[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 774239, member: 229"] That scope's got a lot of goodies on it for the price. 1/4 MOA target knobs with lock Mil-Dot reticule (with, quite frankly, more room in the reticule than several better manufacturers' scopes) Side adjustable focus Illuminated reticule (I've heard others had better luck than I did). Comes with flip-up covers that are better than several other scope-makers out there - I actually didn't have to upgrade to the Butler Creeks on this one. I've got one for my son's 10/22 (it was on my Remington 700 before I upgraded scopes). Granted, I won't use the target knobs once I get them zeroed in (to be fair, I've not tested them out to see if they are true/repeatable). The first time I put it on my Remington (only a .308), the illumination went out on the reticule. It did what it needed to do until I could afford to upgrade (I was embarassed that my base cost more than 2x what the scope did - hell the rings were more expensive than the scope). Glass isn't nearly as clear as my Falcon Optics, or a decent grade Leupold, or Burris. Honestly though, it wasn't too much worse off than the Millet TRS-1 of my friends (I wouldn't rate it as nearly as rugged as the Millet, don't get me wrong). Relief, paralax, and FOV are pretty typical of a sub-$100 scope, so don't think you're getting anything more than you are. Honestly, I wouldn't put one on a caliber greater than .22lr, and I wouldn't abuse it at all. I wouldn't trust the knobs to be true, but mine held Zero for the most part as long as I didn't adjust them in the middle of a shooting session (I still checked and adjusted as necessary at the beginning of each range trip). Get a Super-Sniper from SWFA, or upgrade to a Meuller or Millet if you need to stay that cheap and are looking for all of those features. Look for used scopes on ARFCOM or Snipers Hide (I've got a Falcon Optics Menace and love it for the price). [/QUOTE]
