Probably the weirdest review for this target but I wanted to leave my two cents. When I was in a time crunch needing 1/2" AR500 steel for a battlebot weapon disk. I turned towards my other hobby of shooting and grabbed a 1/2" 8" gong to use as material. It cut like butter using 30,000psi of water and garnet. It lasted multiple fights impacting other AR500/600 blades spinning at 200mph each. All in all, these targets are made out of a great quality material and I'll be ordering a few more to use as their intended purpose and not weird nerdy battlebot parts. Note: The energy exchanged to cause the chipping would be equal to almost 50BMG and hardened high carbon steel. Your jacketed or even steel core .308 is not going to hurt these targets.

First, I only rate exceptional products as 5-Star products. 3 Stars is an average product that does what it is designed to do. I add a star for excellent value or excellent quality; for both, it gets 5 Stars. However, there is a bit of subjectiveness to this; an item may be rated as 5-Stars against similar items in its price range, but it would never stand a chance against a 3-Star item in a much higher price range. Initially, I did not have a lot of enthusiasm over this scope. When I got around to opening the box and setting it up for a day at the range, I was a bit surprised that the light transmission for this 25.4mm tub surprised me. I was expecting darkness to abound. In fact, light transmission, clarity and adjustability all scored well with my testing. By adjustability, I mean that I was able to use the ocular focus to easily adjust to my old eyes and then my wife, in turn, adjusted it to her needs. The setting did not move until physically moved by she or I. The Adjustable Objective also stayed put after being set and again I was really surprised at how clear and sharp the target was. It was tested on the 50 and 100 yard range. Now, I don't know how well it will hold up to centerfire rifle use over time, but it did just fine atop a 5.56x45mm Modern Sporting Rifle. I then moved it to a 10-22 and that is where it looked like it was at home and where it will stay. It does have an illuminated reticle but we did not use it. However, if anything occurs that reduces my confidence in this riflescope to perform as the plinker scope that it was designed as, I will definitely update this review. It is a 4-Star Scope when compared to others in the sub-$100 range.
