I've owned the mossberg 715t for a few years now, have never really tried to sight it in for more than a pop can. The "iron"(plastic) sight is just not good enough. . Recently bought some splatter burst targets and was getting some good groups in the 2" circle from 25 yrds. So I ordered this hoping the cross hairs/dots will improve it a tad

20 5 star reviews and $30 free shipping was enough to pull the trigger on it. Will update a review once I mount & shoot it
 
If it doesn't try fitco scopes. Super cheap. They've held up on my 3.5" 12 ga pump. I use them on most of my rimfires. Clear Brite 4x and 6x. The shipping cost the same as the scopes when they were on sale
 
I had a bunch od Fitco scopes, never again. 3 came apart on 10-22s. I have a very old Japan made Tasco that still works well. My advice is that you will shoot the 22 100X as often as any other gun so get a decent scope. There are some good scopes in the $150-200 range that will serve you well. Many of us have tried many brands of "sows ears" and were not happy. Cheaper in the long run and happier too.
 
Well fast on time shipping from Amazon as always. Initial unboxing has me very impressed. The scope came in a nice box all logo' up with aim sport brand and details. Was expecting brown cardboard. Scope has some weight to it. Was expecting it to feel cheap and light but so far it feels nice. Also came with a manual , glass cleaner, and the elastic glass caps. For 30$ so far so good. Will see how it mounts next
 
They might seem ok but you gotta think about what's going on inside a scope and the level of machining required to make a decent unit. There's a reason it cost $30. I'd rather start a fire with a $20 and a $10 bill. Prepare for your inevitable disappointment. Buy once cry once.
