Pinty Rifle Scope AO Red Green Blue Illuminated Mil Dot with Flip-Open Covers, Sunshade Tube

This is an edited review. I originally only gave 3 stars because one of the two scopes I ordered came used, with missing components. Shortly after my review was posted on amazon, I was contacted by the seller, with an offer to correct the issue. 1st and foremost, I need to mention that AMAZON messed this up, not Banyan Imports. Orders for these Pinty scopes from Banyan are fulfilled by Amazon. Regardless of the Amazon error, Banyan took ownership, and offered to replace the used scope with a new one. They must have had it in process, because I responded with a yes please on Saturday Dec 6th,in the evening. Sunday Banyan sent me notification they would send out the new scope with an expected arrival in 3 to 7 business days. Today (Dec 8th) the new scope arrived. Hats off to Banyan for such great customer support. I did mount the previous NIB scope on a .308 CZ 557 Carbine, and ran 60 rounds of ammo thru the rifle. The scope performed nicely. Has very bright optics, good focus and parallax adjustment. The product picture is out of date, as all the scopes I have received thus far have 1/4 MOA adjustments. The illuminated reticle is bright and clear. When I need another scope, I will buy another of these from Banyan.

Ordered this Pinty scope for my airsoft sniping kit. The glass is surprisingly clear, but the light up reticle options seem basically useless. Another thing to point out about them is that they can be seen from the target end of the scope. Thankfully, that’s not why I bought the scope. I wanted a scope that had all the proper adjustments and didn’t require the removal of a cap for adjustments in the field, and of course I wanted a sunshade. :) For myself the scope rings that come with are a little high, so I would recommend getting something slightly lower profile. All in all, a good scope for dirt cheap. I wouldn’t go putting it on a high power rifle, but for a 22 or 17 HMR this would be a decent pick. I’ll be using it for airsoft in which case it will be banged on and beat up and probably at some point submersed in who knows what. We’ll see how it does! I’ve also yet to test the light gathering which I don’t expect to be amazing. If I remember to, I will come back and edit my review after I’ve had the scope for a little longer.

I mounted the scope on a 308 but soon discovered that the scope didn’t like the recoil and kept losing zero. I remounted the scope on my 223 (5.65) and it kept zero and operated as expected. Can’t beat the price.

Great value for the money I spent. Performs just as good the more expensive rifle sights. Holds zero very durable easy to install. Great fit for center fire rifle. Great magnification I'm able to see clearly out to 100 yards.

I currently have this scope mounted on a Ruger American Rimfire in .22LR. At 50 yards, I'm practically stacking the shots on top of each other, so it holds zero very well on a .22. Resettable turrets are nice, and being able to make adjustments without messing up zero is awesome. However I will say this, at least on my scope, the turret markings don't always line up with the clicks. For example, I adjusted 24 clicks up, which should put me at 6 MOA. However, it was only to 5.5 MOA. You can see as you turn the knob that the adjustment will sometimes rest in between values on the turret, and it became obvious to me that it would not adjust correctly with respect to the actual click values. By the way, the scope click values are clearly listed as 1/4 MOA on the turrets, not the 1/2 MOA shown in the pictures. As far as the MRAD reticle, 1 Mil at 50 yards is approximately 1.75 inches. So I tested this with a strip of tape whose edge was 1.75 inches away from the edge of the paper on a target 50 yards away, and they lined up perfectly. So I can confirm that mil-dots are truly 1 Mil apart at the 9x magnification setting. In the scope of things, the turret issue isn't that big of a deal. If you just rely on click values like I did to test the turrets in the first place, you don't even need to use them. However they are a HUGE help in returning to original zero after adjusting. Even though the intermittent adjustments to the scope will be off, as long as you align the zero mark with the line up point when resetting the turret, the zero will always line up when returned back. You could technically remove that issue entirely and just use the mil-dot reticle to do holdovers. Illumination is good, while 3 colors seem a little unnecessary to me personally, it is very useful in lowlight and dusk scenarios. Adjustable objective is stiff, but not too stiff. Just the right amount of torque required to turn it if you ask me. Also, for the folks wondering about how to attach the sunshade, you have to remove the small ring in the end of the objective lens first, then screw in the sunshade in its place. You can then put the protective ring on the other end of the sun shade, this is why the sunshade is threaded on both ends. Overall, I don't see how you could do better for the price point. The only issue I could find with it was the turret markings being misaligned with the actually click values. Seems to be very robustly built, and the light transmission is excellent for a 1" tube. The rings that come with it are a mile too high for a bolt action however. If you have a flat top receiver such as and AR pattern rifle, those would probably work fine. Pinty gets an A from me with this one.

Honestly for the price it’s a good scope. Put this on an 5.56 and had an easy zero in and has stayed zeroed well into 500+ rounds.

Fit good! Look solid! I will know after couple hundred round out of a 308.

Was pretty excited about this budget scope at first. The scope was package well for shipping and arrived with no visible damage. Mounted to my Barra 250z PCP rifle with no issues. The rear eye cap does not stay on and slips off easily. I did see in the reviews that another customer had the same issue. The issue I had was the illuminated reticle when set on red. When I turn on the red color reticle there is major light bleed or flare inside the scope. It does not do this on the green or blue color. I own other scopes with light up reticles and have not encountered this before. Not sure if I received a dud. The fit and finish of the scope looks good. Zeroed out the scope at 30 yards easily. The illuminated reticle is my only issue so I'm not sure if I should return the scope and try something else. Update: Seller reached out to me and after trouble shooting the issue I had with the light up reticle sent me a new unit. I received a new scope within a few days. New scope has the same fit and finish as the original which was good overall. Tested the reticle and this one is acceptable. Very good customer service!
