The last time this scope came up in a thread I coundnt help myself and ended up trading some Cabelas point and a few bucks for one, and I have to say I think its a great scope for the money.Crystal clear and has been consistant with holding settings on the Accura I have it on, as was found out by a doe Sunday.

Not to be a party pooper on this thread, but I had one, and honestly I didn't like it at all. It seemed like a decent scope (for $50), but I just didn't care for it. I guess I'm just used to higher quality optics, I don't know. Something about it when I looked through it just didn't work for me.

Well I am glad I am not the only one, it was not to bad for a cheap scope but with the loads I use cheap scope do not seem to last very long, in fact two more expensive ones have lost there hold on there innards, the only one that constantly holds up for me for more than 2 years is the Nikon, they have never fail me yet.

I'm with WV Hunter and Lemoyne on this one.
I bought a 3x10x40 Powderhorn last February ($60.94 with tax and shipping). Seemed like a nice scope. Put it on my X7 for one range session. For some reason it just didn't suit me. I took it off at the end of that session and put the 4X ProDiamond back on.
Maybe it's a size thing, and I tend to favor the simple and short 4X. Anyway, the like new Powderhorn is sitting in my closet in its original box waiting for another try some day. My kids will probably find it there some day when I go to those piney woods in the sky.
