How about using the upper Fiber Optic Sight?... I like the idea of having the chance to get a useful scope if the batteries run out...

They work fine, but the reticle is still visible as black if the batteries run out. The batteries just allow you to change the color of the center of the reticle as red, blue, or green (I like red best). It did take some time for ACOG to arrive at my house, but I really like this ACOG and it was worth the wait in my opinion.

I bought this because of the upper sight can be used should the batteries fail. When you sight in the scope verify with optic, then with bore sight. That being said, it still depends on distance and wind!

I could not zero in with mine. Returned back to supplier. Amazon and the supplier provided timely response. Not much luck with lasers. Looks like scope and red dots are much easier to mount and reliable.

Yes the is a very easy scope to use. it would be great for that. Maybe a wide angle lens would help a little more.

The scope is not designed to be co-witnessed with fixed iron sights. As previously stated, the reticle is visible with or without illumination, so it should be usable regardless of lighting conditions or dead batteries. If you want an alternative sighting system (for instance, a 1x non-magnified sight picture rather than 3x), I would recommend a set of 45 degree offset sights.

Get the celestron powertank (dont forget to charge it once a month), i also bought the celestron eyepiece set, great set and a good case with it. Also use the two star align, three atar doesnt work, and google for how to set it up as you must put the alignment stars in the middle of the eyepiece then move it left down up right (as the star looks in the eye piece), then click to set it as an alignment star. It will then track all night usually after one quick up movement once aligned. It is a brilliant scope, good luck!

It may get you by for a time. Because of the capabilities of your rifle and round, I would suggest saving money to purchase a better scope.Some of the lower tier Leupold, Nikon, and Bushnell Elite scopes would serve you very well for many, many years.

Yes exactly right. One suggestion is to also get a boresight insert to help you adjust the windage and elevation so that you can dial it in without using ammo. It's a great laser sight! Enjoy!

If I were you, I would put a good red dot on it. A cheap scope comes with the package. Hope this helps.

I would only if you have it close to the subject. Mine does not put out much light after about a foot. The magnification is good and the gooseneck is flexible.

This scope is nice, but that is pretty close. Why not just use iron sights? or a 2-7 power scope. PS please note this product is quite large (much longer than other 4-12) and rather heavy. If you are standing unsupported it may become cumbersome.

On the CQB or home defense side, if you think your life will depend on it you may want to mount a Fastfire III or similar 1x holo sight on the top rail for really short distances, ESPECIALLY in low light. With the 3x magnification it is very difficult to ID, acquire, and aim quickly... even with the CQB reticle. You may be able to, but I can not keep both eyes open with this sight without getting disoriented.

I agree with Tyler. This is a piece of junk. All that mine is good for is a spotting scope at close range. The cross hairs won't move up, down or sideways. It starts to get fuzzy around 26 power. At 32 I can't make out the target at 100feet much less 500 feet. Don't get excited over the price. It's a wonder the price hasn't been lowered so the inventory will move faster.

Hi Charles, No, you would have too much magnification. I would get a 10x 20x 40x scope that is used for coins and other solid objects. they are also usually less expensive :)

Also there is an app for this scope which comes in handy. It is about $5-6 but well worth it.

I use Energizer 1632. Best to get a few as they don"t last long and it's easy to forget to turn the scope off. Hope this helps
