I bought this to mount on my muzzle loader. It has the ideal magnification for deer hunting in heavy cover where things tend to get up-close and personal.  At the price I paid I didn't expect to get much more than the minimum.  This scope is much better than the minimum.  Light transmission and clarity are way above average.  The size is just right and the build quality is terrific.  My boom stick kicks like a mule but the scope hold it's zero tenaciously. I wish I needed two.
