3-12x44 AO & 2-7x32 AO SVBONY

and

I got the 3-12x44 AO on  Saturday. Had a hard time getting it dialed in and after trying a bit again on Sunday, I reset it to mechanical zero and started over and got it dialed in. Now to see how it works over the next few days.

Glass seems pretty clear, although the Monstrums glass is better.  I got the 2-7x32  AO Monstrum earlier last week https://a.co/d/8r5lt4C after reading about it in the Optics Gate.

 It is a one purchase deal, I can still get 50% off the one I did not order, and only have full price on the one I have coming.

[MisterAP]

Aha! That’s why it looked like the deal was back when I looked at it today—I wasn’t signed in.

Thanks for the insight!

  I did some digging through the SVBONY store and bought the SV177 Hunting Rifle Scope 3-12x44 for under $40 with discount.

[MisterAP]

Yep, that’s the one I got. $35 +tax

[TorqueMaster]

Thanks for posting this!  I did some digging and found some 3-9AOs with mil dot reticles also on this 50% off sale.  One is 32mm and the other 40mm.  About $33 for either one with coupon.

Looks like it's one coupon per scope *model* -- the coupon still shows on the one I didn't buy.  Hoping the 32mm is as light as they say...never can be sure if their specs are right or cut-and-pasted from a similar model...

Going to go hunting some more to see if they offer anything AO and compact...

[Back_Roads]

 Got both scopes in, initial test say they are a go.

I logged and was offered 2 of the 3-9x40 AO Mil Dot scopes for $68.99.

Are the SVBONY scopes rated for use on a springer ?

Thank you James.

I am guessing that they would be just fine on a multi-pump or PCP and maybe they might be ok on a really low powered break barrel.

Probably ...not so pretty good...on a Hatsan 125.

 I went and mounted the 3-12 x 44 0n my Ruger Air Hawk Master .177 NP break barrel. IMHO I think this one will hold up with no issues, I would buy another even at full price. Adjustments are solid, and reticle moves precisely.
 The through scope photo, is at 12x and the camera was not responding well to all the light the scope was gathering from my well light range, so pay no attention to the not so good image. The glass is bright and clear.
 I started a fresh box of Crosman CPD 10.5 gr. and will only shoot them from this setup to keep a shot count.

Ok James, I'll be looking to see how this scope holds up on your Ruger.

I would buy another even at full price.

At full price, I’d look more carefully at the Monstrums since they’d be in the same price range.

I have had really bad luck with scopes on my 8 fpe CFR.It killed factory scope a old Bushnell Sportsman's and a old Burris

[Back_Roads]

 I mounted the 2-7 x 32 on my Blue Streak 392w, I swapped alot of scopes today LOL, on the semi scout style mount, I was worried at first that I would not be able to manually tweek the factory objective setting, but with 2 rubber grips and a  grunt, the locking ring broke free of the lock tite and the ring turns the objective lens out, and I was able to get a crystal clear 10m focus. I will make a scope tape for it when I have a chance to shoot at other distances.
 I would be leery of this one on a spring gun as the turrets are not as robust or precise in feel. Also this is not long enough eye relief to use as a pistol scope, at lest with my long arms.

 PS They are letting me get the discounts on the scopes I already bought again now

I ordered this one...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LB4MNGG/

The original eta was Saturday. I just got an e-mail saying it will be delivered tomorrow.

Will the box fit in a standard mail box or do I need to open the gate?

[TorqueMaster]

I went for the SV169  3-9x32.
https://www.amazon.com/SVBONY-Sunshade-Waterproof-ShockProof-Picatinny/dp/B08GKRZFFN

It seems to be working fine.  Weight is higher than advertised, it's really about 16oz.  Over 18oz with supplied rings.  Rings are very low, the scope's objective bell will not clear the pic rail if it extends that far forward.

Seems clear, bright, holding zero.  Focuses down to 5 yards which is nice.   No major complaints for a cheapie scope.

[Back_Roads]

  All have not disappointed, received the 3-9 x32 yesterday, so I now have 3 scopes for the price of what I would typically pay for 1 of similar quality. 

[MisterAP]

It was too close to the barrel. I shimmed the front and it’s good now.
