side wheel come with?

[Back_Roads]

 They do remind me of UTG scopes, and for the price hard to resist even with out a side wheel

Received my 8-32x50 today. This model does not come with a sidewheel...other than that like Mike said it is loonnggg but, it is light and well balanced, nice clear optics and the sight picture is easily attained. Well worth the $106 including shipping.

Well, I, and some guys I shoot with, have 7 Sun scopes coming. I talked to Jim from Sun Optics and he seems a very nice guy and straight shooter. Sounds like he's  been in the optics game for a long time and has worked for several optics companies. We ordered several of 3 different models. 8-32x56, 8-32X63, and 8-32x50. I'll report back. Should be interesting because I'll have opinions from several different shooters. I may have to make a post in the optics gate but I'll key in here first.

Nope no side wheel with these TAC IV scopes. A UTG side wheel does fit very well on the SF knob so cheap options are available.

I believe the 8-32x56 comes with side wheel as does the 8-32x63. 8-32x50 does not. We bought what was left of the 56mm bell but he still has some of the 63mm.

My 8-32x56 came with a side wheel attached and a lens cap with rubber connectors.  the plastic on the cap is cracked so the band slips out.  Took some of that "magic" 3 second adhesive and "fixed" .. as long as it holds up over the next couple of days i will be ok with the fix.   If it fails i will call them about a replacement.

Tony .... 16x is "enough" for 50 yard hunting.  for paper punching i would go with the longer zoom

Thanks Geoffrey, a 4-16x50 is on the way.

[DanD]

I'm feeling a little foolish.  I jumped on an 8-32x50 to use for FT, but didn't notice close focus is 20 yards until I unwrapped the scope.

[uglymike]

My 6X24X50 arrived this morning. This will be a "back up" scope for me, not going to mount it, so just some quick observations. Light in weight for it's size, no side wheel, etched glass reticle much thicker than I'd like. Rings look like throw aways, AO is smooth, not too stiff, windage/elevation clicks seem OK. I'm looking forward to reviews after folks use them for a while.

[Geoff]

the cap fix failed, so called SunOpticsUSA .. woman apologized for the problem and is sending one out ASAP ... also mentioned the invoice said spare battery but i did not get one.  told her that was no biggie as i can get one .. she said, oh no .. i will send one with the scope caps and apologized for it not getting put into the box ...

i even double checked the shipping box to make certain it was not lying inside

GREAT customer service from them on a discounted scope

I just ordered 2 of the CS2983263 riflescopes for $141.99 each and free shipping.  They are the LONG RANGE TAC 8-32x63mm with the internal bubble level, springer rated, lifetime warranty and focus down to 10 yards. 

I called to place my order since I was getting the "international" error too.  They are located in Texas.  Melissa was a pleasure to deal with and we had been going back and forth to try to resolve the issue.  She escalated the issue to the commerce department and they said they found the error and are working on it.  She apologized and asked if it was ok to call her with my order.

All told it's been a great experience.  I had the same great customer support when I was inquiring about an Air Atac 6-24x50mm I ended up buying from Amazon.

Thanks,

Taso

[Geoff]

sadly they do not have any scope covers, so they said i could return it .. NO thanks i told her .. i will figure something out and keep the scope

[ranchibi]

The UTG side wheel 60mm (Amazon $15) fits the 8-32x50 tac iv...got one in today...fits well.

[T-Higgs]

Ok, quick check in. I mounted my 8-32X56 to my AA S400. It's a BIG scope to be certain but man do I like it. The glass is clear and bright. The interior bubble level is excellent. There is a little bit of play in the side focus wheel but it does operate smoothly as do the sharp clicks of the elevation and wind age adjustments. I'm more than happy with this scope.  I'm considering buying a fixed power 42X60 for benchrest competition. We ordered 8 scopes in all. I'll check back in after I shoot with the group and relay their opinions as well.

[Taso1000]

My riflescopes  were delivered today.  Before I forget, the international issue seems to have been fixed.  I ordered three of the Airgun Scope Mount 11 mm Recoil Stop Blocks without any issue and have already received a tracking number.

So back to the scope.  Ok, I knew they were going to be 63mm.  I thought in my mind they would be slightly bigger than my 44mm objectives.  They are huge!  lol

It ok, as long as there are high enough rings available.  I wanted a bigger exit pupil at high powers than the 44mm objectives could give.

I don't have a lot of scope experience but I normally like a lot of magnification so I can see what I'm shooting at.     My astigmatism always throws a wrench in everything.   

Primarily I was looking for a riflescope that would focus down to 10 meters and handle springers for favorite pellet testing.  Hopefully I will be able to put one of these scope through pellet testing and report back.

Eventually I'd like to take a shot at 100 meter shooting and testing.

Thanks,

Taso

For those of you that purchased scopes with mil dots....
What are your thoughts?  Its hard to tell by the pics on the website.

[SteveP-52]

Butler Creek lens covers are fairly inexpensive, just measure at both ends and order accordingly so you have a matched set.

As typical as a mildot reticle could be I'd say. I tried to take pics but very difficult.
Truck tire lasered at 74 yards, scope on 8X magnification. (Through a dirty window ) tried to take one at 32X but wasn't happening...

I'm just a basic backyard shooter and plinker - don't really like having to adjust an AO when shooting different distances- bought  a 3X9x32
with  a 50 yard parallax for $46 including shipping -very happy . Plus I have the added bonus of purchasing from  a company with a good reputation that can be easily communicated with.
