I know there are a bunch of people here with the Alpha 6 and for the money, the optics are really nice. I think I got mine after YoDoyle recommended it for a price of about $200. Of course, as usual, I was a little late and ended up paying about $220, if I remember correctly? That’s still a great price. My son was using the scope and really did enjoy it. We had talked about buying something with more magnification because we shoot past 150yds often and my son has a hard time seeing the tiny bullseye, differentiating the pellet holes. past 100 yards. We decided we would wait and buy a scope down the road at some point, or if we could swoop in on the Sightron SIII sale, we’d get one of those. They have come up for sale for under $700 twice recently and we missed out both times. Just our luck! Lol. If anyone bought two or three or four and would be willing to sell one, please get a hold of me. I am interested! We just don’t want the one with a standard mil dot reticle.
So, a couple of weekends ago my sons and I were shooting at 50 yds, we started shooting at the 100 yard target and my son Alex’s pellet strikes were consistently low. I asked him what was going on. He said he didn’t know. He dialed more elevation, nothing. The elevation turret had quit working properly. We took it apart and looked everything over, couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary. We locked the scope in our tripod’s gimbal head to hold it steady and cranked the elevation. I made 3-4 full revolutions up and down over and over, the turret just wouldn’t give him any elevation, or any movement at all for that matter. My boys and I shoot at fairly distant targets pretty often and almost always dial elevation and hold for wind. Without the elevation turret working properly, it’s no good to us. I already bought Alex a new scope but I am going to contact Aim Sport and see how good their warranty really is. Hopefully the scope can be repaired or replaced in a timely fashion.
Like I said already, there are a lot of people here on AGN that have purchased and use this scope at the advise of YoDoyle. This is the first one that I’ve heard of that has taken a dump. I don’t know if we just got a bad one or it happened because we dial elevation every time we shoot. Either way the scope crapped out on us and I wanted to see if anyone else has had a problem with their elevation or windage turrets and make you aware. On the bright side, it’s hard to complain about a pretty good scope that only cost $220 and has a lifetime warranty.
Have a great evening. Stoti
