is it accurate enough to white tail deer hunt and is it powerful enough what does the camo look like

Hunter, It is more than accurate to hunt and is powerful enough to hunt as well. If you put the ASIN: B00DSU5JQO into your search box, it will take you to a photo of the autumn camo. Best, Bruce

I have taken rabbits and skunks with this rifle. As long as you are not shooting from too far a distance, and your shot placement is good, you should have no problems taking down a ground hog. I shoot mine without the scope, as I was unable to get the scope to stay zeroed. You might also want to consider a .22 air rifle instead of a .177. Although you will not get the same fps, you will get better knock down power. Some of the newer .22 air rifles have a pretty respectable fps rating, if you are willing to spend a little more. I also recommend the Gamo Rocket pellets. I have experienced better accuracy and penetration with these pellets. Happy hunting! I have taken rabbits and skunks with this rifle.

I believe the sight is over kill for a shot gun, so in short it will work much more accurate than you will ever need for a shot gun....

I bought it as a gift for my grandson. I played around with it before I gave it to him. It only takes .177 Cal pellets. It depends on what you are hunting. .177 pellets may kill small rodents and birds at fairly close range. Crows, rats, squirrels, maybe small raccoons and possum. The most deadly and accurate are the pellets that are hollow pointed. The gun will jam if you load some pointed pellets in the magazine. If you are hunting something bigger, you need a gun (preferably, a rifle) that will shoot .22 cal. pellets. You need high velocity to get a clean kill on something larger than rodents. P-25 is only about 420 fps with a fresh Co2 cartridge. I bought it as a gift for my grandson. I played around with it before I gave it to him. It only takes .177 Cal pellets.

Have only shot out to 100 yards so far it's on a jp LRP-07 in 308 about an inch inch and a quarter with it rifle shoot less than 1/2 in with long range scope. I am using it for pigs not tiny groups so it depends on what you mean by accurate I am really happy with the setup. But it's not for a fine tune at long range

The pattern is real tree, nice Scope. I tuce down a buck and a doe. Good luck.

if there is an item ( my case a deer or a target ) it is very accurate but a friend was looking for a distance to a spot in a field and it had nothing to bounce the signal off so it wouldn't work. the item has to be vertical and substancial.

I mounted my Accushot scope on a Gamo Bull Whisper Extreme 177 caliber to test the strenght of the internals of the scope. After 750-1000 rounds it still is very accurate at 40 yards. After my test, I would not mind putting it on a 300 win mag. As a hunting scope in low light conditions it is good for the money. I like the lighted rec.

Scott, I just bought one and its the best I have used or seen for power and accuracy. I suggest you use a heavy pellet for max impact for hunting. Love this one. It will break the sound barrier if you oil the pellets.

I have a 3 dot scope and I have my bottom dot sighted in for 60 yards. I think you could go out further but I don't like to take chances of wounding an animal with a bolt and having to track it for miles. I mostly hunt elk with mine. You can practice at different distances and see how your accuracy holds up. If you have not bought a C5 yet I think you will like it.

I purchased it for my friend for the same reason and you can see a good 200 yards with this clear even with inflated off. If you want to look in thick brush and have an eye for what you are looking for this is perfect. Out friend a hunter as well has asked to use it for the sMe reason and went and bought himself the same model. Hope this helps. Ps no clouds spots or grainy ness to the scope at all its perfect for those not looking to spend thousands of dollars.

It's cheap and flimsy. I gave it away and got a lead sled. It will work, I used a 308 on it as well. It's worth what it cost i guess.

This scope ranging from 10 to 40 power is far to powerful for whitetail deer. I would suggest something like a 3 to 9 power or less from my experience. I lost a number of deer by having a 4 to 12 power scope. I often left it on 12 power and then had a quick shot chance at a whitetail and could not find the deer in the scope. I would think that a 2 to 6 power would be perfect. Also, the BARSKA 10-40X50 I ordered was of very poor quality and I returned it.

That's what I use it for. In fact, I killed a deer with it last night. It is very accurate.

False alarms are few. We have a pretty good population of White Tail Deer, that set it off once or twice a week. Leaves Rain,and wind, doesn't seem to bother it at all. The sensor is mounted to a tree in the edge of the woods. Works great there. Don't know about the snow, because in Eastern South Carolina not enough snow to mention.

I'm not 100% sure...Elk are pretty big, but I would imagine that shot placement and distance would be the two major factors when hunting bigger game. I believe a 150-175lb pull crossbow would have enough power to take down an Elk, at say no more than 25-30 yards in distance if you were able to get a good lung or heart shot...any other spot might make for a long tracking day, which would certainly be the same for a White tail...I only hunt White tail deer so that's just my personal amateur take on your question.

it is accurate and effective on small vermin to about 25 yards.for target shooting may be good for 50 yards
