I heard some good reports about them, but I didn't like the model that Iexamined on an air rifle in Cabela's Bargain Cave.
It was heavy, had an electronic reticle,butit didn't impress me.
I'll bet that they have somebetter models.
But based on what I saw,I don't think that I wouldbuy one ofthe less expensivemodels that's sold at Walmart.

I never heard of them. I looked at their site. Some impressive claims, but then when you're trying to sell them you are not going to tell their faults. What is their eye relief, length, weight, etc..

they seem on the heavy side. And those with the Red-Green reticles are probably held together with duct tape.

I think I will pick one up after my hunting season is over, about mid jan. by that time, wally world will be closing out muzzy stuff then. I will pick up some fpb's. I'll see how long the scope holds up with some 85 to 100grs triple 7 2f and some 350gr fpb's

maybe some 405grs humm, evil thoughts going thou my head right now.

UC, duct tape is a great.

I have never heard of them.. Nikon has always been good to me, might as well stay with them.

I have one on my 10/22(4-16x40), pretty damn good scope. very clear for the price. keeps zero good enough on my .22 I wouldn't trust it on my Savage 7mm. Nikon only goes on my deer guns.

thanks for the input on this.

I'll think about over next 3 months. may just get it to replace the BSA on my 96/22 or for my sks
