I've read elsewhere that the point of impact changes at different magnifications, is anyone else experiencing this?

I own three or these scopes. I use them at ranges up to 1000 yd. I have not experienced any POI changes when I change magnification.

I have shot out to 600 yards with my 6.5 x 284 and do not see change in point of impact with magnification change with this scope- downside is, cross hairs too thick. Gary

I've used my mirrors several times and never had this problem. I just tested one and the finding is that it's an optical illusion. When you first look into the magnified side it is so magnified that one can not see any thing. Then when you start "focusing" it does momentarily appear to be upside down. However, when you bring your face up close and truly focus using the magnification all is correct. Not upside down at all. So maybe experiment a little on getting it into focus and I believe you will be happy with the results. Good luck.Betty

with out the 3x magnifier I wanted the two dot easy to see . with out the 3x magnifier over two dots hard to see them . yeah with 4 dots and no &#9726;3x magnifier looks like a straight line. I dint want the weight and pay the extra cash. my friend has the 4 dot and 3x magnifier really nice set up. hope this helped you :)

Follow up to previous answer. Had to return the first one I got, because when you changed dot size it moved the point of bullet impact. Not just a small amount, probably about 6 inches

I haven't had this experience. I have astigmatism in both eyes so the vision isn't as clear as I would like but I haven't seen double. If you have worn corrective lenses before and not had this experience I would suggest replacing them.

I don't know the answer, but this question should be directed to someone at Amazon, hopefully to make its way to someone who could actually address and fix this problem (I find it annoying too--unless reviewers list all the details and specs in their reviews, it's impossible to know which magnification or model they are telling about). I think these questions and answers are simply for the customers to ask and help each other, so no one from Amazon would see your question.

The impact only works when there is resistance to rotation. If it doesn't impact with resistance , that's a defect

I would say that its not the scope, it holds perfect zero on several 22 rifles I have it on. Break barrel air rifles very often have zeroing issues due to the placement of the scope behind the barrel breaking point. When the barrel is opened, and then closed it can shift the barrel enough to cause a point of impact change.

There is a indentation about mid way through the device. You'll see a series of parallel vertical striations of sorts moving from left To right. That is your magnification knob. It's really my only complaint about the device. It should've been a digital zoom.

After you response or concern I got out my flashlight and yes you are correct there is 2 optics one pointed forward and one point back. The one point back is much more counter sunk inside and I didn't notice. Sorry

My experience is that it adjusts the focal length and this the magnification increased, but you must move the subject closer or farther from the end. You may have to move the small object into the window if it comes into focus. Depth of field gets very tight at higher mag.

you are doing it right. the distance between your eyes and the end piece of the magnifier is what's called "eye relief". if you look into the eye piece closer, you'll get the bump in your eyes and might bruise it during firing (because of recoil). You'll have to train yourself for this to get used to it. Its the proper way. You're doing just fine.

Due to this same type of issue I had my eyes checked shortly after encountering the problem. When I swapped over to my weak eye the dot came in perfect. At the eye exam it was discovered that I have micro scaring on the surface of my dominant eye that causes the issue. Depending on the issue you potentially it can be solved with simple surgery and you can then go merrily on you way back to the range free of visual problems.

Yes, I think I have had this problem. It was very accurate last time I put it down so I will let you knowthe next time I shoot with it. This busy holiday schedule is preventing me from shooting but I will checkon this when I get a chance.

Agree that it's probably not the magnification they say it is. My issue is that the light is not strong enough.

This scope is weird. When I first got it in the mail, I went outside with just the scope and played around with the magnification. Around 18/20x, the sight picture would be slightly blurry, like someone who is slightly nearsighted. However, when I took it to the range, at 50 and 100yds, I could see my target paper just fine. I think the problem is using the 40x magnification to look at something thats only 30 ft away will cause a blurry image.I've only used this on my 10/22 and does not require a lot of adjustments between trips to the range. I would recommend this scope, but only when it's on sale. This scope is weird. When I first got it in the mail, I went outside with just the scope and played around with the magnification.

I was not sure when I first looked, then I realized the different models had different temperature capabilities, and if I recall some of them had different focus ratio as well. Keeping this in mind, Read descriptions carefully, the differences will be more apparent!
