I have a lot of good scopes and know what a good scope is. I shoot upstairs in my house. I have 3 Airhawks and one I keep it 500 Fps (or close LOL) for in house shooting. Was using the stock Airhawk scope which was a fixed power. After reading reviews I bought a new scope. I liked my RioRand Red dot sights on my two P17's so much I thought it was worth $59. and free shipping to try one of their scopes. Nice and clear scope on 10 power for shooting 30 feet. Scope is 16 inchs in length with no sunshade that you can order extra for $9.99. Now to see how long it lasts. 18 month warranty and built for high recoil, shock proof and water proof they say. Time will tell.

Anyone else buy one and what you think?

CHEERS!

I bought one as well 7 or 8 months ago and it works well, was shooting really tight groups at 50 yards. Needs the sun shade though, at 80 yards with some sun getting in I had a terrible time seeing the target. Where did you find one listed for $10? I'll have to take a look on amazon and order one if that is where you found it.

One review on there says no eye piece or sunshade, but lens covers instead.

I must not have got that far into the reviews, but if you look at the pics people posted with their reviews, all have the sun shade, but not the rubber eyepiece. It does say upgrade in brackets in the description, so I'm guessing the sun shade is a new feature included.

Back to the RioRand, I found it to have no problem with accuracy at all, at 50 yards. Fairly clear when not looking into the sun, which like any scope, need a sun shade, so I'm told. The turrets are nice to use, no zeroing but seem to click nicely and work well. AO works well, close at least to optimum focus at the yardage marks. I think I had to go slightly past fifty yards on the scope for clearest picture, but was close and at 8 yards in the house it is clear as well when turned to its lowest setting. Although turning the scope to 24 power at very short range still causes blur. My basement is quite dim and I can still see quite clearly with it, so it let's light in fairly well too. I've complained about it being heavy but for such a huge thing it's not bad. My scale says 1lb 9 oz with rings and scope cover.
