Has anyone weighed this thing? For under $75 I am really tempted to try it. I want a lighter weight scope for my Discimus.
The reticule will triple in size as the magnification increases 3X. For what I will be shooting with it a thicker reticule does not bother me much. It would be used 20-50 yds hunting.

It would be used 20-50 yds hunting.And yet, the reticle will STILL cover exactly the same percentage of the target as it did at lower magnification when using a FFP scope.If the reticle (cross hairs) cover 5% of the bulls eye at minimum magnification with a FFP scope, it will still ONLY cover 5% of the bulls eye (target) at Maximum magnification.
Anyone have any experience with one of these scopes?….or at least know where I could find more specs on it?http://www.crosman.com/4-12x44-mm-riflescopeI stumbled across this model while searching for scope options to mount on my Cr MKII pistol that I’m currently building strictly for PFT use & it piqued my interest being SF & FFP, but can’t seem to find any detailed specs for length, weight, etc. Not overly struck on the reticle design (would prefer straight Mil Dot or ½ Mil Dot), but that’s just a matter of me getting use to it, I suppose. As of right now, I’m leaning towards the Hawke Vantage SF 3-12x44mm with its light weight (17.3oz) & ½ Mil Dot reticle, but *might* consider the CP if it’s not a huge 25oz+, 18” long behemoth… Any insight you can offer on this model would be greatly appreciated!P.S - And before anyone pipes up with, “Hey dummy, you know you’re putting a rifle scope on a pistol?”…yup, I’m well aware of that! Actually prefer the shorter eye relief of a rifle scope for PFT sitting position.

They blend into what my eyes see as a pretty normal duplex.So, while less of the target is covered than my eyes can discern, the small markings blend into what seems larger. But at 24x and 100 yards, the center mark covers 1/2" or possibly a hair less
Yep. I am moving in that direction. The rifle I'm working on now is receiving a sub-1lb variable zoom 1.75-10x24 that is SFP and has a very fine reticle. My plan is to either leave it at 8x or 10x. Or somewhere there-abouts. I find that 6x is plenty for most ranges I shoot at. Otherwise, I have been unable to find a fixed power that stuck my fancy or was well priced. (or available) I was looking at the mtc swat I think it is a 10x32? Very small, short thing with no eye relief at all. It has a rubber boot you press your eye against. Can't find them anywhere, and they are not cheap.
