I have a couple and they work just fine on low recoil bolt guns. For the money (I got them cheap) they are great scopes to put on .223s and 17HMRs. They are really clear and have good positive clicks that seem to repeat.

 

Personally I never trust an inexpensive scope of ANY brand on anything that has more recoil than a std weight .308 or on ARs with the bolt carrier slam.................

Yeah, I was wondering about those, too. Thought the 4-12 might be OK for the Hornet. Seem to border on ugly with that weird-looking ocular bell; guess one can't gripe for the price. Is the "Aspherical Lense System" scientifically sound or just a gimmick?

the lower priced unit is essentially the old Simmons 44mag and the slightly higher priced unit with the Aspherical lens is the Simmons Aetec re-do... Intensity's are a decent value ,especially at those highly discounted prices ..

A quick report.  I mounted it on a Savage116 7mm mag rifle that I have not shot before.  Externally the scope appears to be of decent quality and "feel".  The optics exhibit  the fisheye effect at the upper magnification. Focusing was good.  After bore sighting, The gun was shot at 30 yds resulting in  a two shot group of 1/2 inch. The next group was shot at 100 yds and 2 shots were touching but about 6" high and 1" to the right.  I adjusted scope 4 clicks left and 24 clicks down. Next group (3 shot)was 1 1/4" but about 1" low and 1/2 " to the left.  At this point I ran out of sunlight.  Overall,  to this point, everything seems OK except that the scope adjusts more like 1/3 of an inch per click instead of 1/4".

I had a close friend ask me about these I had not a clue what to tell him...

I assume that the claim about them being close to a monarch was meaning in size and shape or was it about clarity and brightness.
 
I would crap my pants if they are as clear and as bright as a Nikon Monarch and buy as many as I could for the 30-50 he said they were...
