I am very happy with it. I have dialed out to 1200 and back to 200. zero was true. took her out for a...

    I shot my 5x25 side by side to a pst on a 700 tactical 308. my friend wanted to trade me +$300. no deal!!! clarity is very good. I personally prefer it over my sightron on my 25-06. Ive never been on the bushnell train, so I cant tell you about it. long story short, I love my new scope, and if I...

    ok guys. had a long range session yesterday with my new baby. I was going through a break in with her as well as the scope. the clicks from behind the gun vs just out of the box does make a difference. from the box they felt a little mushy, when its locked down to something. I would call it soft...

    reloader 25

    Guys, I've always used retumbo for my 300rum. Ran across some r25 last week and impulsed buy. I've never used this. Is this stuff real temp sensitive? What can i expect? I've been using 95g retumbo with a 208amax. Thanks

    I wouldn't believe what the planet tells you. I've been #5 in line for 3 months. I called Burris and found out they had shipped 10 scopes to them. 3 weeks later I was still #5 in line and didn't have a scope.
