I do not own this particular model, but have recently, and not so recently, had the opportunity to use one (borrowed) under a variety of circumstances and activities.  For the money, I have to say that this is a relatively good scope.  The two areas I have primarily used this scope is in bird watching, i.e. shore birds, vultures and eagles.  Secondly, I have used in on the pistol range as a spotter.  In both cases it performed adequately to superb.
