After using the BugBuster for a week I find it to be a useful scope on the Crossman 2260 airgun. The number one best option is the ability to adjust the parallax to as close as three yards. It is built like a tank and looks as though it will hold up forever. The field of view is very small and the eye relief is very short (2.9 inches) limiting where it can be mounted and on what guns. It will not work in the scout position as is needed on the Benjamin pumper and similar guns. It has a 21 foot field of view at 100 yards which sounds sufficient but that amounts to very little at 10-25 yards which is where most airgun shots are taken. The mil-dot reticle is a nice feature for hold-over or wind drift correction. It also has a green or red illuminated reticle for which I have not found a use yet as I have only used it in good light. The pop open scope covers are nice but the front cover must be removed in you use the adjustable objective for a large yardage change. For the price it seems to be well worth the money. Remember this is a mini scope and can not compete with full size scopes. If you shoot over 30 yards you may want to look at one of the Airgun scopes with more field of view. I have ordered a Simmons Airpro for my 1377 carbine I am building. It was back ordered from Natchez so we will see if it comes in so I can do a comparsion to the Leapers.
