The BTC Tactical 2.5-10x40 Rifle Scope is almost like a Swiss Army knife. It has a 10x scope that can be used for sniping. It has a 2.5x scope that is useful for close range. And an integrated laser that can substitute for a 1x red dot sight. In this article, we are going to experiment and test this scope for airsoft purposes.
The BTC Tactical 2.5-10x40 Rifle Scope comes in a fashionable and sturdy cardboard box (see photo below). The design is intriguing. And the bux is sturdy enough for re-use.
Inside the box, you'll find the scope with laser, transparent protective cover for both side of the scope, hex wrench, cleaning cloth, a spare scope battery, two spare laser batteries, and instruction sheet. Photo below shows the content.
The red laser is a standard run-of-the-mill lazer-in-a-tube. It seems very similar to stand-alone lasers, except this one is integrated into the scope housing. But the laser is very nice. It has both elevation and windage adjustments (see photo below).
You can unscrew the toggle button to reveal the battery compartment (see photo below). The laser uses two AG13 batteries, which is fairly standard for lasers.
The laser has a toggle button toward the back (see photo below).
In the photo above, you'll also see that the rifle scope has an ten position knob. Two of the positions are off. The other positions are assigned 1 to 4. There are two sets of 1 to 4. One set for red light and one set for green light. While the knob is in the off position, you will see a black crosshair (see photo below).
When I purchased the BTC Tactical 2.5-10x40 Rifle Scope, I was hoping that the scope will act as a red/green dot scope. But strangely, instead of giving you a red or green dot, it lights up the crosshair completely (see photos below).
In a way, it still serves the same purpose as a red/green dot sight at night. The problem is that unlike a dot, which is already too bright for many nights, lighting up the entire crosshair and the rim of the scope means you aren't going to see any dark targets.
So far, I haven't found a good use for the red/green light setting at night. If you have any ideas, let us know.
The Picatinny mount has two thumbscrews, which is very convenient as you don't need any tools to mount or unmount the scope. The bracket are full length (see photo below) to provide a very sturdy and assuring attachment to your rifle.
