Is this a 5 star scope over all? No, not even close. Is this a 5 star scope for the price? DEFINITELY!! The design is sleek and simple, no bells or whistles here. The only adjustment you can make is the magnification, which makes it about as easy as can be! The image is clear, the crosshair is well defined and the lighting is solid! The only thing that I found to be a little lacking is completely expected for a scope this cost... the parallax is ALL OVER the place. Regardless of magnification. So to sum up, shooting some cans in the back yard or want to get your kiddo a scope for their rifle? This is the perfect one for the job. Doing pest control or competition shooting? Gonna have to open the wallet a bit wider there, Daddy Warbucks.
