Anybody had any experience with one?

Thinking about getting the 4.5-14x33 or the 3-9x33 both with dotz for my .223 but the price makes me hesitant to buy less thatn $200.00 on midways website. It's gotten great reviews and looks good but idk.

any expiereice?

I'm really looking for a variable scope with a max power of at least 9x with a sub 40mm objective lens. (ex. 33mm or 36mm) for around $350 also with dots.

I use the rifle for mainly opportunistic targets and some coyote calling.

Thanks

I have one on my Encore 405 Win barrel. I like it has good eye relief for the big kicker and clear glass. I have a couple hundred rounds through the 405 and the scope saw duty on an 500 S&W handi rifle for another 300 or so hits..I reckon it will hold up ok.

Thanks Lonerider, that's what i'm looking for. Glad to hear it can hold up to the big bores. Surely it can handle my .223

SWFA has the 3-9x for $119

Holy cow, I reckon so.

There are several of us here - although I confess I don't know any personally.

Oh, and I'm thinking about one for a .223 also.

The Timberline is just another chinese made scope, brought in to meet a price point.

That does not mean it is a bad product, but..............

Built in the Phillipines, not China. I like the looks of the 4.5-14x model, looks like it would be perfect on airguns and rimfire rifles, but I have not seen one in person to be able to give any opinion on the quality.

Thanks I think I'm gonna get the 4.5-14, I think I'll like it.
