3-9X42E Red Illuminated Compact Scope/Ruby Lens Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Initially, this scope feels heavy, like maybe it's of some quality.I mounted this scope on my AR-15, and while looking around my yard with it, it seems good enough -let's face it, it's inexpensive so how good does it have to be?

I took it out on it's maiden hunting trip, hunting for small game in an open valley.I immediately realized that the optics on this scope were junk, there was a blur, or some sort of warp in the lense that wouldn't go away no matter how much tweaking or adjusting.It was like aiming the thing through a glass of water and then down-range.Also, the "spiffy illuminated reticle" has HUGE crosshairs.Aiming at a rabbit or a gopher at any distance is a joke because the massive, thick crosshairs end up covering what your aiming at.Sure they light up just fine, different levels too, but they're just too thick to be usefull.

Overall, the scope is heavy, the reticle lights well, but I doubt any sniper would use it with any attempt at seriousness or accuracy, the caps are a joke and will snap off in a stout breeze, the adjustment knobs are awefull -they feel like they're grinding when turned, not smooth at all, and the lenses are aweful.

So, to recap: 3x9 scope, lighted reticle, complete with covers etc. all for under $100!!!Yep, you get what you pay for, this baby ultimately wouldn't seem out of place rolling out of a kid's meal at Burger King, and has no real place on a rifle for any serious shooting.In fact, I found it easier to pull the thing off of my AR, and use the iron sights even for long range shooting, far more accurate too.

As for my scope, well, it took about 3 rounds at a hundred yards bafore I couldn't find it to shoot again.IT'S AMAZING, the body of this thing is like a boat anchor, all the parts blow off it, and the bullets pass through, but the rubber coating and heavy guage metal keep it from entirely blowing apart, in essence, it's a perfect target to shoot at.How ironic.

Do yourself a favor, pass this one up, spend more and get a scope that you'll acually be able to use effectively for some time.This little "bargain" isn't what it sounds, thanks China!
