Not the best
First, this is NOT the product pictured. The real scope is much bigger and longer. I've been using this scope on a hunting shotgun for about two years, it's held up so far. The 2x magnification is great for ranged shots, but means that you'll get parallax like any regular scope(can't shot with both eyes open). Also your field of vision is greatly limited because of the magnification. Be sure you really want a 2x scope and not a regular dot sight before getting this.
Truglo's 2x42 is perfect for a "Scout Rifle"
I found this while perusing for a scope at my local Cabela's. I needed a red-dot scope with a small MOA, unlimited eye relief, with a large aperture, that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I found all five qualities easily fulfilled in their 2x42 red dot scope, and was able to turn my Ruger Mini-14 into the scout rifle I wanted.
The scope has a 1-12 power setting, for shooting under dim lighting or on bright sunny days. It has front/rear flip-up covers to protect its huge 42mm lense, is easily adjustable for windage/elevation, and really holds its zero. Even after multipe trips to the range and being tossed in and out of its case, I never have to re-zero it. I have also accidently left the scope "ON" after playing with it, and it has proven to last at least 5 days straight while on the 2x brightness setting. To me that is remarkable.
The scope is built rock solid and should last for a looong time.
In short, 5 stars, even with the parallax error...
Just what I wanted
I was looking for a Red Dot sight for my 22 pistol and I found that the Truglo is a perfect match. Well made and solid, full of features and a great price. Well worth it.
