I purchased this for my son's AR-15 in .22 during Friends & Family Sale on Guidefitter and am very pleased. With the "traditional thinking" being a .22 scope should be 3x9, I wasn't sure about the 2x7 magnification but it is great. I think that sometimes we try to put too much scope power on our rifles and this is an adjustment towards reality. My son isn't trying to be a benchrest shooter, he is trying to learn how to shoot and this is a great scope for that purpose. I guess if you wanted to be critical, you could ask for an illuminated reticle but again, this is for learning and it does that job very will. Yes, I will buy another one!
