Daisy Winchester Outdoor Products 2-7 x 32 AO Winchester Scope (Black, 2-7 x 32)

I’m an indoor plinker when I can’t make it out to the range, with my office room having an effective shooting distance of 15ft (or 50ft if I lock the cats up — not an easy task!). This means standard scopes aren’t too useful with the factory parallax settings of 20 yards. I was pleased when I found this cheap AO scope, and I’m glad I bought it.Pros:- Fairly clear picture even at the max magnification of 7x. Yes, it is blurrier than a nice $150 scope, but that’s not what this is. You can still see the target well enough, although with less light focusing — it’s only a 32mm objective.- AO really does work down to 15ft!- Adjustment knobs are shaped in a way that I can easily (and comfortably) turn with my fingers. None of my other scopes in this price bracket have this nice feature.- Holding zero after 1k rounds.Cons:- Poor eye relief. I don’t know what the specs are (not posted on Amazon), but I just measured it out around 60-70mm. For rifles with longer stock, this makes it rather difficult to use comfortably, but fortunately, my Daisy 953 allows the scope to sit close enough to not let eye relief become an issue. Most of my other scopes are ~80mm eye relief, so this was kind of disappointing.- AO markings aren’t quite accurate. I set it to exactly the 15ft marking. Bench-mounted, I see about 2″ of parallax-induced error on target from moving my face laterally. Reading online articles on the matter, it’s apparently fairly common for cheap AO scopes to have inaccurate AO markings. I turned it all the way left as it would go (to the lowest level), and that finally eliminated parallax for 15ft. I was amazed at how accurate it made the rifle once finally properly tuned.So my advice would be to not trust the markings, mount your rifle in a stationary position, pointed at a target. Move your head around to see if your reticle moves. Keep adjusting your AO level until your reticle doesn’t leave the intended Point of Aim.- Dovetail mount width is slightly too large(?) for my Daisy 953. Could be the rifle, or could be the rings. I’ll have to buy new rings to see where the fault lies, but the bundled rings make my entire scope assembly lean to the right when tightened. I’m not sure if that’s really affecting my accuracy, so I’m leaving it be for now.All in all, I feel it’s hard to beat this scope for its price. I’m getting 0.2in C-T-C 10 round groups at 15ft now, with cheap lead-free .177 pellets (they’re not accurate much, but I’d rather not use lead in my office), so I’m pretty pleased with the scope’s performance so far.Thanks for reading.
