Review of: Sun Optics 3-9x50 & 6-24x50 Air-A-Tac Rifle Scopes
by: Lighthorse (Ken Leamy)

Hey guys I just got a hold of the Sun Optics 3-9x50 Air-A-Tac Rifle Scope. WOW,
My fiancee will like this, nice optics very clear.
Oh cool a friend just received the Air-A-Tac 6-24x50 So I am going to set them up
using the same rifle and see what we come up with.
These scopes were designed for airgunners, the focal range of the 3-9 is 5yds. to Inf
the the 6-24's focal range is 15 to inf. They feature an etched glass micro-mil dot
reticle with red, green or blue IR selection. With the IR off the black reticle is
very easy to read.
The Zoom ring is very smooth to turn, the clicks on the turrets are sharp and distinct.
The focus ring on both scopes is stiff but precise, I would recommend adding a Breakaway Nylon
Coaster Cat Tail
( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )
to make focusing easier on both of these scopes.
I loved the fact that even under low light conditions the focus was bright and clear on
both of these scopes. I tried them at night with a green hunting light put the IR on
red #1 and all I can say is WOW.
I do wish my camera would focus through the scope better, I tried and the pictures through
the scope didn't quite come out the way I wanted, someday I might be able to afford a better
camera. The 50 and 75 yard shot is through the trees in deep shade (I added a Photo of my lane 2)
and I was pleasantly surprised on the contrast, a nice clear shot on both scopes.
Trust me the clarity of these scopes are fa-nominal. So I decided to Box test them and I
must say they are very consistent. As the 3-9 is going on my fiancee's TalonP and the
other is not mine I cant take them out in the wilds and beat up a bear with them
( I'm sure he would win anyway ) but they do look very rugged.

Pros: Crystal Clear, Precise Turrets, Airgun Rated, very well made.

Cons: The only con I could find was...... Darn, Couldn't find any, well maybe one,
would be nice if the 6-24 focused to 10yds.
