[OptiOh] Pointer QD Auto-Lock Picatinny Weaver, Second-Hand

Product Description:

It’s a high-end, second focal plane (SFP) hunting scope aimed at vermin control, woodland stalking, airgun use, rimfire, or lighter centrefire rifles. Solidly built and surprisingly capable for the price (RRP around £425). Reviewers call it “a decent scope at a sensible price” that punches above its weight for everyday field use.

Features & Performance Highlights

Low-light capability: The big 56 mm objective + multi-coating gives a bright, usable sight picture even in gloomy conditions. Reviewers noted it performed well on overcast mornings for squirrel/rabbit control.

Versatility: Low end (3–6x) offers a wide field of view for fast target acquisition in woods or at feeders. High end (12–18x) is great for precise shots out to medium-long range.
Illumination: Only the centre dot lights up — perfect for dawn/dusk without washing out the reticle. Easy outer dial control.
Practical extras: Zoom ring has a raised notch for gloved use. Side focus is smooth and precise down to 10 m.

Overall Assessment

This is a solid mid-level hunting scope for the money. It’s not a premium European or American optic (no ED glass or ultra-high-end coatings), but it delivers clear, sharp images edge-to-edge at lower powers, reliable mechanics, and enough features to handle real-world use without disappointment.

It's a good classic scope that will just keep going forever, and is known for its lifetime guarantee.

It’s especially popular with UK airgun and .22/.17 HMR shooters for pest control, but works on centrefire rifles too.

If you’re on a budget and want big-objective low-light performance plus illumination, it’s a strong contender against similar Hawke, MTC, or Konus models.
