I shot a 4-16x44 that came with on a Howa .223. The scope itself was clear held a tight group but my only fear with a cheap scope is that it won't last like a brand name and I am not sure if you can send it back to the manufacture to get fixed. For a scope at that price you never know what your going to get. If you decide to buy it post how you like it and the good and bad points about it. I like to read about products from regular people and not paid professionals.
