Does it magnify your target like a monocular? What is the effective range for deer/small game? Is it waterproof/fog proof? Does it have crosshairs?

I haven't used it, bought it for a professional guide in Africa. Has a little square in the center to center the target with. Is 6x magnification, if I recall right, so does magnify the target. with that magnification, I'd put 400 yds, in a real steady hold, hand braced on something at 400 yds..maybe a bit less. everything is fog proof these days, and probably water proof,if you're talking rain..don't know about scuba diving with it. you might want to go to the Optics Planet site, as they have the breakdown on those things on their site.

The magnification is fixed at 6x. The effective range is 550 yds. Not waterporoof, it has a case and I've got waterproof pockets. It has a target acquisition recticle, that looks like an X. It is very, very easy to use. And is a Nikon. I am completely satisfied.

Yes, it does magnify your target, advises of the distance, and has crosshairs. It is designed to read through small brush, I have used it effectively in the timber to 50 yards; may work further, but that is my need. Not positive about waterproof, it has a case and I have had no fog issues from a 70 degree home out to 20 degree weather.

yes it does 6x monocular & multi-layer coating for bright & clear Images. what it say's is RANGE 5-500m. (6-550yd) Distant target priority mode is employed. Its says its rainproof. & yes it has crosshairs I cant help on the deer and small game sorry. also has a long eye relief hope this helps check out DVOR too. Good Luck John

6 power monocular...probably further than you would want to shoot....unproven, but stated by manufacturer: yes/yes, yes

I bought this scope for basic birdwatching, and hunting use. Landscape features a few miles away? I wouldn't expect much from it. I would go for something higher power than 16x for that. An inexpensive spotting scope? I'd look into this: Enjoydeal Multifunctional High Power MONO Multi-Coated 15-50X21 Single-tube Telescope MonocularTelescope Black

the sightmark LoPro is shock proof to a piont I've noticed that with light impact the sight stays true, however having the sight mounted to my rifle while trekking through the woods of south Texas and occasionally having my equipment hit a tree limb, branch and falling on my ass once the sight preformed as good as you can expect for a hundred dollar piece of equipment holding fare at .5 MOA at about 70 +/- meters. as for waterproof, I don't know and i wouldn't want to find out, like said I live in south texas. I'm so far south Mexico is my backyard.

I mainly bought it for hog, but have not had the opportunity to go deer hunting yet. Although, I plan on going soon (this year)! As far as it being good for deer hunting, I read 100s of reviews before settling on this one and saw many cases where people had taken down decent size deer with it. I would think you need to be decent at tracking as I doubt you will drop it where it stands, but once you get it sighted in and can make a fairly accurate kill shot, it shouldn't be hard to find. Also, I did purchase some broadheads to go with it as well. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions and I will answer them if I can. ;)By the way, I assembled it in under 10 minutes. Very Easy!

It is a smaller scope by scale, lighter, and has less magnification. It is a very accurate optic considering the price paid &lt;$80 and I do not believe it meant for strictly close range. It's quite accurate even at 100yds considering the magnification.

I'm very happy with mine and close range - 25-50 yards. Laser and dot seem to hold zero well. Have not tried with a magnifier but good idea!

I use the scope for target shooting. Low power vey clear at 25 yards, but gets a little blurry as you increase power at that range. At 100 yards all powers are very clear for general sighting. Have't tried on small objects past 25 yards tho.

Yes it is. The 2-7x32 has a very wide field of view at 2x and at 7x has enough magnification for any reasonable longer shots. Most of the deer I have shot have been at the low end of the scope's magnification range, even shots beyond 200 yards. If you hunt in brushy areas, this scope is ideal.

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.

BLUF: No. This device is simply a magnifier. It has no crosshair, and is supposed to be used in conjunction with other optics, such as a holographic or reflex sight. You'll need to get a low profile riser to use any sights with this device, as it sits a little high and does not provide for any adjustment. I tried to pair this with a Sightmark Ultra Shot sight, and I couldn't see the majority of it.

Yes it is, and it works best between 15x and 35x. The higher magnifications have issues with clarity due to imperfections and debris. Also, this scope doesn't work particularly well for people with glasses, like me. So for distances over 150m, or people with glasses. I wouldn't recomend this. Otherwise its solid.For clarification: if you want to see if you hit. Sure 500m is possible with shoot and see targets. If your checking shot groups 150m is the limit.

I do have one on a round sight of your caliber and it thus far seems to be working okay in practice. Will be using it hopefully as I go elk hunting next week. It seems fairly reliable on my targets.

Yes.the why I see it is,this is a crosshairs first,red dot second optic for me,although both work flawlessly,I mainly purchased this scope to use the crosshairs and really only use the dot in lowlight situations.FYI,the dot is quite bright in daylight hours.

According to EOTech, it is somewhat waterproof. They say it can be submerged to 10ft. depth. Mine has yet to fog up. I would imagine some rain wouldn't bother it if it can be submerged to 10 feet safely. I love my 512, and I highly recommend adding a low cost slide to side magnifier. It makes it so you can use it as a red dot holographic, and have the option of using it like a scope. I use one purchased right here on Amazon, the Sightmark 7x Tactical Reflex/Holographic Slide to Side Magnifier.

Its best for 50 to 75 yards . Gets a little blurry out to 100 but you can still see the target.

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.

Depending on your bow I sight first reticle at 30yrds. Then ten yrds for all the rest. Great scope I am hunting with it this morning. I have killed three deer with it this year.
