For Ruger 10/22 4x30 Rifle Scope free mount and rings combo

This scope shows as being silver in color, but when it arrived from the seller (The Global Sportsman) it was black in color. A phone call to the seller proved fruitless for customer satisfaction as they insisted the color was black as shown. They agreed to to exchange it for a silver one but I had to return it at my own expense.

A little more power and this would be a great scope. The scope came mounted 90 degrees off top dead center. It required extra work to get it turned and rest on the rifle. The scope help a good shooter punch out the center of any target.

Bought this for a grandson. We customized his Ruger 1022. The most important thing is he loves it. The nice part about this is the kit was complete: scope, rings, and mount.

He is 12 and I had him install it. Took all of five minutes tops.

For the modest price it isn't the best scope in the world, but it was a perfect starter scope for a boy's first gun and it would be tough to top the price.

The buying experience was also good. Product as advertised, promptly delivered, at a good price.

Well, where do I begin? I took this to the range with my new 10/22 yesterday.

The rings that come in this package are terrible. They loosen up after about one magazine through your 10/22, and need constant re-tightening. As you can imagine, this makes the scope shoot less than perfectly. It took a very long time to get the scope zeroed in, and the adjustments did not seem like they were holding perfectly through a 500 round day. You might be able to apply some Loctite to these to make them hold better, but then taking them off would be a massive pain. Believe me, you'll want to take them off sooner rather than later.

The screws that came with the rail included weren't threaded. That's right, two of them lacked threads at all, while the other two appeared to be half-threaded. I tossed them out and used the ones included with the rail from my rifle. Even the rail itself didn't fit perfectly onto my receiver, so I swapped that for the stock one as well.

I'd give the scope a 2-star rating, were it on it's own. The directional indicators for the adjustments both flew off of the scope after about 30 rounds through the gun, and I've had to glue them back on.

As a package, this product fails pretty miserably.

Scopes can be extremely expensive, and many of them won't perform better for this great 22 than this setup! It's nice to have some market this scope with the mount and rings - nothing to it.
