Does anyone know the effective range of this scope, or what I should be looking for. I shoot at a range with 25 yard, 50 yard, 100 yard, and out to 250 yard targets. Possible expansion to a 350 yard target. Want something that I can use in those ranges if possible. The 25 yard being the least important.

I use it with 7 mm mag rifle at targets of 100 yards, for the price it's ok.

DO NOT BUY THIS SCOPE!!!! TOTAL GARBAGE! Spend the money on a quality scope, Hopefully from this country.

I shoot at about 100 yards with no problem except for an occasional hit to the mounting chains. I bring some tools and extra chains to hang the targets from in the event that I clip a chain. The target holds up well if you hang it according to their directions...

This scope is best mounted on a 0 MOA rail. With is set up this scope will go form 100 yrd to 1120 yards with the turn of one dial. It took a while to get it set up and to understand and it works great. I took 3 other very experienced shooters to the range and they were hitting bull eyes with less than .5 moa at 200 yards with 3 shot groups shooting the rifle for the first time.. I take it to the 1000 yard range that has plates at 150, 250 300 500 750 and 1000 yards. This scope hit them all with a simple turn of the dial. Keep in mind it is not a long range target scope, but is intended to hit an 18" target all the time at any distance from 100 - 1120. This is designed to bracket and shoot at unknown distance. This is a very tall scope and I recommend a stock with cheek riser for final adjustment. The optics are clear and bright. Mine is mounted on a 700 in a Accuracy Int stock. The turrets will hold dope on up to 5 different bullet weight. I shoot 168 for long range hunting and 150 for targets. I would strongly recommend this scope for someone that does not want to spend time with dope calculators. There are many great youtube video to confirm and help you make a final choice.

I shot 2" groups at 100 yards. Have not stretched it out yet. At 100 yards the dot covered the 1" Orange bulls-eye. Rely on fundamentals and you should be spot on with this scope.

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.

I found the gun to be very accurate at about 23'. However the fixed sights were terrible. In my case, it caused the gun to shoot &gt;6" low at the 23'.I added a red dot sight, and quarter size groups are now typical through 2 1/2 clips (~40 shots). I am shooting RWS Superdomes (preferred) and RWS Diablo Basic.

I wouldn't recommend the scope for shots longer than 250 yards. this is definitely not for precision shooting, it's more so for hunting.

Thats gonna be cutting it awfully close. , your target will look like its in the scope lol Why would one need a scope for 25 yards ? If thats all you'll be shooting . You might wanna go with a hollographic red dot or something and if you shoot long and short do the same and get QD rings for the nikon. Its an excellent scope for the money

The parallax on this scope is set a one hundred yards so thats where it will focus in at. If you shooting at 25 yards you'll never get it to focus clearly. They do make scopes that will focus at all ranges but there designated as AO scopes and you pay a premium for that. I have this same scope in an AO version that I got from Optics Planet, Amazon doesn't appear to sell the AO version.

I've shot at 100 yards with good groupings, the 3x zoom makes it so much nicer than the plain red-dots for distance. 200 yards would probably not be bad at all either, depending on what you are trying to hit.

No, this is not good out to 200 yards. First off it's not a scope, it is 1x which is not magnification, it's an optical sight with no magnification. It does have the ability to illuminate the reticle. It's purpose is the same as an Ampoint or any other illuminated sight only cheaper and it is also heavy, I also found it to go through batteries fairly fast.

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.

IDK! Only shoot about 100 yards at the most at the range I go to. But at 100 yards you can see them. We just go and tape them over and continue shooting!

I have this on my AR15. I have mine sighted in at 75 yards. I don't have the room to go back any farther than 100 yards. I love it at 75 I could of done 100 but I don't do much with it except target shoot. Hope this helps!

I would not trust it beyond 100 to max 150 yards. Appears that it gets a bit distorted. In my oppion I would keep it less than 100 yards. Mostly for safety reasons.

I have posted on this scope before. It is not a reliable scope, at least for me, as I could never get it to ZERO. If you cant get the scope to zero, parallax is irrelevant. Assuming you CAN get this scope to zero at some range, you can use the poor man's parallax determination technique. It is painful, but it may help you find the parallax distance. When parallax is set correctly, you should be able to move your eye VERY SLIGHTLY left to right and up and down. If the TARGET stays in the crosshairs, you have found your parallax distance. If the target dances around the crosshairs, you have NOT found the correct parallax. I would recommend setting up targets every 5 yards from 25 to 100 yards(assuming you are using this as a rifle scope not an air rifle scope). This should help you locate the parallax. Most scopes would be at 100 yards, but I do not know what this scope is set up for. I would recommend this link http://www.pyramydair.com/article/What_does_AO_mean_September_2005/25 for some discussion on Adjustable Objective. The idea is to turn the objective bell while watching your target. When the view becomes clear, the parallax is correct. Also, a number of these AO scopes place DISTANCES on the bell. This can be used for adjusting your scopes to hit higher or lower (for people that have an understanding of scope DOPE). Either way, you should be able to get your parallax under control with the AO adjustments or a fixed adjustment of the AO at a known distance. All of my longer range optics have a separate adjustment knob for parallax excluding the 2.5-10 which has a fixed parallax at 100 yards. My 5.5 -25 and 5-22 and the 4-30 ALL have parallax adjustments on the side of the scope. Hope this helps.

I ask the staff at my local range and they say to zero in at 50 yards. After you zero in at 50 yards, you should be able to make those long range shot at 200 yard. Not so sure if this will work for the 300 yard range.
