I beleive it, on mine if you turn it all the way up it is hard to focus, and you wouldnt be able to see either if you didnt turn it down some.
There was a guy with one of those at the range not too long ago. Just a 100 yard range, so all he needed was to see his holes in the paper down there, so not too demanding.
We ended up using my leupold rifle scope instead.
He took it straight back to harbor freight and returned it. I didn’t look through it, but he said he couldn’t see anything.
I bought a simialr one , paid about 50 dollers. not expecticg the world just wanted a scope i could use and not worry about, and it is fuctional out to 100 yards, 20x 60. when you try and turn it up to 60 it becomes unclear, so you find a spot in the 40’s or so and it work’s out.YOu cant see bullet holes past 100 and barely at 100.BUt works great for under 100.Just to give you an idea about off brand cheaper scopes.
IF you want a scope that seems to massage your eyes while looking thru it , then this is it,for the price, this is the one that i want , and have looked thru allot. friend has one.

I bet this one is way better and the same price. dont know personally , but the burris scopes are good stuff.

its isnt bad at all
i bought one when i was in ohio at harbor freight last year i think i paid 60
i was using it spotting hogs out to 300 yards it worked just fine for that
now it is at my sister inlaws house in their bay window they can spot down across the fields to where i hunt around 3-400 yds and see deer,turks, yotes fine
it is by no means a swarovski if you plan to stare through it all day long on an elk hunt i sugest a better one but if its just for airgunning and stuff go for it
Lets be real. for 50 bucks its not going to be a great scope .
BUT, for what we use it for , about 100 yards or so, I would think that it would be serviceable.
I bought a cheap chineese “”Winchester”” spotting scope for $120
Is it great ?? hell no . But you can use it OK .
SO for 50 bucks , you can return it or toss it out .
I would try it .
