Found this deal while looking at Howa rifles. I picked one up as this quality glass can't be found for this price. Airgun rated, saddle parralax adj. and fully multicoated glass for the price of a leaper! (65 bucks) Just passing it along.

Thanks. I just picked one up. I am interested to see just how pink the desert camo turns out to be.

Nice.... I am really close to buying one of these... $10 shipping. Gotta think about it a bit and see what gun I could use it on.

If the paint job is too bad, I could just wrap it in electrical tape (kidding!).

I think it's the duplex reticle, not mildot

I went ahead and ordered one. Weird ordering procedure on that site. I got an order number but nothing else. And they didn't ask for the CCW number from the credit card. I was going to order some rings but couldn't find them on the site to order. I'll probably end up putting it on my Remington Vantage and replace the crappy scope that came with it.

Searching Nikko's website for the scope, they had a picture of the reticle, and you're right autoduel, not mildots... but I just usually use Kentucky windage anyhow, so it's not a deal breaker for me.

I have one, came on my Howa 204 ruger. The Howa is oustanding, the Nighteater is ok, nothing exceptional.

It's best to CALL them to place an order. Shipping is $2 or $3 depending on what side of the hills you're on. All their good prices are on the Monthly Specials flyer....download it.

Just returned my Nikko to legacy...not impressed.

If I may ask....

What did you find wrong with it, patton1?

Jawbreaker 38 · « **Reply #9 on:** March 11, 2011, 12:02:46 AM »

I turned in an order a couple of days ago and never recieved any sort of confirmation via e-mail, I hope it's all legitimate. Yet to find a method of confirming the order, I guess I'll have to call.

AndyH44 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 11, 2011, 11:02:40 AM »

Again...I repeat...it's BEST to CALL them to place an order! They are very good to deal with!

Got mine today. Super bright glass, about the same as the older Leupold Vari X II. Its a heavy scope though. The camo doesn't look at all pink, it's a tan color. Mine came with matching camo, med. scope rings! Flip up lens caps are included on the scope. Definitely a best bang for the buck deal! Gonna mount her and test her out. If theres any issues re: performance I'll post it here.

Jawbreaker 38 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 16, 2011, 12:32:07 AM »

I'll second that, I got mine in today too. Looks perfect with nice glass. I'm thinking I shoulda ordered a couple of 'em.

Aerofish · « **Reply #13 on:** March 16, 2011, 01:06:04 AM »

Okay i mounted her on my R9. The windage knob did not have any click to it but developed it after a few turns....guess the detent needs to be worked a little. Really nice scope that holds zero and is predictable (when the thing does click) in adjustments. I gotta say it again, fantastic glass for the price! As with Jawbreaker I too am thinking of getting another one for my pimped out 10/22 which has a Leupold Vari X II on it. The glass is just as bright but the parallax adjustment feature of the Nikko-Sterling will be a real plus with the range of a .22 LR.

Sounds like a great deal. Hopefully mine will be waiting for me when I get home today.

Are the included rings dovetail or weaver? I didn't realize they came with it.

wrecktangle · « **Reply #15 on:** March 17, 2011, 09:25:13 AM »

Got mine yesterday. Packaged very well.

Over all a very nice scope. Put it on my Remington Vantage, but haven't shot it yet. Nice glass (as others have said). It's a large scope and fairly heavy, appears to be very well made. Just a simple duplex reticle, but the image is very clear and sharp.

In my opinion, a very good value. If I had a need for another scope, I wouldn't hesitate to order one of these. The sand camo color appeared ok to me, but I own no other camo to compare it to. The detents on the windage and elevation dials seemed a bit mushy, you have to pay really close attention to feel the clicks.

A bonus on the included camo medium height rings, although in weaver. I just used the cheap rings already on my Vantage, but it puts the scope a bit low. They included flipup seethru lens covers which seemed to be well made.

I'm very happy with the scope.

What power are these scopes? Also is it a side focus?

wrecktangle · « **Reply #17 on:** March 21, 2011, 08:41:53 AM »

3-10X42 with side focus. It's airgun rated.

Got a chance to shoot it on my Vantage this weekend. I didn't realize the gun was so accurate.

minkling · « **Reply #18 on:** March 22, 2011, 01:47:19 PM »

Thanks, one last question. How close do these focus?

wrecktangle · « **Reply #19 on:** March 22, 2011, 03:10:35 PM »

It seems to be 10 yards.

My shooting alley is marked at 10 meters, 50 feet, 75 feet and 100 feet, and I can get a clear image at the 10 meter mark.
