Things I liked:

I just bought my second one of these. Guess I liked the first! My new one goes on my Beeman 1085 (the first is on a Ruger 10/22). I love the adjustable brightness for the reticle.

Things I would have changed:

The only thing I would appreciate is if there were an external indicator light to let me know I forgot to turn it off.

    Things I liked:

    Crystal clear and the price

    Things I would have changed:

    Wish it was an AO scope but for the money it great.

    Things I liked:

    Pretty clear optics... more than I expected. I really like the blue lighted crosshair. Changing magnification is smoother than I expected also.

    Things I would have changed:

    The only missing is it's not AO... but minor disagreement especially for this value point.

    What others should know:

    Nothing... I bought two!

    Rating 5.05.0 5.0

    Things I liked:

    The price is great for this scope. Everything feels and works well. Seems like it is well built for the price. Surprising quality for the price.

    Things I would have changed:

    The parallax is set for longer ranges. Seems to be about 100 yards. At 100 yards the image is sharp. The glass is pretty good. But thats too far for my gas piston and backyard plinking. I am going to buy a different scope with a shorter focal point or an adjustable objective for my air rifle. This scope might go on to one of my small caliber firearms instead.

    What others should know:

    If your use is for shorter ranges than 50 yards, then try looking for a scope with an adjustable objective or one with parallax set at around 35 yards.

    Things I liked:

    Well I just got this scope. Took it out of the package and I did not expect much. For the price I paid I did not expect a scope of this quality. It is very well made and is very clear. The blue reticle is very nice. It also came with rings and a 6 1/2 inch Picatinny Rail that I did no see in the specs. I have scopes that I paid several times the cost of this one and are not any better.

    Things I would have changed:

    Include Screws for the Picatinny rail.

    What others should know:

    At this price this won't last long!

    Things I liked:

    Great price excellent quality has the blue rectile come with end caps with the front cap tinted with visor to reduce glare full size scope looks good on my crossman dpms full auto nice fit

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing think it's a great scope at a great price high quality for a great price

    What others should know:

    I think it's a nice scope good quality and good price it alittle big if your only looking for that tactical look it maybe a little big...but I loved it and think it looks good on my crossman dpms would recommend it's functional not just looks

    Things I liked:

    Well great price for starters that's always a plus.but it is a quality well built scope come with the lens caps front cap being tinted to cut glare blue illuminated cross hairs just a real nice scope hard to believe the price highly recommend

    Things I would have changed:

    Maybe a little shorter in length but overall nothing it a nice scope

    What others should know:

    It's a great buy so if your looking for a full size scope you can't beat it it's a full size I know everyone starting to get things for that tactical look compact but overall the bigger one is better specially at the price of this scope love it highly recommended

    Things I liked:

    The lighted reticle was the main reason I bought this scope. The windage and elevation dials are that of an expensive scope. With that being said that was the other reason I bought this Swiss Arms 3-9/40mm scope the price that Pyramid Air had on it was great. It has a clear view, and pretty decent glass in it. For the price I paid I was really surprised at the quality of this scope. It's also very light weight. It holds zero so far, I mounted this one on my Ruger 10/22 I did change the rings to heavier ones.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would say better rings. Maybe some flip up scope covers. And some kind of indicator letting you know to turn off the light of the reticle.

    What others should know:

    It's a good scope for the price. Just remember to turn off the reticle light. I recommend if you're looking for a budget friendly scope then this is the one. This scope is 13.5" long it is for a longer rifle. Good scope by Swiss Arms buy it!

    Put this on a Daisy 880 for my grandson. Not real good for really close shots because it is set for 25 yards.

    Solid feel, holds settings well

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing I can think of

    What others should know:

    I bought this scope to mount on a newly purchased Diana .22 Stormrider Gen 2 and it was a perfect match. Once I figured out the power curve on the rifle I was able to get zeroed easily and I was putting rounds into each other on a regular basis. I'm very happy with such a great scope for such a low price.

    For the money, this is an Excellent scope! If you buy it, you will like it!

    Things I would have changed:

    Better mounting rings! The two that come with the scope are OK, and they work, but I swapped those out for a heavy-duty pair of rings!

    Things I liked:

    clear optics and well built. the lighted scope is easy to line up

    Things I would have changed:

    The mounts did not work in my rail so I had to purchase a different mount

    What others should know:

    The mount problem was my problem I assumed it would work on my rifle I did not read the entire description

    Rating 5.05.0 5.0

    Things I liked:

    Seems well built for the price. Not the best glass, but not terrible either. I've had more expensive scopes with worse glass/features. Lighted reticle is nice for late afternoon plinking and pest control. Currently have it mounted on my Umarex Torq (break-barrel springer) and dialed in for 25yds. So far, so good.

    Things I would have changed:

    Would be better with parallax adjustment.

    What others should know:

    Make sure you have a good mount if you're putting it on a springer. I haven't had any problems with drift/shift (yet).

    Things I liked:

    Of course the price was very good. I have not given them extensive use but so far they are satisfactory. Only item to note is that they all required two complete turns to the right and up

    Things I would have changed:

    nothing

    What others should know:

    Good buy

    Things I liked:

    I like the variety of steps for reticle lighting - 7 lit plus off. The large 40mm diameter captures lots of light. The Weaver mounts worked well, though I soon moved it to a gun with 3/8" dovetails.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wish it would remind me when I forget to turn the reticle off! I would have preferred snap-up type lens covers - having something loose is a great way for me to forget them. I prefer rings with redundant mounting bolts, but these worked fine. When I put it on my 1077 I had to get different rings (PY-A-2601) I selected them over other options for redundant bolts.

    What others should know:

    It's not often you find a scope this good, this inexpensive. I'd give it a 6-STAR rating for Value!
