For those that have owned this scope a while are there any regrets? With high level of zoom (4.5 to 18X zoom); any blurry ness?

A scope is a critical tool for anyone who wants to shoot longer distances more accurately. In my experience this scope (along with my rifle) has allowed me to shoot sub MOA at a 100 yards and 1.5 MOA at 200 yards. The 18 power zoom on the scope is very clear when shooting at a distance, but do not be that guy who attempts to shoot at a target only a few yards down range with the scope on high power and complain when it doesn't work out for you cause it isn't clear and you forgot to adjust the parallax setting. This scope is a good product and well worth the $200 for what your getting.

Mine has done well for me. I`ve had no problems with it. Good scope for the money.

Very happy, great focal range and the fact the u can zero it out after site makes it easy to adjust for wind and elevation conditions. Then setting it back to zero position when done.

This is a good scope for the money. Easy to reach out to 400 yards and still hit a 12" by 12" target. The glass is as good or better than similarly priced Nikon 223 bdc scopes.

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;;/

I say do it... I put mine on a Mosin Nagant and even tho I haven't had a chance to get it to the range yet I'm happy. Glass is clear and sight picture is easy to find. I'm a little bias because all I own are BSA optics and this is the first pistol scope I've ever had. Hope this helped.

Its actually not bad. I sighted in at 25yds and at 50yds. At 50 it was a little faint but you could definitely see it.. make sure you're not using a bright white paper to sight though as it will wash out. I really wasnt even expecting that for the price. It's worth the 12 bucks.

In general I never keep it in My eye for any extended period of time, but I have to say that I've noticed no discomfort in the times that I have used it it certainly has good resolution and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. It turned out to be a little bit larger than I had anticipated as I was looking for a small pocket monocular, But that's made up for in its clarity and range of vision. In general I think you'll like it Jane, good luck

yeah, I have it... its a decent one for the money. im a little spoiled because I have it, and a sightmark 2x24 NV bino and those are really nice, but expensive. I have this one and Firefield Nvader 1-3X Digital Night Vision Monocular, and I did not like the Nvader.

Good question. In my opinion the optics are certainly up to the task. The problem is that the scope is small and is prone to being bumped or moved inadvertently when being used to sight in a rifle at longer ranges. I have used mine up to 100 yards and it can be a bit frustrating to use as any disturbance of the scope pulls it off the target. I prefer to use a larger scope on a camera tripod for longer range work. This scope is excellent for small bore rifle and pistol shooting up to 50 yards. Beyond that it just isn't steady enough in my view.

You're welcome...it's a great scope for the price as long as you get a "new" one. Take care.

It is focus-able to the viewer. I can't see clearly past 2 feet without my glasses. I see through this perfectly when I focus it. It's a tough little scope. I've been very happy with it. -DM

When I contacted the manufacturer, I spoke to one of the engineers who admitted that although the parts are from China this is a high quality scope with the reticle in the first focal plane. In short FFP. I noted at high magnification, I had near zero distortion at 200yds. I still shot <1/4" MOA. That is to say, at 200yds, I put bullets through holes.

To be honest, mine Works really nice even at 125X. About clarity in my opinión at 100x is the average. Please just learn how to use them porperly. I´ve had very good moments with my binoculars for around 2 years.

Yes, it's actually a really good scope. I would say no if you're going to use it for really long distances though.

btw...my tasco world class3-9x40mm loses clarity with sundown or lower light. I forgot to note this point in earlier comment. it's a damn good build and buy for the money (51.99) but, more demanding purposes will require a much better scope. p.s. this would not be my combat scope on an ar15 either.

I think that you'll be disappointed. It's a good scope for it's intended usage, but I don't think the maximum magnification of 18x is adequate for 1,000 yard shooting. You may want to look at the Sightron SII 24x-44AO for $580 or the 36x for $650. Those prices are from OpticsPlanet and include free shipping.

It's pretty darn clear. Obviously not as clear as say a swarovski or a leopold at 24x but you will see your bullet impacts at a very long ways away and the front focus really helps with clarity. At 10x though (where I usually keep it for most shots) it's super super clear.

I have this and if you do not have the pro sightmark recticle, it will be blury and or have a double image. It is frustrating at best. For someting that you want to be accurate at 100 yds, go with a decent scope like a Nikon 4.5-14 x 40 BDC and you will be extremly glad you did. I'm 56 and it is hard for the old eyes to see a 22 size hole in a target at a distance. This is my best sugestion. The red dot recticle is great for close proximity shooting, not so much for longer shooting, Target, etc.

I did not have the UTG long enough to really check it out. I sent mine back because the cross hairs were out of align plus the optics were blurry. I have since bought a Nikon P223 3x9. More money, yes, but quality optics.
