Has anyone used this scope past 200 yards? Most of the reviews mention that mark, but I'd like to be able to shoot further... Any experience?

I sent the one I bought back, didn't like it. For the money in my opinion you can bear the burris 4 to 14 fullfield w/ballistic plex, if you could trade yours you wouldn't be sorry, good luck

This scope will go 300 yards all day long. Just know your bullet drop and adjust for it.

I am up to five hundred yards and can hold about a 4 inch 3 shot group. Problem is holding the gun steady and the trigger pull. I have a Remington 700 bdl custom deluxe 300 win mag .1977 vintage rifle with a muzzle brake. The trigger pull is a little stiff so I want to get a Timney adjustable trigger installed. You have to really tune the rifle for the extra long shots but the Simmons scope will do the job.

The spotting scope I bought is capable of seeing 30-06 on a target at 200 yards.Leupold makes high quality products. I also use their rifle scopes without issue. Thanks Nicholas

I use the scope for target shooting. Low power vey clear at 25 yards, but gets a little blurry as you increase power at that range. At 100 yards all powers are very clear for general sighting. Have't tried on small objects past 25 yards tho.

I think it can handle 308 at 100 yards...but I would not use it for that far away. The tab on the target is approximately 6 inches and would be very difficult to hit at that distance. Also I find that when I do use the target it never lands with a tab facing me. I have to rotate about 45 degrees each time I hit it to get another shot. The reset would be very frustrating at 100 yards having to walk out after each shot to reset the target.

Mine is mounted on a 308. I have not tried to acquire anything over 500 yds but it is very accurate to that distance. I is a great scope for the money.

Jim in my observation using this field scope I could very easily see the holes in the targets especially with the reactive paper targets that I have used. I have shot the targets with 22LR, 5.56 (223). No problems viewing at 100 yards on a clear day with ample day light. Hope this helps and good shooting to you!

I have mine on a Remington 700 in 308. At the range I shoot out to 700 yards. I do have a problem with mirages at that range. On an AR15 this scope is over kill.

Have it mounted on .300 Black Out and seems to be working fine.....but .308's recoil is much stronger as u well know. It is a very well made scope and I would mount it on my .308 if I needed to. Hope this helps!

I have one mounted on my 7mm-08 (used to be on my 17hmr) for 2 years now with 250+ rounds down range and in the field - 200 yard zero and never had to adjust it. love it!!

Hi. So far so good and I shot about 100 shots with it. I have it on my Benjamin Genesis gas piston air rifle so the recoil isn't bad on it at all. But the scope over all seems very solid, much better then the CenterPoint scope I had originally.

I have two of these. One mounted on a S&W; M&P; 10 (.308) that I've swapped the flash suppressor out for a muzzle brake. Has 18" barrel. Normally shoot Sierra 168 grain HPBTs in hand loads. Last outing I was getting sub-moa results. Have the other mounted on Armalite AR-31 (.308) with 24" barrel. Have shot better than 1/2 moa with the same hand loads. I never worry about the BDC feature since that is pretty dependent on using specific factory ammo. I can wing it on longer shots pretty easily. Great scopes.

There is alot of adjustment room,, I have it mounted on my .308 & have made adjustment to shoot 800yards out, (just playing around).. When I shoot it at 100 yards it was at the bottom of target,, seems to have alot of play... I hit the 800 yard target..

I shot 2" groups at 100 yards. Have not stretched it out yet. At 100 yards the dot covered the 1" Orange bulls-eye. Rely on fundamentals and you should be spot on with this scope.

I would fire at 100 yards, Michael. But I have been bore sighting my firearms for years and I have had good success. Try it at at 50, see where you hit, then move accordingly. Happy shooting!

Kristen I can't answer or explain other folks' problems no more than I can answer if their scopes were mounted correctly. I can say that I've never had problems of any kind with UTG equipment other than their rheostats being a bit irritating sometimes. So far, I've not had any problems with the scope in question. The scope has performed perfectly from day one and I've put a bunch of rounds down range and it remains perfectly reliable. Is it the equal of a $2000.00 scope....obviously not, but it does work quite well and the glass is satisfactory. Just my cents worth. Paul

I would agree with Mr.Mcguire,this is a great scope and I would suggest the mount as well.the xr mount that i have has a built in incline so your scope does not run out of elevation for long distance shooting.the downside to this scope and mount is they are a little heavy but i would highly recommend anyway.depending what you are shooting at 600 yds,you may want more than 16X? good luck and you cant go wrong with the above set up.
