Question 1

Does this scope come with flip up scope covers? If not, any recommendations?

Accepted Answer

The scope does not come with flip up scope covers. I purchased Butler Creek ones and they work great. For the eye piece go with size 14-15-16 (their sizing is weird) and for the objective  go with 13-15. They work great and I have no complaints.

Question 2

Is it good in dark areas

Accepted Answer

Me owning both a 44mm and a 50mm I’d say if you want one for lower light go 50mm.  I’ve heard that it doesn’t matter but like I said i have both.. the 50mm you can see earlier in the morning and later into the night.. only down side is if your facing a sun rise or a sun down the 50mm absorbs to much light causing a glare.. you can buy a screw in extender that takes care of that tho.. hope That helped

Question 3

will this scope hold up to the pounding of the AK47 recoil

Accepted Answer

This is an amazing scope. Like the others have said handling a 416 rigby and a 338 win mag itll hold up to the 7.62x39 for sure. I know ur thinking probably about the continual jarring of a semi automatic but this scope holds up just fine. Best thing is u cant go wrong with vortexes warranty. I have two a 2-7x32 on my 375 HH, and a 3-9x40 on my .30.06, and only had one issue on the 3-9x40 from a shooting trip after i got it home i guess it got knocked around too hard and there was like dirt  inside of the glass. I called vortex they sent me a sgipping label and said well fix it ir replace it and in a week or two i got my scope back good as new.  I love vortex the scopes are great, and the customer service cant be beat.

Question 4

What type of crosshairs does it have?

Accepted Answer

It has a duplex crosshairs, with the addition of three ballistic-drop-compensating (BDC) hash marks on the bottom part of the reticle.   The hash marks are located at 1.5, 4.5 and 7.5 minutes of angle below the center.   If you find the bullet drop for your cartridge with a given zero point, the BDC hashes will show you where to hold for longer ranges.
