is it a good scope for hunting chipmunks and stuff like that

Yes! I used to have a BUNCH of squirrel in my bird feeders. Problem solved.

The scope is sufficient from 10 to 50 yards, it does have an adjustable objective. I eventually upgraded to an adjustable parallax. I have shot out to 50 yards with good accuracy and power. At 10 to 25 yards it will take down a squirrel with a well placed shot (head/shoulder chest). At 50 yards is blow threw soda cans filled with water.

I can tell you this scope has done a great job for me. I have used it hunting antelope in Wyoming! The closest was just under 650M that I shot from a mound overlooking a very large range. The wind was crossing from left to right and I adjusted for windage and elevation and it only took one shot for a 14in pronghorn. I hope this will make your choice.

Im guessing you want to use it for varmint hunting. It would work good on any rifle used for that purpose and it's a descent scope for the money. I have mine on a Savage B-mag 17WSM, and it works great.

Depends what you are using it for. If you are hunting or shooting at a range of 100-200 yards it would be goodFor closer range stuff I like eotechs I'd also recommend nikon prostaff N series scopes 3x9 40 if the cost isn't an issue. The P series pro staff are nice too, N is nicer glass though

The rifle is definitely powerful enough to ethically kill squirrels and chipmunks, but you will definitely struggle with the accuracy, and you will need to practice the 'artillery hold', but this is the same for any break barrel spring or nitro piston powerplant rifle. A good scope with AO (adjustable objective) will help tremendously. The package scope is junk. I actually paid more for my scope than I did the rifle. A decent budget scope is the Hammers 3-9x32. A good clean/deburr and tune will also help with the accuracy and consistency. These rifles sometimes need hundreds of shots, if not a thousand to break in - but that can also be when the internals begin to wear out. I've tuned my rifle with a vortek pg2 kit, and am now re-breaking it in. The original piston seal failed after about 1.5k shots.

Yes, the optics on the scope are excellent. I think the main thing youwould be concerned with is having the right mounting for the scope.

Yes I use the scope for watching wild life also birds in the Sequim Wa. area.

it's big but if that's not an issue this scope would be very good for birding

Personally, I think it would be very good on that rifle. It's a clean, simple reticle and the center dot would be fine enough for squirrels out to 50 and target out to 100. The illumination of the center dot would also be helpful in dark woods. I recommend getting a good mount, and as light a mount as possible.I recommend the AeroPrecision extended mount. It is only 3 ounces. if you are patient can probably find one for 60-70$.Hope this helps.

the eye relief is good. you should be able to look through it with out glasses. It s good spotting scope for the price. I bought the camera adaptor for my Canon EOS for it. I like it.

I added this to a rifle I sold to Valley gun...a while back, I never used it for night hunts for wild boar. I would not assume that such features existed powerful on this scope. It was a very inexpensive buy, look for a laser application whether selling or giving it as a gift or you use it.

Depends on how big the object is. The spotting scope is OK but if I had my time back I might have opted for a better one. At that range you might get about a foot in diameter viewing, never really tried anything that close. Wish I could be of more help.

yes, it is designed for shotgun turkey hunting, when the head and waddle fit in the diamond you know there in range. I own 2 of these scopes and love them, had one since 92, its held up well. Not made for deer hunting.

I don't hunt but I use mine for target archery. If you range on the animal first then set your site, you should be good.

Yes. The scope works equally as well in sunlight through a pinhole in the cover. We love this scope for night. hunting or just wildlife viewing.

I bought it so I can spot my 1000 yard shots with a .50 BMG. It works pretty well for that, though you definitely are pushing the limits of the scope. With something big like a .50 and a target that has good contrast, it is usable. It's not a Swarovski; you're not going to get perfection at 1k yards.
