Excellent scope, for the money.  Able to see a .22 caliber hole in the black of a paper target at 200 yards.  Can't beat it, for the money.  Compares well to much more expensive scopes.  The tripod is junk.  If you plan on using the scope past 75 yards, get a decent tripod.  The carrying and protective cases are nice.  I'd definitely buy it again.
