how would this scope do on teent tiny jewelry markings

I bet this would do a good job. It can read the microprint on US Currency no problem. I amazed my son by showing him the microprint on the US $20 (try looking to the right of Jackson, the "shadow" of USA is actually microprint that is very clear with this). The microprint is nearly invsible without the magnifier, but crystal clear with it. Your question gives me an idea: I'd love to have a project with my son to use his scope to read the laser etching microprint on a certified diamond. I'll have to see if I can find someone with one.

Yes you could look at coins but it'll be a little darker unless you have some good lighting above, since the only light on the scope is underneath. I've used it to look at things like coins though. It works!

If i can work with really tiny gems and set stones, and I have bad eyes. This wo7ld be great for that. The price is awesome, its comfortable to wear long term and good clear sight.

I put it on a riffle that does 3000 GPS. I would probably not recommend this scope because I found it hard to sight it in. But I was using it on a AR 223 so it was hard to see where my rounds were going. It's a cheap scope in my opinion.

The eye relief on this spotting scope is 18.3 mm or almost 3/4 inch. I regularly use it at 200 yards and can see the target very clearly.

Honestly Bruce, this scope level sucks. Both pieces showed different indications in the same place with the one I bought. As for stainless steel, the magnets should work, just might be for not. Hope this helps

Hi Charles, No, you would have too much magnification. I would get a 10x 20x 40x scope that is used for coins and other solid objects. they are also usually less expensive :)

This is a good scope for exploring the moon and seeing the constellations. Depending what magnification you use you might see details on the planets but I haven't yet.

Yep. I put a 4x25 scope on mine and zeroed it in at 25 yards. Its safe enough for a kid to start with. Make sure you buy the .177 pellets that are pointed and not the .22 pellets cause they are too large.

Absolutely. Just test it first. I'd probably use a shotgun/muzzle loader scope instead due to the similarities in vibration.

If your looking for a low profile scope with log magnification then you'll like this on your Mini. Usually I see 3-9x scopes on the Minis I encounter.

They make another version of the scope called the Sweet 17. You might want to look into that one.

Very thin. They won't blot out your target at any range or power. Go to leapers.com for more detail. The important thing about this scope is the 'etched glass' vs. wire reticle. Etched won't come loose or break. Etched is better, IMHO. I did return the scope because of the weight. Exchanged it for its 3x9 cousin. Weight is not a problem for a benchrest shooter. Weight is a problem for a hunter carrying it in the woods. Something to consider. I love the Accushot scopes and own 2. Best bang for the buck, again, IMHO. There are better scopes for twice the price, or more.

the scope was trouble for me as well, i bought a simple red dot holograph and put it on there. worked better.

Depends on what you want to mount in it. If it's a 1x scope you will see the front sight. If it's 4x and above you won't see it because at that magnification the scope can't focus on something that close. At 3-4x you may see a slight blur at the bottom of the scope, but at higher magnifications you likely won't see anything.

I have not measured out any area to view with the scope, so I can not be certain. As the mount for this device is not particularly great I usually end up putting the plastic ring around what I intend to view & zoom in to focus. Is it possible to take 1 cm2 shots with it, likely yes though you will have to experiment with focal lengths to get the magnification & field of view that you want. This device is more of a toy than a piece of lab equipment mainly due to the iffy base & the magnification dial's placement. If something more lab grade that is what you are looking for I recommend a more typical microscope such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/iOptron-ST-80-Digital-Microscope/dp/B0032VFC84/ref=fs_patw_1 It has higher magnification, a backlight, & multiple objective lenses. I hope this was helpful.

Its really good in the 2-6 range, but will work fine up in the teens. 14-16 get pretty hazy though. 16 is barley usable. Great scope for the money though. Mildot comes in handy.
