.

    Things I would have changed:

    MY ILLUMINATED DIAL WAS FROZEN! and Pyramid's customer service were excellent in setting up a replacement.

    What others should know:

    This scope was not heavy but she is long, the Sunshade rendered useless because you have to remove it for every reload. I would buy this AO 3-9x40 again

    Things I liked:

    Love the scope, I use it on a gamo pellet gun and 2 mdl 60 22's

    Things I would have changed:

    it needs a auto shutoff on the lights

    Rating 5.05.0 5.0

    Things I liked:

    So far so good on this big scope. I have one on a Kodiak .25 and a RWS-36 in .22 cal. Illuminated reticle works fine and is not too bright, coming with several intensity settings. Good adjustments with the extra large knobs. Focus is good and optics are bright.

    Things I would have changed:

    Put the illumination knob on the back of the scope and add sidewheel focus. Everything else is fine.

    What others should know:

    Although not difficult the reticle adjustment is different than a standard scope. Read the instructions before messing with the crosshair adjustments. Once you understand the various functions of the knobs - it goes a lot easier. If you use a medium height mount with this scope you will need to get bikini scope covers as the provided covers are thick and will hit the gun and get in the way when adjusting the focus

    Things I liked:

    Nice scope with excellent adjust-ability. Great optics and illuminated reticles are cool. Nice clear image.

    Things I would have changed:

    Life expectancy not very good on first one. After about 200 shots, scope went completely fuzzy and could not be focused at any distance. Folks at Pyramid Air were great though and sent our replacement immediately. Hoping replacement will hold up better.

    What others should know:

    This scope is as nice or better than many others at twice the price.
