Been eyeballing this online for a month now. Found local store with one several in stock at $371.00. Put it in a medium DNZ mount on my Tikka T3x lite today. Bought some Winchester factory ammo for the brass. Decided to go zero it in and get the brass to load up some eldx for more testing.
Pros. Glass is great. No fuzzy outlines at any magnification. MOA #s listed down the elevation and windage hashmarks. Not super cluttered reticle at all. Lighted reticle May be good at darker hours but not needed in the day. Came with sunshade. Turrets are good and crisp and audible. Tracks and returns to zero just fine.
Cons. No zero stop. Turrets resettable to zero but way grooves line up on caps and turret it may be one click off. Elevation at my zero stayed true but windage off one click. Should have had screws around the turrets instead of one in the center so cap could catch turret pins for perfect zero reset. Even spring loaded would have been nice.
Other than the one click off on zero reset this is a great scope for the money. Medium mount let the scope lay low enough for perfect cheek weld. Forgot to mention eye relief is great. Close to 3.8 inches more than specs say. Low parralex setting from 20 yards to infinity. Going to pick up one more for my 7 mm mag. It’s given me scope eye a few times. With factory ammo which I don’t shoot and wouldn’t have if had not needed the brass right away the small Vortex Nation target was clean and clear on 18 power. Shot around 3/4 inch groups with it today but it will do less than 1/2 inch with my reloads. Now that I can see the target better may be able to tighten that up some. 3 power perfect for hunting and the 18 good enough to let me get farther out.
Pleased with this one for now.
