I like it because of the size primarily. I don't like a scope that looks like it has a rifle attached below it!! I also like the fixed 6x power too especially for a squirrel rifle. However this particular model is a bit critical as far as eye relief and optic aperture. It does have an ao which is good for focusing at different distances and correcting parallax ect. It seems like it is difficult to find a quality small scope. TTT
