First, I see that I bought this Tasco scope at the right time. The price just went up at Amazon by over $5.00. I should point out that the shape of the observed "picture" seen when looking through the scope isn't round. It's more of a rectangle with rounded corners, or maybe like an ancient television screen shape. The scope provides a pretty bright image considering the objective lens is 20mm.
I bought tis scope to use on a new Daisy Powerline Model 35 that I also bought from Amazon. But first, I wanted to try it on a Beeman spring piston air rifle that I was going to give one final chance to show me some kind of consistent accuracy. So, I sighted and mounted this scope on two air rifles. The Beeman......well, I give up on it. So, I mounted it onto my Model 35, which I intend to leave it on that gun. I'm 59 and my eyesight isn't very good, and I need new glasses. I had fired maybe 125 pellets through the Model 35 with open sights, and I got some great groups. As in 3 pellets through one hole the diameter of a pellet from 10 yards off a rest. But I could see that my eyesight was limiting the great groups.
When you mount this scope you should not tighten down the clamps as if your life depended on it. Just snug them in and don't break or strip them out. I did have to adjust the rear lens a bit for a nice clear view of the crosshairs, and to get the target as clear as possible at the same time. The ring for zooming from 3 to 7 power works nice and isn't too hard to turn. The windage and elevation adjustments work all right, and I used a lot of clicks sighting in the two rifles.
The scope is really helping me with this air gun. My best groups are still the same. But when you get an entire group through one tiny hole the same size as whatever caliber you are shooting, it cannot get any better. The difference is I am able to get more of this type of tight group with less flyers. So I can get maybe 40-50% really tight groups. Much better than with the open sights. It's not that the Model 35 has crappy open sights, because it does not. The sights are really pretty good. It's my eyesight.
I got this scope for $16.97, and for the price I have to give this scope 5 stars. This scope is helping me to get groups measuring 0.0" center to center from a smooth bore BB/pellet gun when shooting good quality pellets through it at 10 yards. That means I have about $52.00 into the gun and scope. And this isn't my first scope by a long shot. I have probably owned 10-15 scopes. Most have had much larger objective lenses. But again, for an inexpensive air gun and the low cost of the scope I am very happy with this setup.
