Im looking for a scope with good focus to match zoom and not a lot of parabolic lining up, meaning i hate adjusting my head to not see black?

It takes a little of lining up not a lot compare to other scopes. I used it for my 30-06 and works great.

I have only mounted mine to see how it fits and after a qucik adjustment it seems very good to me.

I would make sure the description is for the bdc reticle. You'll really like this scope!

The Ultima 80 would probably be a good scope for that. Not so good for astronomy, but good in low contrast situations. You might also consider the Ultima 60 or some good zoom binoculars.

Looks like the Nikoplex to me. I have the M-308 with the BDC and I would hold out for that, especially since they're selling it to you full price. The undiscounted price is greatly inflated over retail. Not a bargain unless you get what you want. BTW, this is an awesome scope, and the BDC is a great tool when teamed with the Spot-On software. Good luck!

I use the 3 and higher for imaging Planets, thet 2X can be used for doubling the power at the eyepiece. The 127 eq is a great scope you should have lots of fun. I had a C5 at one time loved it.

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.

I bought this scope and its great the focus adjustment is from o to what seems like infinity....lol its great to aprox. 300 yards with no problem with the caliber drop compensation too.

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 bought this scope for basically the same purpose (plus other things). I love this scope, it is clear, nicely made, plenty of light both for top viewing and underneath. Has all the magnification that I need. The optics are surprisingly good at this price point, its not a Nikon or Zeiss, but is more than good enough to look at coins or insects.

Amazon sells spectacles that function like binoculars. You might be able find a pair that will focus to 3' away but be careful. I ordered a pair of really cheap one and the field of view was too small to be useful. I threw them away. They make much, much better ones that cost much, much more. The issue is can you find a pair that will satisfy your needs at price you can afford.

I believe personally, yes. I can find my target much easier. I also prefer the 50mm for the amount of light entering the scope giving me a much clearer view on the target. I have 50mm Nikon scopes on all of my hunting rifles

Hi, I'm not a scope snob. I think there are decent cheap or inexpensive scopes. This isn't one of them. If you are anyone other than Stevie Wonder I urge you not to buy this scope. You will regret it.

Depends what you are using it for. If you are hunting or shooting at a range of 100-200 yards it would be goodFor closer range stuff I like eotechs I'd also recommend nikon prostaff N series scopes 3x9 40 if the cost isn't an issue. The P series pro staff are nice too, N is nicer glass though

It's up to you, but the Swiss Scope that is shown below is recommended, however it is only a 8x zoom, which is like looking through a cheap pair of binoculars. You may want to aim for a the same brand, but look for anything with an adjustable zoom, or simply a 10-16x zoom.Not that the 8x zoom doesn't work good, it's great! But it just will not zoom in or focus as hard as you would see when compared to a 12 or 16x zoom scope. So try the 8x zoom from Swiss recommended below, or you can risk it and try out other scopes. All you need to know is if it has a rail mount, which most do, including the 8x zoom.

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

It is bright and clear enough but of course the larger objective lenses will gather more light although they tend to get heavier as they get bigger of course. It only focuses down to about 15 feet. So not good for very close range. In general Vortex optics are very good. I have 12x50 binocs. and a rifle scope that are all sharp, clear and bright. There is also an 8x25 Solo, or something like that. It is smaller and lighter and might be good for concerts as we;;/

The scope has no method of brightening the view through it. I have never seen one that had this capability, but the Aim scope in question is bright, and the illuminated cross-hair is helpful for darker targets.
