I hope to help answer a lot of questions by writing this review. First off for the money this scope is amazing compared to others. You will need to purchase 30MM rings for mounting and i recommend a IR torch, the built in IR simply is not strong enough to see much over 70-85 yards depending on moon light. I purchased a IR torch off amazon for like 40 bucks and mounted to tac rail on the side of the scope and now of course depending on the moon light i can see eyes on coyotes near 400 meters out. and easily identify a body of a coyote around 300 meters. Mounting the IR Torch on the side can be a bit tricky because of the size of the IR torch lens making contact with the side of the scope. I had to play around with rings to get it just right. Also i recommend buying a torch with rechargeable batteries. When sighting in this scope is easy to make adjustments but they could be finer in my opinion, lets say you have a MOA group slightly high or off to one side of your target you may not be able to get it exactly on the dot you are aiming at but you will get close, id say within a .5 to a inch, the adjustments are just not fine enough like a regular scope because they are digital. The battery life of the scope is pretty good depending on how long you run it. On a 6 hour coyote hunt i may only go through two sets of AA's so make sure you carry extra in your pack.  The clarity of the scope is pretty good but doesn't allow much focus, the focusing is poor on the scope but its not a deal breaker. The first coyote i shot with it was 240 meters away and i could definitely tell it was a yote. I identified the body and he looked at me and his eyes lit up when the IR hit them and i just put the Dot right between his eyes. The scope has multiple cross hairs to choose from and three colors, red, white and green. And the scope has a brightness adjuster built in so you can adjust on the fly. Overall great scope and with a good IR mounted to the side this scope will compete with the best. For more info just youtube it, there are some videos on it but they bring the quality of the image through the scope down because they are recording through the scope. Its much clearer in person. What makes or breaks the deal is the IR so make sure you buy a good torch and you will love this scope. I have mine mounted on a savage .223 and it handles it fine. after you shoot it at night it will white the scope out for several seconds, if you don't like this simply move the scope around after you shoot and the image will clear up again and you can see your target again quickly. also i recommend to check the sights after a few hunts and on fresh target to make sure they haven't moved on you before you go out on a hunt. In the photo below you can see my aftermarket IR torch mounted to side of my scope. Hope this helped. Good luck and good hunting!

The optic on this scope is CRYSTAL CLEAR! the eye relief is better than I expected and running side by side with the leupold 1.25x4
all three of the shooters preferred the Weaver hands down!  I am very impressed with this scope.  To some, it might feel a bit light weight for a quality scope.  It does seem to be solid and well made, although I haven't drop tested it.
I paired it with the Weaver 1" mount on a BCM AR-15

Only used this scope at my local indoor gun range which is only 25 yards.  For the price this is definitely a very good scope for the money.  Glass is up to par with many higher priced scopes.  The illuminated reticle is highly visible in the daytime. All the adjustments are clearly defined and easily made.  So far its held zero with a ccop mount. Vortex has a very respectable following and now I see why.  Love the ability to re-zero the scope after getting it lined up to make it easier to adjust for long shots too. This is a damn good scope for the $$, don't hesitate and pick one up!

Awesome scope. Looks great and not like a typical low end scope. Rich from Mueller insured me this had Japanese glass and I believe him by what I see. I compared it to a Tasco japan scope and my Mueller was clearer and brighter. I also compared this to a sightmark triple duty 8.5 25x50 and they were pretty tied optic wise with a sharper picture with Mueller and the Mueller had better contrast. I love it!! the site marks in the Muller were way better than the Bushnell legend 5-15x40 I had. Turrets were nice positive clicks and very audible and resettable. Haven't shot it yet but I'm backed up with lifetime warranty anyways!

UPDATE: I took it to the target today and now see why this is $150 scope. After barrel started warming up a little the target looked distorted and nasty. I started sighting the scope on 14x at 50 yards and everything was perfect , moved to 100 yards and tried 14x power and everything was way off.  Tried on 20x power and thing were all over the place. This tells me point of impact changes through magnification. I have had cheaper scopes that have never done this.  I guess looking through optics are one thing but shooting them is a whole new world. I'm not going to bash the company or product as I may just got a whacky  one.  However I lost $45 in ammo so won't be trying a next one.

