I think it’s good that Kalibrgun incorporated this feature to prevent rear movement. Even if the regulator doesn’t move (because the external O-rings compression will prevent it), it’s still a good measure of avoidance and one less possible issue to worry about, in…Read more

At least on mine, it is a tight fit when everything is in place – regulator, spacer, and valve assembly.

Even though the scope has not been tested, I already know that it won’t be able to hold zero, especially on a springer, because the objective bell moves when turning the dial. I also confirmed this by using the mirror method to optically center the reticle. When turning the objective/focus knob…Read more

It is currently priced at $79.99, but I had to pay $5 for tax for the state I’m in (when did Amazon start charging state-specific tax?). Shipping was free; I just went with the standard shipping option, but it only took four days for me to receive it. Did yours come with the quick-release mounts though?…Read more

I am impressed with its build; fit and finish is great and on par with my Hawke Sidewinders. The glass is quite clear for its price. I also really like how it can focus down to 3 yards and how crisp the turret clicks are. Best of all, it’s small, compact, and light, which I think would subtract some of the…Read more

amjadck, just curious, if your Nikko Stirling was able to only go up to 9X, how were you able to figure out the mildot standard was at 9.8X? I calibrate the mildot standard on all my scopes by using calibrated mildot sheets. I just wanted to ask the question given that most scopes are set at 10X whereas the Bug…Read more
