Is the scope tube made out of metal? I see the surface is shiny, but I've seen plastic coated with a chrome-like plating on it before. Thank you!

Yes, the scope tube is made out of metal. You can read some customer reviews also addressing that issue, http://www.amazon.com/Vividia-Handheld-Endoscope-Microscope-Diameter/product-reviews/B005P40OXY/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints;=1&sortBy;=bySubmissionDateDescending.

The front sight is a very, very hard material... but not metal. It holds an orange site-piece very firmly in three points. The rear sight is metal and is completely adjustable for windage and range. Well, no... looking at it again it seems to be partially the same tough plastic the front sight is made of, only with two green points instead of orange. (I feel I should know the terminology for these things.) I can't tell you how good they work because my rifle came with a scope that is dead-nuts accurate. No rabbit has escaped this rifle yet.

Thanks for your answer. Forgot to ask if the silver version has a plastic or a metal housing? I presume that the chrome version has a metal housing.

After about 300 rounds thru my MN, the scope stopped holding zero. It was great before that. Mine at least worked one day then just couldn't hold zero the next. Mount is a brass stacker and it's rock solid. I initially gave the scope good reviews but that was before shooting it a bunch.

I don't know. I only had this scope mounted on my rifle for 1 day, when I saw a metal flake in the objective lens that kept moving around. I sent it back 3 weeks ago with a $25 inspection fee and haven't seen it since. I strongly urge you to consider another scope.

The round cover is certainly not chrome-plated metal. It is coated plastic. The only exposed component that is metal is the handle itself which is chrome-plated brass if I'm not mistakened. But in answer to your question, the round cover is plastic.

Picatiny... If you get this package combo, beware, the scope is plastic! Bought this for my husband who has owned numerous scopes over the years and has never before seen a scope made so cheap! It literally broke in half when it was set down on the table!

Mine came with a metal mount that looks just like the picture. Too small to mount on my scope, like I wanted. But otherwise looks solid.

The majority of it is made of metal with the exception of the on/off button as well as the sleeves that slide in the cylinders. On the surface this seems like a very cheap laser bore sight and it is. But unless you need to use it daily or weekly to sight something in, it works great. The sleeves that go in the barrel have a metal screw that goes into the main stem. Tighten the screw up snug with the supplied screwdriver and then turn the plastic sleeve down on the tapered stem until it fits snug in the barrel without being to tight. When I checked this against an already installed laser sight it showed the installed laser sight to be off by about 1/8". Prior to changing it, I checked it against my S&W .357 iron sights which have been set "dead on" for years and it showed right on center. I adjusted the installed laser sight to match the bore laser and my wife is shooting much more accurate now than before. Apparently she knew it was off, and rather than adjust it, she was just compensating for it. I have used this on four guns total. Two-22LR, one Walther PK380 and my S&W.357. There are several different sized adjustable tips to fit the different calibers.

Mine has a shiny chrome barrel. It wasn't very expensive. Maybe paid $10 or $15 for it.

It is metal. It is a nice product, but the finish on the tube is slightly wavy. Not bad but could be better. The red filter turns gray after a few weeks.

My son really likes this microscope. I am not positive but it looks like the Base and body are plastic and the rest is metal. The parts that hold the lenses are definitely metal. Hope this helps. It works great

Yes, it is definitely all metal, and is genuinely nickel plated. The gun is HEAVY... in fact, heavier than the real thing, by a few ounces. The grips are well checkered hardwood and look better than the ones on the real thing (which I own one of). The gun is actually a bit larger than the real one, and when a Cop asked me about that, I told him it was a "45" (it is a 4.5 mm) and he accepted that. Fools them all! It also loads easily and smoothly, shoots with precision and accuracy, and hits hard. It's expensive, but well worth every penny.

I believe it's plastic with chrome mylar covered over it. Not sure. Pretty sure it's not metal.

Looks like plastic to me. Some brass where the battery is. No mater what it's made of, it worksgreat for looking at things like coins etc.

The main barrel is metal but yes, the telescope has plastic parts - the most annoying of those is the tripod mount. It works great on my heavy duty tripod but the little tripod it comes with is very shaky which makes it hard for kids to look through. Kids usually touch the telescope or touch their eye to the eyepiece which can knock it off the intended view of the sky. I also found it a bit difficult to work with the spotting scope - still haven't gotten it perfectly centered. Still my 9 year old loves it, and he can pull it out and set it up all by himself. None of the things I would call a negative seem to bother him at all. The main barrel is metal but yes, the telescope has plastic parts - the most annoying of those is the tripod mount.

It's made of metal. Not bad for the money. I've had mine for three month on my airsoft gun and is still dead on.yes I had to grind the mount to make it fit tight.
