- they're a good little scope for the price, had one for 10 years now & it's been on a lot of springers so recoil proof, it ain't a whitetail as far as light gathering goes but a good close range plinking/ratting scope. btw do you have low energy bulb in your hallway? mine is fine indoors under halogen spotlights but poor under low energy flouro bulbs(my whitetails are ok with this light , they have better coated lenses.
