Cameralandny sent me this scope for a review, it is my first real review of a scope and it will be strictly from a hunters point of view.
I set it up on an AR to start with as that is the mount it came with, it is attached to the rail with a four screw clamp and seems to be on par with my SWFA and Burris mounts. For an entry priced scope, the glass is very nice. I took the rifle to a javelina hunt in northern AZ and passed it around the camp, everyone was surprised at the clarity of the scope running it back and forth through the power range, in the past a lot of low power variables have had some fisheye on the lower powers, but it was clear to the edges. The javelina were uncooperative and down in numbers out of all the hunters no javelina were sighted, a lot of hours and shoe leather were put into the hunt. I'm back home and will be taking it out coyote hunting.
Sighting it in was a piece of cake, all adjustments were spot on moving the POI exactly where the adjustments were turned to.
My only complaint so far is the reticle. It is a circle dot with elevation hash marks under the circle and below them a heavy vertical bar and the heavy bar tends to draw my eye to the top of it instead of the circle dot but I spend a lot of time behind German #1's and 4's so I'm used to horizontal bars. I would love this reticle with a pointed horizontal bar on either side of the circle dot to focus attention on the circle dot yet leaving enough room for a clear view and tracking moving animals. The illumination is great on low doesn't overpower at night and on high quite useable on overcast days. Here in the desert SW the black reticle works great during the day.
I'm looking forward to getting it on game and see if more time on game will erase some of my concerns about the reticle. I also want to get it on a combo gun and see how it works on one with having both 5.6x52R and 12ga recoil but eye relief seem more than adequate for that.
