could anyone recommend a scope that would be good for walking through the woods? This is a bit to much zoom walking around.

"Walking around" is the exact thing I use this scope for. It is fabulous and I highly recommend it. I love watching animals at night this scope makes that possible. Enjoy!

I wouldn't recommend this night scope for walking through the woods at night.

Its probably too late to respond and sorry, I dont use Amazon often enough to see everything. Its pretty durable and easy enough to adjust zoom/focus, I think it could work on a scouting trip. Downside is not having eyepiece at 90 degree angle. So either you need a compact but tall tripod, set scope on tall rock/table, or be in prone position. Its pretty difficult to hold scope without shaking it.

I feel these binoculars are ok for general nature walks, some sporting events. They aren't powerful enough for far distances (like in a big stadium). For more detail I think I'd have to buy a better pair and spend 2x the money. I did like that I could look through them with my glasses on, and they have a rubber cushion around the eye area. They are small, light weight, and have a good grip surface. Hope this helps. Barb

I put it on a riffle that does 3000 GPS. I would probably not recommend this scope because I found it hard to sight it in. But I was using it on a AR 223 so it was hard to see where my rounds were going. It's a cheap scope in my opinion.

I am no expert on scopes but do know a "World Class" hunter. I'm told that Leupold, in this opinion, gives great light at dusk. So I suppose the more high end scopes give you greater magnification, crisper picture and more light in low ambient light situations. Guess it depends mostly on the distance to target, terrain, time of day and what your target is. Again this is an opinion and preference of a highly experienced hunter.

it will not be far enough back for you to be able to see a big view of the target.the scope is not long enough to move it back to get a full view.i got a simmons 3-9/32mm .22mag which fits good.you may want to try that. c.b. hope this will help you.

I used it for bike riding, hiking, deer hunting, I think because of the fast movement you might have a little blurring, also the sky is a little bright, watch out shooting towards the sun but should be able to get some good shots and good luck on the hunt

Shot both. Can't tell the weight difference out in the woods do need a sling for the walk.they both do 350 fps the scope is I guess a preference of choice

I used to own this scope and used it to look at trees, birds, etc. The close range is about 50'.

Hi, I'm not a scope snob. I think there are decent cheap or inexpensive scopes. This isn't one of them. If you are anyone other than Stevie Wonder I urge you not to buy this scope. You will regret it.

That's up to your personal preference. Rick Utsler on youtube has suggestions for scope. Youtube this rifle.

Dude maybe it's me but I can hardly see out of it bc field of view is so narrow. Also the tri-pod is kinda weak so it was difficult for me to keep the scope from "jumping" around to see clearly. I was using it to zero in at only 100 yards and found it disappointing. Again maybe it's just me or my particular scope.

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.

No problem...If you are looking for a Good QUALITY scope that has 3x9 magnification (brings target 3 or up to 9 times closer), try the new "Simmons Truplex Magnum Riflescope". It has a 3x9 magnification and the cross hairs can be illuminated (either red or green...your choice). I bought this scope and it is excellent.I had it zeroed in in no time at all. You can get it on Amazon.

For what this one cost I would say this is a great one for hiking. I use it for hunting myself, it keeps track of how far you have walked the path you traveled and it has a lot of extra uses. the topographical map is also great. If you know how to read the topographic part of it you know where cliffs and major hills are. All in All I love it. the only 2 suggestions I would offer to you is get the carry case that is made for it (It has a spot for extra batts) and take extra batts. It seems to not use them too fast however better safe than sorry. I hope this helped you.

It magnifies 6x, but you cannot adjust the magnification. It says the effective range is up to 550 yards, but I've never tried that far. I usually scope a trunk of big tree less than 100 yards. It's hard to lock on small trees and I've never tried aiming it at the deer, but I think it's good enough for deer and small game if you aim it at surrounding tree or rock. I know it's not fog proof, and I don't think it's waterproof either.

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.
