Does this scope work well on an AR15, has anyone used it for more than 6 months, and did it hold up?

At first I thought I received a broken one, turns out the mount was bad, so far it has held up on a .308 Zastava AK for over six months. I fire the gun about every other week shooting at least 100 rounds through it. So the tiny .223 should not be a problem.

It should work great on a ar15 and yes I've had mine for several seasons in the mountains of Vermont and it has held up exceptionally well. I can't recommend it any higher!

I have the SCAR 17s (7.62) and LOVE this scope. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for... And if you're going to drop that much money on a nice gun, why not get a nice scope to go with it? Also, looks amazing on my flat dark earth IMO. No complaints.

I had it on ar-15 and it worked fine, no issues, hard to say on a 12 gauge, but I bet itll hold up, for 304 its worth it, reticle as good as any

I do not know of one on this particular rifle, but I have a close friend with one on a 6.5 creedmore, and he loves it. I think the scope is rugged enough, capable enough, repeatable enough, and it has a great warranty. It is not a super light scope, but the Sig is not a lightweight weapon either.

I've used one for years and it is extremely durable. I've been hand loading 7.62 and using this scope for years and I've never had an issue. It has been used in the field for decades under horrible conditions and has a great track record. I haven't used it personally w .338 win. mag., but I've done some things to this scope I'd be embarrassed to put into writing and it has always kept zero and functioned correctly.

I've been very pleased with this scope mounted on my ar15. Eye relief hasn't been a problem.

The scope is crap, as are most air rifle scopes. Once you get it sighted, the slit east movement will throw it off. I have tried different rifles snd they are all the same - there is no secure rail system to keep it tight. I took mine off and have used the fixed sites, which actually are pretty accurate up to 25 yards.

I bought this scope for my AR-15 a month ago. Only fired with it once since buying it. I made sure the ring mounting screws were tight before taking it to the firing range. After an initial zero was made i fired about 100 rounds at 50 yards. The first 3 rounds were in the 1 1/2 inch zero circle but then they started to drift right and down. The first 30 round clip was in a pattern from zero to 4 inches right and down. When i got home i noticed that the 2 rail mounting bolts were coming loose with the front was very loose which explains the right to down loss of zero. Haven't had a chance yet to take it back to the range to see if I can keep it on zero. I bought this scope for my AR-15 a month ago. Only fired with it once since buying it.

if your using an AR-15 the sights on top are no good - I have scope sighted in at 100 yrds and zeroed in fine - then it has hash marks for further distance shooting . all in all a good scope . But I bought a vortex strikefire red dot sight for my AR-15 and it is amazing 175.00 dollars you get the best bang for the buck zeroed in at 100 yrds and excellent I now use sniper scope on my 715T .22 rifle .

First, it is not a heavy build scope. Second, I don't think this scope is built for or will hold up to the high calibers. You would always be readjusting it. I only use mine on a 22. For that caliber it works reasonably well.

I use it on an L96 air soft spring action sniper rifle with upgraded internals. It's at about 550-575 fps and has been tossed around shot at dropped and abused, it has never needed further adjustment from the original sight in and it is by far my favorite scope ever used. It has a great field of view, it's crisp and clear, and the illuminated crosshairs are great. Best investment to date. Keep in mind the lenses are large (about 3 inches) and it is for the larger of the two size dovetails. Hope this helps. Good luck!

This is one of the newer models and I have had no trouble with the rail. I have shot it quite a bit and have no complaints. It really is excellent . The scope is better then I expected.

I have had this mounted on my AK47, many shots down range. Less than 1" at 50yrd and less than 2" at 100 yrd. Friend mounted one on his AK with the same results, he just bought one for his AR15, and I'm getting one for mine. Several negative reviews out there, but I can't speak to other peoples installation/mounting or use. Mine and friends work great, holding up to AK47 recoil, multiple disconnects and banging around in /out of trucks. Still holding zero after 8 months. Buy it, price is good and it works.

I been shooting with this scope on my Sig, 7.62X51 and I have had no problems with it, actually I love this on both the AR15 & AR10. Great scope & very durable. I've used it hog & deer hunting and it stays dead on target. Good shooting & happy & safe holidays.

You have to use the high mounts that come with it. Works nice and the recoil doesn't seam to affect it. If your AR has a handle a lower style mount would be better. The scope is decent for the price. Eye releave works well but have to set for higher magnification and will work better through all magnification adjustments.

yes, it holds up just fine on a 308. in fact, that is what it was placed on and it holds dime size groups at 100 yards. The scope's clarity is what would be expected for a scope in this price range, good but not excellent. Scope reliably returns to zero when adjusted and brought back. Good scope for the price

I haven't used this scope on that gun yet but I have used that gun before. That being said, the design of the scope is pretty good considering the price. I have this sited at 100 yards and I have used it through 300 rounds so far and I haven't had to adjust it yet. The dials are solid and can be tightened in place to prevent it from moving during recoil. A side note, do not get this one. You need to find the one that is shorter. This one is waaay to long for the Henry. This measure at something like 16 inch. Check ebay because I don't think amazon has it right now. the shorter one looks like this 12x version: UTG 3-12X44 30mm Compact Scope, AO, 36-color Mil-dot, Rings I haven't used this scope on that gun yet but I have used that gun before.
