4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for the money, March 8, 2009

This review is from: AIM 10-40X50 Dual Illuminated Full Size Rangefinder Scope (Misc.)

Be warned from the start the scope doesn't come with the proper instructions and though the company will provide different instructions they too are lacking. If you understand MOA (minute of angle) and Mil Dot (milliradian) then even though the reticle is 4 dot not 5 it can be calibrated to work. 12X came close as a starting point for me as a power setting. Finding distance with this type of scope requires understanding the above, a known target dimension or a nearby reference point's size and some math (you can use a charts or a mil slide-rule if math isn't your thing). The reticle focus is found by taking off the rear popup lens cover. Don't try to focus it as the included instructions suggest or you will ruin the scope. The company needs to hire a writer with scope experience to re write both sets of their useless instructions. Even the best scopes are worthless if you don't know how to use them.
The optics are not what you would find in a Leupold but then you are spending less than 10% of what you would for that quality of scope. The optics are fair and the 1/8 moa click turret adjustment was a nice surprise over 1/4. If you are looking for a scope to plunk with, a scope to learn the basics beyond "its got cross-hairs" or you want something impressive setting atop your AR15 without doubling the value of the rifle this scope isn't a bad choice. Spend a little time on the net reading about scope basics, don't expect crystal clear optics at high power and you will enjoy this scope. I have, HH Self.

This is the second scope of this type that I have bought from Combat Optical. The first one was bought on 9-9-08 and was mounted on a Springfield M1A (the combo package). I shoot 100yds. with no problem. The scope is a good buy for the price. The second scope purchased on 4-28-09 was mounted on an AR-10. I shoot 100yds with no problem. I repeat it is a good scope for the price. I am pleased.
