Overview
A 4x rimfire scope built around a 30/30 crosshair reticle and 1 inch tube, designed for .22 plinking rifles and paired with 3/8 inch dovetail mounting rings.
The included rings are dovetail-pattern only, which matters if your rifle uses a picatinny or weaver rail instead.
- 4x magnification, 1 inch tube
- 30/30 crosshair reticle
- Parallax free at 50 yards
- Waterproof, fogproof, shockproof body
Who it's for
Owners of .22 rifles or other rimfire guns with a dovetail-grooved receiver who want an affordable scope with clear adjustments. Not a match for anyone whose rifle uses a picatinny or weaver rail, since the bundled rings won't fit.
Pros and cons
- Metal turret covers rather than plastic
- Crisp, tool-free windage and elevation adjustments
- Included 3/8 inch dovetail rings for quick mounting
- Rings only fit dovetail rails, not picatinny or weaver
- Turret profile is noticeably tall
- Ships in a plastic package with no protective box
Performance notes
Owners describe the turret adjustments as crisp and easy to dial with just fingers, a knife, or a coin, with rubber gaskets at the turret base for water resistance. The scope is parallax free at 50 yards, which suits its intended use at closer plinking distances rather than longer range shooting.
