    I got one of these last year. Looks like the same brand.
    Its surprisingly good for the price but I personally found the optics were
    not good enough to use for (rimfire) target shooting. at 50m you could make out the holes,
    but a little blurry at 100m It would not focus sharp enough to let me make out my entry holes
    on the papertarget.

    I'm sure if someone went to the bother they could open one up and mess about with
    it to fine tune the focus wheel.

    I don't think it would help trying to tun it, most likely its cheap glass in it.

    :confused::confused:
    Its the cheap len's that prevent you from focusing correctly at longer ranges, no amount of fiddling about will make them any better. IMO
    Thats why you pay BIG $$$ for better scopes, its the better glass.
