I was thinking about the 2022 National Match today and started looking thru gear. For fun I pulled my Cabela's Covanant5 5-25x56mm scope off my 243 and plopped it on the Beeman 100 because I noticed it had a 15yd side focus range. It has found a new home; makes shooting at match heads exceptionally easy. Too windy for my 70yd bier can test, but boy the can appears huge at 25x.
I watch too much AirGunnerTV and like to try some of their trick shots, this should make shooting aspirin a little easier because I can see them now.
This is not a paid endorsement; just my opinion. Before Cabela's was bought out I bought a lot of their gear and found it to be a very reasonable quality for the price. I bought the scope last year on sale and put it on a 243 and at 100yd it made shooting tiny targets easy. At 25x it dims a little, but in full sunlight, like a range day, it is negligible. Certainly not a dusk or dawn hunting scope. At high magnification, like all scopes you have keep your eye lined up right, but a good cheek weld reduces that frustration. it has a crazy reticle with hashes and dots. On the 243 it was a distraction but on the Beeman when I looked at the 70yd targets suddenly I liked all those marks so I could measure when I hit the backer and not the can. It should be a help.
At $199 on sale, it seems a good bargain for a PCP scope. I would not put it on a springer or nitropiston gun though. Hopefully someone will find the information useful.
