They say they bought it at big 5.

I know buying used scopes is quite a gamble.

Well I just picked it up.
I brought my lazer bore sighter,mounted the scope on my Quest.
Then looked where the dot was.

Then I took a few shots and shook the rifle hard to see of the croshairs where floting/broken.
Put the lazerlite in the bore again and it was still at zero!!

I ended up getting it for $25 since he didn`t have the box or cover.

The scope is the This Huntsman Series HM39X40RGBD
Retail $109 at BSA new

Here are the specs.

Wow I just went and did some plinking in the Desert and WOW!!
This scope ROCKS
I have never been so surgical precise with my shots.

When I got it zeroed in,I found hit the taggets bulls eye the size of a dime,then proceeded to make another 2 pellets go through the SAME HOLE.

Its really been a struggle to get a working gun and scope for me,but the 800x with the RGB BSA and GRT is a deadly combo.


I sure hope this scope withstands the test of time.
