Hi Frank, I purchased this scope about 6 months ago and have had great luck with it. I dont care for the red and green back lights and shoot it with no lighting. As far as it changing when zooming mine doesn't do that. I would say you might have received a defective one since the reticle is separate from the lens and sounds as if it might be moving slightly when you zoom. Amazon is great about replacing items, shoot them an email.

I'm a right handed shooter but have my scope mounted on the left. If you're worried about Parallax Error forget it , this scope doesn't care where you're point of view is. But take into review that my converter is backing up an Aim Point Patrol , that has no Parallax error. Other scopes? ... I don't know !!!

My scope had the same thing. I sent it back and they sent me an upgraded scope.

The gun I put the scope on was a gamo shadow fox 1250 that shot about 850 fps with the lead pellets I was using and didn't make it past ten shots. The reverse recoil just tore it up as well as 4 other low end scopes. I put a Bushnell on it and it holds up.

I have two of the Primary Arms 1-6 scopes and I really like the layout of the reticle. It gives you a lot of information in a very intuitive way. I don't find that the clarity is lacking at all as far out as I've taken shots with mine so far. I have a shoot coming up this weekend with targets out to 480 yds, so I will get a real test of the scope with those. But I would recommend it from my experience so far.

I wish I knew what an "air piston rifle" is???? I do know I have one of these scopes and can't get it sited in for some reason. Just when I get a half dozen shots in a nice group, the thing goes whacky and I can't do anything with it

Well it depends how far are you shooting in my neck of the woods. 3x9 is fine. I like 3x9 I leave Lt on 3 while walking in just in case I jump something. On 3 I can focus quickly on a target . The only time I adjust higher is when sitting once I spot something or when target shooting. I normally target shoot 50- 200 yards with no problem with 3x9 either way its a wonderful scope you be happy.

My reticle is a bit oblong, also. I can't answer if this is typical of this model it but doesn't bother me or my shooting.

I think if you are going to zoom in and expect good resolution you should raise your shooting pixels way above 3. I was pleased with mine when I tried it. If you don't increase the pixels then if you need to blow up your picture it will seem grainy.

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I sent my bone collector back because I had good Hawke optics (check them out, real nice lenses, just get one rated for airguns) ... well long story short this thing was shooting randomly with real bad groupings, I'm talking 6 inches at 25 yds. If you can still send it back, look at the Crosman offerings, I got a cheaper crosman springer that was deadly accurate with the same scope.

The only problem that I have noticed with my scope is that there is a little bit of distortion at the highest setting. I typically don't like to shoot all the way zoomed in though so it is not worth getting a new one for. I use it with a Robinson Arms XCR chambered in 5.56. With amazon's return system I'm sure that if you get a defective product they would have no problem getting you a new one. Just make sure you save the receipt until you get the chance to try the scope out.

Hi, this scope has great resolution and zooming. However, I've not shot at that range and cannot speak to that. The thing I will say is that the optics are great but the tripod might not be robust enough for a steady image at the range. The slightest movement would cause image problems at that far a rand. The Barska manufacturer and website are an excellent resource with great customer service. Hope that helps. I'd like to come shoot with you and maybe we can test it out?!

Metering I'm not sure, but not autofocus as it is a fixed attachment. Use your scopes focus.

I returned the scope. It was a well built Really nice scope but I put it on a barnett rc 150 and it WOULD NOT zero on my bow. My bow it hitting close to 300 fps and this scope should have worked I wish it would have because I really liked it. Maybe I just got a defective one.it was too close to deer season for me to keep messing with it so I just put my old scope back on and re zeroed it.

I haven't had that problem but the supplied tripod is really cheap and flimsy. Just get yourself a more stable, inexpensive tripod. It will make your scope much more functional.

Yes, it is and it's been well worth it. I don't know your firearm or the setup that you feel you're going to get but I could help you out with this issue. I shoot almost ALL see throughs with my scopes. I had an issue way back when, when my scope got hit on a set of low mounts; i.e. non see throughs. I was out of the fight until I got another rifle ........ lesson learned! Wayne
