Any Info On This Scope?

I originally posted this question in the "Firearm Accessories" forum. I thought it might get more response in this category.

To the moderators: If double-posting is frowned upon, please delete the other post.


I received a sales flier from Natchez. They are listing a Tru-Glo 6-24x44 Illuminated Mil-Dot Reticle Rifle Scope on sale for $59.99 (regular price is $285.11). I know that I'm not looking at a Leupold. But for $60, is it a decent scope?

The funny thing is, I looked at Tru-Glo's website and they don't list this model anywhere. I performed a Google search for the part number. The only thing that came up was the Natchez website.

I can't find any information on this model, whatsoever.

Can anyone offer any advice on this scope?

It's a closeout model and no longer made by Truglo. I have the 8-32 model on a precision 10-22, no problems with it, shoots a good box so the adjustments work well. The AO also seems to work very well, focus is easy to adjust.

The glass as you might expect is not the greatest but is acceptable, I keep mine on about 20-24 power and it works good enough. It's not a leupold/Burris/Zeiss etc., but well worth the $60.

Thank you very much for the info. I think I'll buy one of these scopes.

A lot of optics you find at Natchez, that are offered to the retail public is discontinued or refurbished units.

Browning Guy,

What other low end scopes on the market would you compare the quality of glass of the TruGlo with?

I bought one at a gun show put it on a 10/22 I guess you could say got a low end scope not good glass by reason of distorting on higher power so I took it back off and put a 3x9 nikko sterling which is far better to look through not the fogging/dullness on targets experiencing is not too fun so I go no higer than x14 by other low end scopes nexstar would be compared to the same class others will have different choices but these are mine

as long as it is not made totally in China, then I would do it.

i got one those tru-glo scopes last summer at that good price... the glass on mine seems pretty clear and nice to me........ i haven't had a chance yet to get to the range or anywhere to sight it in yet... it seems like a decent scope all the way around to me........
