anybody shot targets or varmints past 200 yds, is the magnification strong enough to see that far, anyone mount it on AR15

This is a really good riflescope, and it's a tactical scope. If you need to shoot more than 200Y, you should choose a big magnification scope, such as 6-24x50 or 4-16x50.

Jim in my observation using this field scope I could very easily see the holes in the targets especially with the reactive paper targets that I have used. I have shot the targets with 22LR, 5.56 (223). No problems viewing at 100 yards on a clear day with ample day light. Hope this helps and good shooting to you!

if your using an AR-15 the sights on top are no good - I have scope sighted in at 100 yrds and zeroed in fine - then it has hash marks for further distance shooting . all in all a good scope . But I bought a vortex strikefire red dot sight for my AR-15 and it is amazing 175.00 dollars you get the best bang for the buck zeroed in at 100 yrds and excellent I now use sniper scope on my 715T .22 rifle .

I'm shooting at a 100 yard outdoor range, so it's not a problem for me at that distance. Can't vouch for beyond that. Most shooters I know use a scope for beyond 100 yards, and a red-dot like Lucid's HD7 for CQC and less than 100 yard engagements.

I don't have experience with the others, but I can see the holes in my target at 100 yds easily. It also holds a good zero, and I am getting 1/2 to 1" groups with my 24" heavy barreled AR at 100 yds.

I have it mounted on a mosin nagant in a scout scope mount has held up very well. I have shoot at the 200 yard distance with it and it's held its zero. Hope this helps

I bought it so I can spot my 1000 yard shots with a .50 BMG. It works pretty well for that, though you definitely are pushing the limits of the scope. With something big like a .50 and a target that has good contrast, it is usable. It's not a Swarovski; you're not going to get perfection at 1k yards.

Personally, I think it would be very good on that rifle. It's a clean, simple reticle and the center dot would be fine enough for squirrels out to 50 and target out to 100. The illumination of the center dot would also be helpful in dark woods. I recommend getting a good mount, and as light a mount as possible.I recommend the AeroPrecision extended mount. It is only 3 ounces. if you are patient can probably find one for 60-70$.Hope this helps.

RR, I found that you have to determine what distance you want as your target point. Plus, I found that the scope that comes with the rifle didn't do the job very well and I broke it trying to get it to get on target, not only for distance, but, also for the left and right setting. I bought another one, not expensive, and raised the rear sight up by about 1/4 inch on the rifle. My target point is about 250-300 ft.. Raising the rear sight allows for the ability to tune the scope to that distance without breaking it. After having done that, the accuracy was maintained even shooting about 2-3000 rounds in it. I also found that if I put my pellets in lubricating oil, the speed and distance are greatly increased. I found that, at a distance of about 50 feet, a pellet will go through an inch thick pine board. I am enjoying the rifle, I hope you will too! JimS

Yes, the image is sharp and clear on a considerably bigger distance. But I doubt that you can use reading tables or use it for target shooting in order to spot holes left from gun shots. It is a job for x20-80 scopes.

You'll need to zero the red dot/green dot on the distance you're comfortable with. Me, it was 100 yards. There is no magnification and is easy to pick up.

I have mine sighted in out to 60 yards and it is very accurate at that range, so you may be able to shoot further but I have no need to.

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.

have you shot it without the 3 power magnifier. I have one on a AK47 and it is pretty good. The shooter is more of a problem than the sight and gun when it is me. Try it on another weapon.

I haven't tried viewing targets beyond 350 yards, but based on that I don't think magnification would be adequate for 1000 + yards.

I have it on a rifle and it will focus at 20 yards but I have never tried it at close distance as I still have iron sights on the rifle, thank you.

I own both power range of scopes. I use the 4.5x18 on my 22" varmint white oak upper and it is great for really being able to zoom in on distant targets and with 4.5 on the bottom end you still have plenty of fov when your shooting in close. For what its worth I'd buy the scope again.
