I've had a 24X Platinum for about 10 years. It has resided on several rifles both rim fire and centerfire. It currently sits atop an Anschutz 1422. It has been reliable, repeatable and trouble free. It is not optically as clear as the Leupolds, Nikons, Pentax, and Burris's that I own but the price was right! In good light mine does pretty well. It really is a crap shoot as these scopes are produced with very lax specs and as cheaply as possible. I would suggest trying to find one and looking through it before buying since $70 buys a lot of rimfire ammo! Best of luck, Guy
