Yeah, & this one has better glass. I put it on a lil springer. The only issue I have is the diopter only adjusts to about 2.5+ Maybe 3+corrections, cats in both of my eyes & use 3.5+ in my reading glasses/bifocals So, I just Adjusted the Diopter back in & and used my readers. If your eyes are not bad this won't be an issue, I have found this on a few scopes & use a Bulzeye Booster to correct this., if I like a scope. Of course, that magnifies the image my eye sees, to me is a plus. I will put it on the vixen in a day or two and see how it does with an accurate rifle. If it works will take a few squirrels with it this fall, just for old times' sake.

Tried to take a photo thru the scope at a 60-yard target, but I could not get a decent shot, but the optic is clear, small FOV, and very little parallax error at 10 to 60 yards.

Oh, that company was very prompt, I ordered it on a weekend, & got a message in a few hours that they printed a shipping label and mailed it out the first business day. It has been at my PO for a few days. I personally would not recommend this to a person who has not lived in the era of 3/4 & 7/8-inch tube scopes.

Bulzeye booster. They make the image you see bigger & clearer & the reticule clear & more prominent. I have half a dozen around here someplace. I started with a 2.5; my last was a 4. You need to get the right one for your eyesight. They help me a lot, but like everything else, some people don't like them. You can talk to the guy who sells them if you have questions. I just got one the other day that screws into my Leupold eyepieces.

Yep, exactly. Part of my eyesight problem burned them out from welding, grinding wheel, steel shavings & rock dust, plus being in the sun 12 hours a day for 50 years. But nothing last forever.

I like the ones that screw into the eyepiece better than the rubber thingy. But the threaded ones only fit a few scopes.

I just had a little Weaver j2.5 scope rebuilt, reblued, and a post crosshair reticule installed. The j series is a 3/4"tube came out the ssame time as the larger much more popular K series with a 1" tube. I got it to mount on a little Marlin 39a Mountie. I put the scope in a set of Warne QD rings for a 3/8" dovetail monunt. To put the scope in a set of 1"rings I found some reducer bushings at Brownells. This set up allows the scope to just clear a Lyman receiver sight mounted at the rear of the receiver, and the quick detachable function allows me the quick use of either a diopter or scope sight. I did have a larger K model but it just looked too large on the rifle.
