I am a rookie in this theme....does this one use baterries?... I am looking for a compact optic scope without batteries...

Yes, You can use batteries in this one, BUT it has a etched glass reticle you can see without a battery. I prefer not to turn it on as the black reticle does not distract from the target, I am not one for pretty colors. The broken circle with dot center lets me frame the target.

Yes, this prism sight does use batteries, but I would steer completely clear of this sight. It will not retain its zero at range (discovered this after over 200 rounds of ammo and multiple attempts to troubleshoot it). Get a red dot or a fixed-power, low-power conventional scope instead, and make sure you put it on a low-recoiling caliber like a 5.56mm NATO/.223 Remington if it is a budget-priced optic to ensure that it has the best performance on the platform you are putting it on even if it is a lower-quality scope/sight.

make sure you pull out the tab that separates the batteries from the metal. The ''pull tab'' is on most toys and appliances that DO include batteries. I bought this a long time ago and I use it for hunting. BTW- it is more of a ''Widespread'' than ''Beam'' or ''spotlight'' as most people say....but I use it to leave the shooting house, not shine on the deer because it would not put enough light on it. If you are looking for a really good hand held light that zooms in get one with a convex lens.

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 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

It appears to be the case. NO magnification, and with a nice Zombie sticker on the side. These type of reticules are not for extreme accuracy. They are great for close combat but not for longer range accuracy. I ended up with a Pentax 4 - 12 x 40 scope that is dead on! For what they can be used for they do good job.

ive seen those videos where folks shoot them with bb's, I see no combat situation where id be shooting an optic with bb's though, its a 30$ sight, it probably wont survive a bb blast, usually the double glass higher end ones survive

No, I used my scope on a Moisin Nagant using the rear sight base for the new mount. I shoot from 200 to 500 meters. the scope works wonderfully.As you know; most extended eye relief scopes were low power. Also it was like looking looking through a tube. I don't feel that way with this scope. I don't think I'd a scout set up to hunt with Too weird...rp

This is a gen 1 nv setup. It's the most basic kind and good for seeing at night. I haven't tried it w a sight. But I wouldn't use mine that way. It would probably work best with a laser dot not a scope.

To be honest, I don't know. Actually I haven't been to the range yet to zero this scope. The 'sniper' concept behind it seems valid. But the proof is in the pudding. Not much help I know, but what I've read on this scope, and the Sweet 17 one too, has all been good.

Hi Frank, I purchased this scope about 6 months ago and have had great luck with it. I dont care for the red and green back lights and shoot it with no lighting. As far as it changing when zooming mine doesn't do that. I would say you might have received a defective one since the reticle is separate from the lens and sounds as if it might be moving slightly when you zoom. Amazon is great about replacing items, shoot them an email.

This is my thought, I don't like the optics as it has a very narrow field of view.. Poor quietly optic. You really get what you pay for with a good scope! I sent mine back a bought a hight end scope.. Hope this helps.

JJ350, I have a AimPoint with a magnifier on a M-4 platform, works well, but you have to swing the magnifier into place to go from 1X to 3X. I bought the Burris for 3-gun competition and is mounted on Colt 3-gun ready platform. The Burris XTR 1x4 scope comes with a holographic red dot that i mounted on top and good for close targets, for targets 50-200 meters downrange, I get into the scope and I added a speed ring for quick access from 2X to 4X. I can dial it up shooting or running. The glass is very clear and has held up very nicely so far. (6mos) Well worth the money and comes with the mount as well. You mount it, zero it, shoot it.

I really like the scope, but like several others that I have had, night vision is not equal to a daylight glass scope in magnification. If you need 4x then get the 5x. We are using them on crossbows and the 4x works just fine

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.

jmich; Like you, I certainly was not trying to be glib. I just did not encounter the problem you did. I do have one idea, though: The scope comes with two eyepieces. One of the eyepieces is useful, but the other one I found useless. The target could not be centered or even seen. Hope this helps.J

I have bought 4 of these scopes. 3 were fitted to .22 rifles - after about 3 months the reticle came loose in one, the other 2 are going strong after about 500 rounds each. I have a forth on a Lee Enfield .303, I have only fired 30 rounds, over 3 sessions, but it has held zero so far - sorry I can't give you a better set of numbers . The 3 surviving scopes have all held zero and I have been pleased with them. At 75 yds I can put the .22s into a inch hole all day long. If you have any doubts I would suggest paying $200+ for something like a Leupold, better to spend 200 than waste 70 .... at the end of the day you only ever get what you paid for - but you might just get lucky!
