Review of: Sun Optics USA Scope BLT 8-32x56
by: Lighthorse (Ken Leamy)
On first impression a very Nicely made scope. Very rugged!
The scope has a 30mm tube, large SF Wheel and tall easy to
read 1/8 MOA target turrets.
A nice addition is the bubble level, turn on the IR Blue to the 1st mark
and the bubble is easy to read, so set up of rifle and scope is very easy.
The reticle is Mil-Dot and very clear. This Scope is also Airgun rated.
The glass is precision ground, fully multi-coated with wide band coating,
which allows the scope to give off incredibly vivid images throughout the day.
The only problem I have found so far is when zoomed above 20x and focusing at a
target that is in deep dark cover the lens gets hazy and hard to focus, But
under normal use image is very clear and sharp.
The side focus Wheel is well marked although a pointer would be a good
addition.
I used this hard, bumping, putting in back of car, Oh yeah tripped LOL and
the reticle has stayed on. It is now one of my fav's.
This Scope is also Airgun rated.
Some photos of the scope, Picture 7,8 and 9 are hand held,
I do not have a camera mount yet.
There are only a limited number of these scopes so if you call Sun Optics
and ask for Jim and tell him Ken from Maine or Lighthorse sent you, You will
get a price below Wholesale.
Magnification: 8x to 32x
Illuminated Green / Blue reticle with integrated Bubble Level
Diameter: 56mm
Eye Relief: 3.8" to 3.1"
Field of View: 10' to 4.2'
Minimum Focus: 10yds.
Click: 1/8 MOA
30mm tube design
Precision ground, fully multi-coated lenses
Dry nitrogen filled
Fast focus ocular
Waterproof, Shockproof and Fogproof
Length : 16"
Weight : 33.7oz
Just as a quick disclaimer, this optic is mounted and tested on a TalonP. Also I do not work for the manufacturer or their
distributors nor has any consideration been received....
Thanks for looking :-)

nice, thanks for the review. What price range is this scope, and do they have something similar in a 4x20 or 6x24?

As for prices I cant say but you can check out their scopes here
http://sunopticsusa.com/optics/scopes/
I do not know the price, I do know that the price on this one is quite low and a limited supply. It is being sold below wholesale.
The best thing is just call for a price remember to let them know I sent you.

Well Ken, I just ordered one because of your review. Jim was a great guy to deal with and had nothing but good things to say about you. Right now I'm a little worried, I don't like buying glass I haven't tried. For the price it's either going to be the best score ever or I got what I paid for. Being it was $350 scope a few years back, I'm hoping it's a score. When I get it, I'll post my own review and see how it stacks up to my 20 year old Burris Signature 8X32x44mm. I'm going to wait to thank you until I get it. That way I'll know if owe you big time or I need to hunt you down (joke). If anyone else is interested, they have 43 left and cost was just under $120 shipped.

Ken, thank you for the review and the deal alert. This looks too good to miss out so I called Jim and ordered one this morning.
