Has anyone tested this monocular against 9 power scopes to compare clarity? And has anyone actually scouted game with this monocular?

Not that I can find with a quick googling. Of course, I cannot find such specific conditions of review for others either. 9x32 is a pretty rare power. Clarity is not too specific, but I assume you could break it into contrast and sharpness, both pretty good for the money here. If you are seriously into scouting game you probably want something a bit better, though. Zen-Ray 8x42, Vortex Solo 8x36 , something like that. The main issue with this is the tight focuser ring. Contrast is very good, sharpness good. (better than the BG binoculars). I'd back off to 7x or 8x for scouting and spend a bit more.

Its actually not bad. I sighted in at 25yds and at 50yds. At 50 it was a little faint but you could definitely see it.. make sure you're not using a bright white paper to sight though as it will wash out. I really wasnt even expecting that for the price. It's worth the 12 bucks.

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 two of the Primary Arms 1-6 scopes and I really like the layout of the reticle. It gives you a lot of information in a very intuitive way. I don't find that the clarity is lacking at all as far out as I've taken shots with mine so far. I have a shoot coming up this weekend with targets out to 480 yds, so I will get a real test of the scope with those. But I would recommend it from my experience so far.

It has good range, easily out to 100 yds or more. On Gen 1 night optics you won't find good ones with high powers so you're limited to the range by the fact that low power doesn't increase view target sizes much. Otherwise, you can't beat this one, I love it for the price.

i mounted it on a rhino mount connected to a ph helmet and it sat too far forward. even with the mounts rail set all the way rearward. because of this, you will never get a good sight picture and i am now considering buying the rifle mount and just mounting this monocular right behind an aimpoint pro. i am hesitant because im not sure it will co-witness.

hi - i no longer have as i returned it within a week. i went with the vortex pst 6x24x50 ffp w ilum reticle - both are good for sure. what i do is go to the company website and identify the model i want with the options i want ex reticle, ffp or sfp, magnification etc and then shop. the model number drives all...atleast when i shop - hope this helps - drj

Oops I responded, but I did not keep this scope. It was not as clear and bright as the link below.http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1156168462/simmons-whitetail-classic-rifle-scope-65-20x-50mm-adjustable-objective-matte?cm_vc=ProductFinding

I use the 3 and higher for imaging Planets, thet 2X can be used for doubling the power at the eyepiece. The 127 eq is a great scope you should have lots of fun. I had a C5 at one time loved it.

It is not a scout scope, so the eye relief is not set up to be mounted too far forward. If you can mount it on the receiver then I think it is a good overall scope. The 7X would work for me at the range of a .308 but if you are stretching your shots out further than 500 yds with any regularity I would consider a more powerful scope.

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

I use the 20/20 for coyote hunting, I set in the crossroads they are about 350 yds. and I can see the end of each road. Can see something moving cant tell what. But at 200 yds. I can see the yot. good. all on average night. no IR set 12 frame, 3/4 gan, white screen, 3 back light, don't use the eye you look in scope on rifle with

Anything past 10 to 12x gets abit hazy. Reticle also isnt as sharp. But for the price u cant beat it. Hold zero. I shoot at 200 yard on my ptr

I would say it is pretty close in terms of resolution and chromatic aberration. Maybe just a small difference between it and my Nightforce NXS 5.5-22X50 scopes. It seems to be built as well but you give up an illuminated reticle and zero stop but you are spending only half as much. I got mine from Amazon vendor LG Outdoors for just over $1200. At that price and the overall quality you can't go wrong. It is a little bit more difficult to find 34mm rings for the Bushnell than 30mm rings for the Nightforce.

Not sure off hand. The IR light is visible to humans though, if that is what you are referring to. You do have to be in front of the light in order to see it. The estimated range of 80 yards for the IR is pretty accurate. Much farther if a reflective object. One thing about this scope that isn't mentioned anywhere is that after powering up the scope and the view is green you can turn it off and still have the same night vision. I have even taken the batteries out and it still works!

I had an extra unused rifle scope cover; the kind that is rubber with stretching rubber from one cap cover to the other cap cover. It works great. I attached it to the Monocular with 30 lb test black dacron fishing line so when I take it off I wont lose it. I don't recommend a monocular to everyone but I like it to study my arrow from the tree stand after the shot to evaluate the blood or lack there of to decide when to get down. My early bow season spots are so thick, binoculars are usless plus I have many floaters in my left eye so the monocular really works well for me and it's lighter to carry.

These optics will work but I think that the 8 power may be too strong. I would go for 7X with as wide a field as I could find. For best results it is important to perform adjustments in the order given in the instructions. Enjoy the games.
