The downsides for this scope are the same as its sister scope the Nikon Prostaff Rimfire EFR. Here are the manufacturer’s specs: Specifications Clarity and sharpness all the way to the edges. You won’t be sorry dropping $140 on a scope of this caliber. Whatever they are doing to there glass it makes it seem like a higher priced scope. The glass on these scopes just blows my mind at the price point. The power ring is smooth as it should be. The BDC reticle is not really my thing, but I could shoot this scope with no problem. However, 60 yards is about my limit with a 22 on a squirrel, and that’s pushing it. I was impressed that we could actually lay down a group using this system. The following circle was 100 yards, after that we didn’t continue testing. The next circle down from the crosshairs ended up being 75 yards for us. We tested this to see if it was accurate and we found it not to be. Now we actually tested this out with CCI Mini-mag 36 grain hollow point, and for a 50 yard zero the next circle was 61 yards, then 81 yards, 97 yards, and 122 yards. Nikon has a program (Spot-On) online and for some smartphones that will allow you to plug in your zero for the ammunition of your choice and you will have corresponding yardages for the circles below the crosshairs. Color is matte black and your reticle is the Nikon BDC (Ballistic Drop Compensator). Your color and reticle options are limited here, but that’s ok as I like the combination. The fast focus eye piece is a added feature for this scope in this price range. It can be difficult to overcome on the target range, but it the woods you won’t be as focused on it when you’ve got a squirrel lined up for a shot. If sighting in at 25 yards or closer you can expect some blurring as the parallax is not adjustable. The parallax for this scope is set at 50 yards as most rimfire scopes are. This scope is manufactured in the Philippines and offers another competitive option in the rimfire market. I have a hunting buddy who has this scope on his Marlin XT-22 and I recently had an opportunity to shoot it for this review. Nikon has finally filled a niche that they have long missed in this market.
