    JSR (Leapers) Mini 3-9x32 AO Mildot

    I have been after a cheap scope to put on my old HW77K to use for a bit of fun springer HFT and was intrigued by this little scope as the small objective should give good depth of field.

    At just £57.95 from our sponsor I thought it worth a punt so I ordered one.

    Delivery was up to JSR's normal high standards and it arrived next day along with a pair of Accushot mounts I also ordered well packed in a stout box.

    The mildots are true at 9x according to the instructions that came with it, naturally it has an adjustable eyepiece to suit your vision, the scope is springer rated and is a handsome, if petite, chap.

    I bolted it on and took it to the club today to get it zeroed in.

    The easy to grip 1/4 click turrets made zeroing easy and it was sorted within 10 mins.

    As I had hoped, setting it so that 45 yard tagets were just blurred with 40 yards in sharp focus meant that I was able to make out the small spinner set at 8 yards quite well. OK, so it was a bit blurred but I could easily make out pellet strike marks on it so I think it is going to be just fine for its intended purpose. The scope will actually focus as close as 3 yards at full mag so could be a good ratting scope for somebody too. The adjustable objective and the zoom ring seem just right to me, not too stiff but not sloppy either and all in all I am very pleased with it.

    The only tiny gripe I would have is that in common with most of these cheaper scopes the crosshairs on which the mildots are strung are marginally on the thick side, I would prefer a more "skeleton mildot" reticule.

    I can't fault the glass though, it gives a lovely sight picture that is sharp edge to edge and surprisingly bright for such a small objective lens.
