Inexpensive yet well made

Butler Creek Rider Advantage Timber

I'm using this product on a KWA M4A1 airsoft gun with traditional weaver mounting.

The good side:
It has all the features you would need for a good airsoft scope and one of the cheapest. Its bright enough for playing in the sun, it has a wide range of adjustment in the dot to pinpoint where your bbs are hitting, it has a front cover that protects the lens from being hit without obstructing any of your sight line (I know it looks like it in the picture, but it does not cover any additional space, it only can cause a glare the makes your view somewhat hazy), and the dot is tight and compact (its not a blaring spot light that blocks your view, especially the green dot). The adjustment moves in small increments (clicks) and is easy to get the dot exactly where you want it. The scope is made with a strong material. It raises enough with its own mounting to allow a paintball mask to be worn while looking through it, though you only see through about 3/4 of the scope sightline (which is enough to see the dot). The front sight on the M4 does block some of the scope sightline but the dot sits high enough above the front sight so that you don't even notice. The scope came with an extra battery (remember to turn your dot off after your don't shooting, its easy to forget and can run down your battery).

The 1 down side:
The scope will hold firmly to the rail without shifting if adjusted properly, tightening the screws after its aligned just right. Sometimes on my rail the scope can wobble/pop/shift a few millimeters to the left or back meaning that the hold isn't gripping the rail securely. The scope certainly won't come off and the shift is minor, but it may be irritating. This is not a big problem because with some minor tweaking it will hold perfectly secure.

Here is a guy who did a video review on the product (it will give you a chance to see what the inside of the scope looks like).

  1. Pretty much as I expected it to be, decent quality for the price. Fit on my 870 and my 7mm Mag.{I ordered 2}. Price was dollars less per item than Bass Pro or Gander Mountain retail stores. Sling held tight while jostling weapon around, shoulder pad reduced the effect the weight of the weapon had on my shoulder. If you spend weeks or months out on the plains of Africa then buy a leather sling. Out for a few hours a day or week, then this wont fail you. Also had enough slack to fit over some cold weather clothes and Im 6ft 5in 240lbs. Zero complaints.

  2. I like the look and feel of this sling. It has a ridge of somewhat tacky material on the underside that helps keep the sling on the shoulder. It has enough padding for me and the width is good for weight distribution. I should be able to carry my Remington 700 for miles without a problem. Attachment to the sling swivels (not included) and adjustment of the sling to the rifle and my body was easy.

  3. Got it for my Airsoft rifle. I play quite bit and this has held up fine. Comfortable and light. After about 2 years of use there are no major signs of wear.
