Is this scope acceptable for looking at metal grain structures in the 100X-400X range?

If you would be able to make it work, possibly. We are waiting for our 3 rd replacement now. It usually works for few days then lcd panel stops responding. Good advise look somewhere else!

I have not actually done this and I work in a steel mill and know what you are looking for , so as long as your sample is properly prepared I don't think you should have a problem. The microscope is capable of the magnification range and the screen resolution is good enough however I think you will need to use an alternative light source, the light above the stage isn't great. Also your sample is going to have to be relatively thin to insure that you have the room to focus.

Most certainly! You should have absolutely NO issues in viewing objects in that range.

Oh definitely. As long as the sight image is not in a radically different spot that is not lined up with the magnifier, it should be fine. Heck, I have my set about six inches forward of my magnifier (would have to wear glasses to shoot, otherwise) and it works fine.

I have a hard time seeing 5.56 holes on Shoot'n See targets at 100 yds with this scope. I haven't shot out to 500, but I wouldn't recommend this scope.

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.

It appears to be the case. NO magnification, and with a nice Zombie sticker on the side. These type of reticules are not for extreme accuracy. They are great for close combat but not for longer range accuracy. I ended up with a Pentax 4 - 12 x 40 scope that is dead on! For what they can be used for they do good job.

Have not sighted in using this scope. Just used it to check out land. I would say, though @ 100 yards it would be ok. Hoping to use it this weekend or next to sight @ 100 & 200 yds.

I have only used the scope out to 100 yds. and I am satisfied, but I think it would be hard to see .223 holes at further distances.

I shoot factory a d reloaded 55gr fmj's, haven't done much testing beyond 100yds, but what I have done has been accurate. Scope is clear and focuses well throughout magnification range and has had no issue holding zero.

Hi Bob, the good news is that you generally need to be concerned with parallax settings when using highly magnified scopes, at long ranges, in situations requiring ultra-precision (think completion targets). For a better explanation than I can give see the following http://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/what-is-parallax-2.php

Image clarity is good out to about 150 but 300 would be questionable. I use it for deer hunting out to about 100-120 with good success.

Ryan, I think this scope should work well for you for that application. I think you will want a sine/square wave signal generator of some sort as well, so you can get a periodic signal you can see clearly on the scope.

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 just came back from elk hunting with this scope mounted on a 300 Weatherby mag. I sited it in at 100 yes. Dropped my animal at 225. Scope held true to the test. I have no complaints.

I can't truthfully say. i can tell you that I returned the scope due to poor image quality.

I'm not sure, but I found out from Hornady the resolution is no better than + or - .1 grain, so I shipped mine back and bought a Hornady balance beam scale.

Yes and it should be a good scope, but the one i had would not hold a setting. It was all over the place. Sent it back for a refund. Good transaction thks Amazon.
