Mike: FWIW I had to track a whitetail (wounded by somebody else...) when I still had the Ingwe Special. In a creek bottom, on my hands and knees as it was literally too thick to stand up...and I spied a black dot on top of a log certainly no more than 15 feet away....it was his eye and at 1.5 X I promptly put a bullet through it. Search over!
So I know the scope works at those ranges!
Plus, the rifle shoots flat out to 15 feet!