I am using this scope as a guide scope in conjunction with the SSAG.  But this little bugger took some troubleshooting before I had the 5 star experience.  First off I found it wouldn't come to focus without the Orion 1.25" extension tube (sold separately)  and both (included) extension rings screwed on.  I hear this thing can be fussy coming to focus depending upon the eyepiece/diagonal combo so beware of that!  Second, because this scope at 70mm is brighter and more powerful than the 50mm finder scope often sold with the SSAG, it means you need to make some adjustments in PHD2 guiding software from what the instructions recommend. The gain needs to be turned down from 95 especially if the only guide stars available are larger stars. Also the minimum motion needs to be turned up from .25 pixels to 1 pixel then slowly turned back down .1 pixel at a time to get the best resolution without the guider bounding back and fourth producing double stars.  As for the focuser, be sure it's all the way in (screwed in) leave the screws holding the autoguider (or diagonal if you are using one) loose so it doesn't spin while you are focusing, now unscrew the focus ring slowly holding your diagonal/guider in place until you reach focus then lock focus with the screw on the side of the focuser and also lock the diagonal/guider in place and you shouldn't have to mess with again.  It does seem the scope is out of balance but with an extension tube and the SSAG on the other end it seems to be much better balanced then. The rings are attached to a stiff arm and the 6 screws on the rings have a soft tip so as not to mar the finish on the scope. I can tighten these up really snug and so far, with my cords secure, I haven't suffered any differential movement between the guider and main scope and I am getting fantastic results. Because of the larger aperture at no additional cost in weight (than the Orion 50mm finder scope) I am seeing guide stars no matter where I point my main tube and have not had to readjust the rings in search of brighter stars. I have never had any trouble with calibration due to dim stars like I have heard the 50mm can have causing the user to turn up the calibration steps which works but in turn takes longer to calibrate.  All in all I am very happy I went with this 70mm guide scope.  It is good stuff once you make it work and I hope this helps you in that quest.

This scope for the price is amazing even climbing around hills and fences and tree stands is still holding holding zero and the clarity once you find your eye relief is crystal clear!

I was impressed with this scope being I own several higher dollar ones and this one delivers exceptional qualities.  It is on one of my best hunting rifles and is very accurate at the range each time I shoot.  Looking forward to that big buck.

This scope is AWESOME.  Have it on my .223 and once I got it sighted in it hasn't budged and remains spot on.  Compared to what the top dollar scopes cost this was a steal.  Don't forget the add on wheel to make adjusting distance a breeze.

I'm not usually a fan of inexpensive optics but this scope may have changed my mind 3 trips to the range and over a 100 rounds it functions as well as some of the high $$$ scopes I've used

Dudes and Dudets! This scope is great for the price, I've used Night Force, Vortex, and Nikon scopes in the past. But this Sniper scope is definately in comparison ant 1/10th the prices. I mounted it on my AR10 308 (reach out &touch somebody) scout sniper rifle. It is amazing I can use it close quarters or long range my choice. I am currently hitting 700 yard shots accurately with 7.62x51 boat tails with 185 gr. Full Metal jackets. I sighted in each of the low lines for specific distances with the cross hairs at closest targets. The scope is clear and concise the lamination is a bit bright but after the batteries wear down a bit it's perfect I prefer blue at dusk. Buy this scope it's worth it. TRUST

I have two of these scopes. One on my deer rifle (Thompson Center Venture .270) and one on a Henry .22 mag that I use just for varmits in the back yard. I like this scope so much I'm going to buy a 3rd for my 17hmr that I use for squirrel hunting. It's crystal clear. Great eye relief. And the DOA reticle is awesome. Would recommend to anyone!

Previously I had purchased a bushnell elite 3200 3x9 w/firefly reticle for my varmit rifle and I was very impressed with overall quality build and clear, bright optics. So impressed was I that I figured for my deer rifle I would go for the 4200 and I have nothing but high regards for it. The optics are very clear and take in lots of light. The crosshairs don't fuzz like a cheaper scope will when you change the setting on it. Also the scope itself is very good looking and feels very solid. I can compare it to a leupold vx11 3x9x50 that my father owns and it is very hard to tell a difference between the two when you look through them. I am a bushnell elite fan for life.

This is amazing scope for its amazing price. At first, I was scepitical but when I received and use it, I couldn't ask for anything for better at this price. It fits right on my ar-15. I have used every function of this scope to do things from hog hunting, deer hunting, coyote hunting, varmint hunting, and even at the range for target practice. The price is what got my attention. It even comes with Allen wrenches for mounting and adjustment and also comes with batteries, laser, and red dot open sight. Nice 3 in 1 combo scope and I love it.

a well made inexpensive scope it has limited eye relief which is described in other reviews other than this a very good scope for the money

Crystal Clear Glass and for a first focal plane mildot scope the price is unbelieveable.  If I had one ask it would be for the adjustment gears to be a little crisper.  I am a devoted Nikon scope guy but the reviews were spectacular and the price was too good to pass up so I took a chance.  This scope is living up to those reviews.  When buying a scope I stay in the low to mid price range as I believe in point of diminishing returns vs cost.  This is low on cost and high on the returns scale. Would I buy again?  Absolutely.

It's a great scope for the money. After using it in an indoor range I realised that the blue setting comes on randomly, even though I have it off and in between red and green. Should have checked if it would switch colors while on.
That's a half a star for functionality.
it's pretty heavy. Just taking that off reduced my weight considerably. I now only use the red dot.
that's half a star For weight.
the red dot has no "click" for you to know your adjusting your angle.
That's half a star.
there's a small piece of metal inside the scope.
half a star for that.
all of that being said I would buy again because this scope rocks. I wish my mosin was drilled and tapped. The adjustments for the scope click just loud enough for you to hear, and there is a "zero lock" is what I call it. Little nuts that you tighten to ensure your zero isn't lost.
again I would not hesitate to buy again!  If your on the fence don't just get off, jump, fall, crash, leap off into this scope.
since I took it off email me at robertpohlman24@Yahoo.com
I don't need it so I'll give you a good price.
