This scope is everything the other two reviews said, expect I feel it's necessary to point out one important detail. The mount-rings that come with the scope are very narrow and therefore not compatible with Weaver or Picatinny rails, so make sure to purchase up a set of new mount rings online or at your local sporting goods store if you have a rifle that utilizes either of the two mentioned rail types. Other than that, this is an excellent scope with great clarity and durability for the price.

This particular scope is a cost effective way to add accuracy to your rimfire rifle. The multi-x feature is awesome and lets you adjust the magnification from 3 all the way up to 9x. It comes with mount rings which is also a big plus. Although not stated as included, the scope also comes with covers for the lenses and a lens cloth. Highly recommended.

I mounted this scope on my Ruger 10/22. The lense is very clear out to 100 yards at 9x but it is useful to have either a reactive steel target or a glow target to help you see your hits. At this price point, it is hard to beat this scope.

Update (05/26/2010):
It's been a while since I've had this on my 10/22 and my impressions remain the same. The scope has held up very well and has survived numerous drops and bangs. Even after all of the abuse I've put it through, it retained its zero just fine. For this price point, I can't ask for a better quality scope.

[UPDATE 07/25/2011]
Scope continues to hold up well and has not lost its zero since I've installed it. I would consider this the best bang for the buck scope if you're sticking to 100 yards for a plinking gun.

I mounted this on my Henry lever action .22. It fits the Henry, which is pre-grooved for rings, very nicely. I didn't have to get new rings nor take off the iron sights, which was a big plus for me.

I am not an expert on glasses so I won't (and can't) get too technical. Lens very clear at all magnifications. I was a little surprised nothing was included for "clicking" the elevation/windage, but my pocket knife did the trick quite nicely anyway. My local indoor range only goes to 50 yards and it took me about maybe 15 minutes to get it sighted in pretty close to what I wanted. I was shooting dime sized 5-shot patterns in no time (from a sitting position, haven't done prone or off-hand yet).

All in all, I doubt you can find a better bargain on Amazon than this guy if you need a cheap yet efficient rimfire scope. 100% recommended.

comes with scope rings, convenient see-thru lens covers (at some zoom levels you can leave them on while shooting), adjustable 3x-9x zoom. I don't know how you could beat the price. Im using it on a mini 14 (with the factory ruger scope rings), which might be a bad idea due to the significant recoil (which .22 rimfire ammo does not have), but so far its been nice to have. I'll put it on my 10/22 if it gets knocked out of alignment by the recoil (thats what i'm expecting).

Finally got to use this scope last weekend for the first time on my Marlin Model 60 at a 25 meter range. As this was the first scope I had ever used, it took me quite a while to sight in correctly. I don't think this was any fault of the scope, and more of a lack of skill on my part. However, once sighted, it was a blast to use. At max zoom, 9x, I was able to easily read playing cards on a paper target from 25m and shoot the same card consistently over and over again. The zoom functions very nice as the collar you turn to adjust the zoom is not soo easy to turn as a slight bump will affect it, but not impossible to turn either. Just the right resistance. Targets looked bright and clear throughout the zoom range. Although I will note that at 9x things did seem a little less sharp than at the lower zoom levels. As I said before, I was still able to read a playing card just fine at 9x, so its not that bad. Overall, I would certainly recommend this scope and must say that it makes shooting my .22 a thousand times more fun.

I purchased this for my Ruger 10/22 carbine. Installed easily. Sighted in with no problems. Optics clear. Adjustable magnification is great for us whose vision is not what it once was. I would definitely recommend this rifle scope to my comrades.

Lets face it, its not worth putting an expensive scope on a .22 rifle. I put this on my Remington 597 plinker rifle and it works great. I shot a few hundred rounds this last weekend at 50 yards and had no problems with the scope. For [...] bucks, its a steal! The scope is built well and comes with a wrench for the scope rings. The scope is easy to sight in as well. You can't really use your fingers, but you can use a spent casing or coin to turn it.

I found the scope pretty useful on my .22 rifle (a Marlin 60). After sighting it in it worked wonderfully. For the price it's great. The adjustable magnification ( 3x-9x ) is useful. The only con is at 9x the focus is not as clear as in the lower settings. Yet that is hardly a bother since you can still see your target with no difficulty. I'd recommend it for a .22 rimfire rifle.

I was surprised how large this scope is. It actually looks a little funny on my Henry 001. But for the most part, it works great, and at the price, I don't feel you can really go wrong.

I can't give it five stars, however, because the description isn't completely accurate. The scope is supposed to have "1/4 M.O.A. fingertip windage and elevation adjustments." You actually need a pocket knife, screwdriver or at least a coin (a car key might work, too) to make any windage or elevation adjustments. This is fine for static shooting at a range, but if you need to make a quick adjustment, you're out of luck.

I would also add that the lens cloth is worthless and frays easily, and the covers are a little on the cheap side, too.

But, for the price, it's really hard to go wrong. The scope works well, I just wish it was easier to make on-the-spot windage adjustments.

BTW, it was a cinch to zero the scope.
