Have made a couple trips to the range in bright sunlight.....able to spot 223/5.56mm holes in a paper target at 100 yards.....didn't really plan on using the cheap tripod enclosed, have a competitive scope stand, and also a scope mount on the inside lid of my bullseye competitive pistol box...weight was a factor and size, so at 1.1 pounds and 13 inches, this scope works........does what I need at a cost effective price......
