Reporting back in the simplest terms, buy with confidence if you are looking at an EP5. I am of the opinion the scope hits well above its weight class and is a rock solid performer. While some will complain about the illumination, it has never been a requirement of mine. Ever. It will more...

Another Bluetooth call and I stood out in our yard working the bolt and the scope at various distances. If you have spent time behind scopes you know what you like, you don't like ...what works and what makes its use good, bad, or workable. I am not finding anything I outright dislike about the...

I have contacted MPA to no avail and I am not certain they even make one. If someone has a lead on one or one for sale, ping me.

I'll take it
