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...

I have used this scope for 2 years. At 200 yards, I can easily spot 5.56mm holes on paper targets. In a sunny afternoon, I can clearly see 5.56mm holes on a fluorescence targets up to 300 yards. I never tried this scope further than 300 yards. Over 50X, the image is a little bit of blur and it is difficult to focus. I bought this scope for $49.99 and am very happy. It is not a hundreds/thousands dollar high end scope but it got the job done. BTW, it's tough. Mine was dropped on the ground several times but nothing really hurt except the paint. If you are going to shoot .30s, it's good enough for 300 yards. If you are going to play with .17s, hmm......are you really want to hit something 300 yards away with the .17?

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 only used it at 100 yards. Worked well,for the price it's great. I've only used 100 rounds of .308 on my FAL

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.

Hi The weather got too cold for us to try it out. I think the distance would pertain to your shooting abilities. We will not have it any closer than 25 yards. I hope this helps you. Have a nice day.

i sight mine at 25 yards and that works fine as long as your using all the same weight pellets. and if your having that problem were it seems to be getting off little by little with every shot, it's that the scope is sliding back a little at a time, so make sure that the set screw is in place on the scope mount. hope that helps.

I did mine at 20-25 yards. I took the scope off, however, and just use the iron sights. I bought this to eliminate a skunk infestation on my homestead. most of my shots were under 20 yards and at night. I mounted a tactical flashlight under the barrel and preferred to use the iron sights as it gave me better visibility of the area around the target should the target move and I have to use a follow up shot.

When put together proper & tightened it is good for 50 yards. A proper distance for whatever you need. With that being said, I think if you take the sights off & just practice it can be even further. I shot it well over 100 yards by elevating it 6 inches or so.

the way I adjusted was to set my target at 25 yards and O at one inch low. I can best explain the reticle as an upside down Christmas tree, I used the base IE. of the Christmas tree cross as my impact point for aiming, at 25 yards the ark of the bullet is almost nill but at 100 yards it seems to hit right on. and it saves a ;oy of rounds for sight in I use this same method for all my high-power rifles and it has yet to fail. I really didn't get the info that came with the scope or just how the numbering was meant to be used, sorry I'm not much help let me know if you can figure the numbers out, Good LuckVirg the way I adjusted was to set my target at 25 yards and O at one inch low.

The scope is sufficient from 10 to 50 yards, it does have an adjustable objective. I eventually upgraded to an adjustable parallax. I have shot out to 50 yards with good accuracy and power. At 10 to 25 yards it will take down a squirrel with a well placed shot (head/shoulder chest). At 50 yards is blow threw soda cans filled with water.

I have had good accuracy at 400 yards, even 600 yards with good ammo, good rifle and no wind. It is a fine scope and I really like the BDC reticle.

You can use this scope to shoot generally out to 250 yards depending on your skill level. So it depends how far you want to shoot, how good your eyes are in low light (older shooters enjoy higher magnification), enjoyment level, and desired use.The weight isn't significant for me. It is a nice scope, and I think you'll enjoy it.

No problem at 50 yards. The .22 cal usually passes right through so you have to know your backstop. 100 yards starts to get pretty far out for real accuracy so hitting it well might be a trick.

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.

I have used it at a hundred yards. 25 yards is for the instruction. This is by far the best and easiest sighter that I have used and among my friends. So just get it and youwont regret it

Hello,I am using it only in a range from 25 yards to 100. I haven't any experience so close.I think so, but you're right, it worth to be checked. It would have been a pleasure for me to do it for you but I am sorry, I am oversea for now for one month and can't do it at ounce.CheersMB

I don't care for the cheap scope, actually for such a gun the killing distance being close a scope is really useless. A head shot to a squirrel seems effective at 30 to 40 feet. (.177)
