Things I liked:

The price was good. It has performed well. I put this on my first PCP the Maximus and am loving the match up. The clearity is good. The tracking of the turrets is positive and am able to make fine adjustments. When I bought this there was no reviews and I could not find any information on the web other than I believe that Air Vanturi imports them. I am pleased that I did pick this scope. The only thing that one could want more of is field of view, but for the money this is good. Would love to have bumper sticker with the logo (the mantis over the scope) to put on the truck.

Things I would have changed:

For the price. Nothing.

What others should know:

I would like to know were the mil dots are true at. So that I may use some of the apps like Chairgun to help with longer shots and incline.

Vertical range is extremely limited. My purchase turned out to be a very expensive mistake for me. I usually don't give 1 star reviews but I am very, very sorry I bought this item based on the spec's and reviews given in the description.

Things I would have changed:

No comment

    Things I liked:

    A durable scope that withstands magnum springer recoil, and holds a zero.

    Things I would have changed:

    Not a thing.

    What others should know:

    I bought the Mantis 4-12x40 in a package deal with the Diana 350 Magnum in .22 cal. Around 500 rounds through the 350 and the Mantis is holding up perfectly. So far it's an excellent springer rated budget AO scope. Great glass for the money.

    Rating 3.03.0 3.0

    Things I liked:

    Good scope so far. It has worked well enough that when offered on sale, I purchased a second one.

    Things I would have changed:

    The clicks to adjust the elevation and windage are vague. It is difficult to count the clicks.

    What others should know:

    Mounting this model did not work well with my Hatsan 95 .25 cal. The scope is so large and heavy, it broke the separate factory scope stop installed on the gun. Bent it up into an accordion then sheared off the fasteners holding it down. However, it has worked well on my Diana 34 with the one piece RWS mount.

    Things I liked:

    I like the reticle and the turrets. It seemed quite nice at first.

    Things I would have changed:

    The quality, even at the expense of price.

    What others should know:

    I got this scope at part of a bundle. It seemed fine until today. Today, whilst shooting my rather new Diana 350 Magnum, the view was blocked by something inside the scope. I suspect the erector tube is messed up. Upon further inspection I noticed it rattled as well. I think I am done with the Mantis line of optics. I will be contacting Pyramid as soo as possible for warranty coverage.

    Things I liked:

    Holds zero well, great FOV, love that AO goes down to 5 yards, perfect for pesting, glass seems clear & nice.

    Things I would have changed:

    Clicks on scope adjustment a little mushy, glare is bad on this had to purchase sun shade

    What others should know:

    Works great on my Benjamin Maximus either off hand or from my bench and a bipod... cannot speak on durability never tried on my magnum springer.

    Rating 5.05.0 5.0

    Things I liked:

    Purchased from PA. Mounted this on my Beeman R9 and have to say it has held zero for 1500 shots so far. Very easy to zero. I use the Mantis 1" scope mounts and they are very sturdy. I only paper punch at 45" in my backyard range but have shot it out to 35 yards, at times. If Mantis scopes are ever manufactured with increased magnification, i.e., 4-16-44MM or 4-16-50MM I will the be the first in line to buy one!

    Things I would have changed:

    None really.

    What others should know:

    The reticle is not etched. Mil-dots are very easy to use for holdover.
