its a shotgun so its not going to be rifle accurate but still i find that i can hit people from a good distance away. yes this gun is most definitely worth it especially considering the price and I've never tried attaching a scope, i mean, its a shotgun so personally its better on the run than sniping someone out. but yeah i would recommend this gun for a 10 year old not to heavy or anything so yeah i would.

It's very accurate with .2 gram bbs. It's is definitely wprth the price. It hurts pretty bad. You can't attach a scope unfortunately. I wouldn't recommend for a 10 year old because he will get a giant welt when shot

Yes you could. I find it too short for my taste and my 11 yr old likes the height. I am a 6 ft tall guy and find myself kneeling on the ground to look through it with its legs stretched out as high as it will go. You have to remember, the best viewing is straight up where you have less atmosphere to look through. Great job getting the family into astronomy! I have found that you should really start with a "manual" scope then transition into a goto type scope. I have issues with my scope as far as the alignment does not work. I have not been able to use the goto feature at all on mine. Just use it for looking at what I know. Wishing you the best of luck and clear skies! Yes you could.

the scope is very small.. and looking into it, its not very clear at all.. trust me, the lens to look into the scope is even extremely small.... that being said, although it cheap.... its not worth the money because it just isn't good. it is a crap scope trust me, dont waste your money there are a lot of better ones

the eye relief is good. you should be able to look through it with out glasses. It s good spotting scope for the price. I bought the camera adaptor for my Canon EOS for it. I like it.

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.

This is A heavy scope with a less than perfect center go gravity. I am using an alpena plastic with a fairly wide footprint. It's barely enough. It's plastic. it wiggles a lot when you focus or zoom. Do you own this scope now? Are thinking stars or on the ground. I would not recommend ultima 80 for astronomy. Blue shift issues. Works fine on the ground.

In my opinion, No. This is a very cheap, although serviceable, telescope. It is not very big and is not conducive to precise settings. It is just not designed to be a top notch scope. Putting expensive eye pieces on it would not help appreciably, but they certainly would improve the view over the EP that come with the scope.

You can use this scope to shoot generally out to 250 yards depending on your skill level. So it depends how far you want to shoot, how good your eyes are in low light (older shooters enjoy higher magnification), enjoyment level, and desired use.The weight isn't significant for me. It is a nice scope, and I think you'll enjoy it.

an 8 yr. old has a lot to learn, and the scope would provide and excitement experience of seeing objects closeup. He or she would need some help ofcourse, if you would show how to use the scope, an 8 yr. oldwould appreciate the shared experience and a nice evening with the cooperation of Mother Nature also...

I answered yes by accident, No, this is definitely not a long eye relief scope. Check out the 7x powered one by AIM Sports. Works great, shot my first buck with it over the weekend.

This scope is good for the price and you will not be able to see the planets as you might with the professional ones. It is great watching the land marks and the moon. I hope this helps.

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

I'm quite happy with the eye relief and the scope in general. It's a great product for the price. I have it mounted on a Weatherby Vanguard Sub-MOA in .223, which will easily put three holes in the 10 ring from 100 yards that you can cover with a nickel.

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.

Yes it is, I find it very comfortable to use. Why they don't put right angle finders on Scopes as a regular feature I have no idea. I cant live without mine.

The 10 dob is a great scope. However if you find your light pollution is to much and want to head to a dark sky local you would be better served by the c6 or one of orions mac cas goto scopes.

It is a little stiff until you get it broke in, not to hard for an adult but a child under 10 years of age might find it tough to cock. hope that answers your question. The scope that came with it is not the best so I put Nikon 2 to 7 power scope on mine and is is very accurate once it is broke in.
