My Simmons scope 1.5 x 5 x 32 was dropped and became bent. Simmons scope had a diamond reticle, and the windage and elevation were not adjustable by fingertips. the scope new cost $110.00.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1357 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2x7mildot-300x274.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2x7mildot-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2x7mildot.jpg 565w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';\">The first part of any purchase is a bit of research.

I had to use the rings that came with my SKS, but I did use the shims. Nice touch for an inexpensive scope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; font-size: medium;\">Test Sequence:<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';\">1- Will the scope Zero, optics clear, red green illumination works<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';\">2- Will the scope hold zero over multiple days<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';\">3- Will the scope hold zero at 100 yds, dial in elevation change for 200yds,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';\">Hit target 4-inch balloons multiple 4 targets, then reset elevation back a same number of clicks as you just set forward.

With the scope 1\/4 moa that will be 1\/2 at 200 yds. \u00a014 clicks up. Clicks applied 14 up. Should aim for 200 yds. 1 shot &#8211; missed 4 shots hit 4 inch balloon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';\">Scope was adjusted down 14 clicks for reset to 100 yd. A 3 shot group confirmed the zero was held.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';\">Step 3 was repeated multiple times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';\">This scope functioned fine. I like the illumination, Mil-Dot, the easy turret clicks to set the elevation and the wind. Comes with free flip-up lens covers and two batteries. The group below was 1.94 inch. The scope is mounted with a crappy mount. I did move up to a Choate drill\/tap mount and the group came in at 1.5 inches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKS_100yd_target_results52013.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-785 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKS_100yd_target_results52013-300x228.jpg\" alt=\"SKS_100yd_target_results52013\" width=\"391\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKS_100yd_target_results52013-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKS_100yd_target_results52013.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-content\/uploads\/goldenTiger1_5Group_83113_100yd.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"382\" height=\"287\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GranTech\u00a0Ballistics Lab CenterPoint Adventure Class 2 x 7 &#8211;\u00a0 32mm Specifications:\u00a0 Part number \u00bb CP273RG BATTERY is \u00a0CR 1632 \u00a0\u00a0 140 mAh Designed for rifle, shotgun and muzzleloader hunting Red\/Green <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/projects\/center-point-optics\/\">Continue Reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":332,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1032","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1032"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1032\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1358,"href":"https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1032\/revisions\/1358"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skidome.org\/firearm2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
