Was using a Hawke 2-7x32 but it's a little short on magnification for my eyes, and it had to be a little higher on the rail for the A/O to clear the shroud. In addition it was always a pain to hold the gun up with my left hand on pistol grip and adjust the bell with my right. Decided I needed a side wheel scope that would also clear the mag well. Enter the UTG 10x44. With etched reticle and 1/2 mildots it fits perfect with my millet rings. I use these as the BSA rail is slightly wider then other guns and regular rings are off to one side. These rings tighten to rail on both sides. I just center the reticle left/right inside the scope, and "try" to center the rings on the rail. Then use the mounting screws to move the scope left or right to get it sighted in.
This scope is real clear with a nice reticle for squirrel hunting. The bell of scope clears the receiver by about 1/32". It is so much easier to shoulder the gun, hold the forearm with my right hand and use my left hand to adjust the side wheel.
Best of all - scope was $95 delivered and the wheel was $14.
