Is it worth paying the extra $10 for the 3-9x40 scope?

Maybe, but depends on what gun you are planning on putting it on. If you are putting it on a conventional powder burning rifle and shooting long distances it would probably have some value. If putting it on a PCP air rifle it could have some value as you will be shooting longer distances than a springer or gas piston. If you are putting it on a springer or gas piston I would say probably not worth the added value. I was shooting my Crosman Vantage .22 NP today with my Hammers 3-9x32AO and was again amazed at how nice this scope is. I am going to buy one for my Black Ops and my Hatsan 85.

Wrong answer I first gave, I know nothing about the 3-9x40 scope .The 3-9 x32 Hammer has been a great little scope on my pellet rifle .I'm not a expert here on scopes.However my scope is clear, it zeroed easy and it has stayed zeroed on my pellet rifle. It works for me..

That was the same question I asked myself. So I bought both. The answer is yes the 3-9 X 40 scope provides a better image at low level light conditions. That is the scope I use on my gun.

Personally I bought the 32mm scope so I could mount it low, directly on the dovetail,and it should weigh less.

I would say this scope is a bit of overkill for the 10/22, but you could mount it with the correct rings. The magnification on this scope would be good out to at least 400yds and I rarely shoot a 22 past 100yrds. I would suggest this same scope in a 3x9x40 and stick with the Nikon because they are the best for the money.

In my opinion you need a better range of optics. There is very little light gathering ability difference between x40 and x42. I would recommend the 8x40 and 10x50's. I know, the 10x50 are heavier but they also are better in low light. You never know when you are going to see something that is a once-in a lifetime occurence. I think it is worth the weight.

In my opinion, yes. 4x12 is great for doing bench top shooting but in the field it is real tough to spot game in timber or low light with a 4x12 power scope at its lowest setting even. I took mine off and replaced it with a two power by 7. That is why the 3x9's are so popular. It is a great balance of magnification. Again - in my opinion. A lot depends on what you want that rifle to do and where you plan on using it. I have found that almost all of my shots are 300yds or under and that I can do with 2-4 power setting on all dear and bear size game.

I believe the clarity is better. I like the quick throw lever and the scope looks better on an ar than the mtac in my opinion. Ironically i bought this scope to replace a burris mtac. As far as the main benefit goes, the ffp reticle, do your own research to determine if its the thing for you. From a tactical perspective ffp is the way to go. Bottom line, I love it, and would def recommend.

Hi Charles, No, you would have too much magnification. I would get a 10x 20x 40x scope that is used for coins and other solid objects. they are also usually less expensive :)

Not that I can find with a quick googling. Of course, I cannot find such specific conditions of review for others either. 9x32 is a pretty rare power. Clarity is not too specific, but I assume you could break it into contrast and sharpness, both pretty good for the money here. If you are seriously into scouting game you probably want something a bit better, though. Zen-Ray 8x42, Vortex Solo 8x36 , something like that. The main issue with this is the tight focuser ring. Contrast is very good, sharpness good. (better than the BG binoculars). I'd back off to 7x or 8x for scouting and spend a bit more.

No, the scope is a good scope, very clear, very bright, and nice viewing area, you'll be satisfied with it I'm sure.

It does come bundled with the centerpoint 3-9x40 scope and sling. I got mine refurbed so the sling was not included. But if you're getting one new, you should be good.

I have the 380 and it really is an awesome crossbow which I think is plenty fast. The only con I have is the 260 lb draw weight. Considering that I just don't see any good reason to go with the 405. Before I got the 380 I was thinking maybe it would be worth getting the 405 for the updated scope's low light capabilities but I am definitely satisfied with the one I got. I could easily still use it a half hour after deer hunting closes.

Yes. I have the 4.5 StarBlast and it is a great beginning scope. Add some filters and 2.5x Barlow and it's even better.

Yes, I can and do shoot easily at 10yds. I is very clear. You do have to account for elevation if you "0" at 50yds. I too would not spend the money on the illuninated scope. It is not noticable in even cloudy days.

I have their 3x9x40 on my Marlin 30-30 and i have not had any issues with it love it in fact. If you just want the scope then fine, but if you want to use a see through mount and still have the ability to use your iron sights I would suggest going with the 40mm instead of the 50mm. i run the 40 with the truglo back up sights and it is perfect for Michigan deer. sights are bright in low light. I have the sights dialed in at 50 yards and the scope dialed in at 100 so close in I can use my sights for quick shots and the scope is set for long range. links to the sights and the scope mount, I would get them all and it is a really easy install you can do it yourself in about 10 min http://www.amazon.com/TruGlo-Firesight-Fiber-Marlin-Golden/dp/B0028M96GW/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418324438&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=marlin+tru+glo http://www.amazon.com/Kwik-Site-KS-336-Marlin-Rifle-Ring/dp/B000N8LCO2/ref=sr_1_6?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1418324800&sr=1-6&keywords=marlin+336+scope+mounts

It's ok for what it is and the cost, I think a better option is to go with a standard scope and a set of rings to match. If you could find a Tasco 4x32 for around $20 that would be best in my opinion.

Also I think you can look up bdc conversions on Google. Its a great scope for the money. I've owned quite a few rifle and scope setups and this one on my tikka t3 has been my favorite and most useful across the board so far. Haven't found a use for the illuminated reticle yet but its cool to have.

Yes, it's a decent scope for the money. There's better out there, you can get more by dropping the laser and getting an ncstar or bsa scope. Some utg stuff is ok too.
