I've owned several FDNs. They do their job. I got grease in a reticle on one of them after four years of PRS use. I sent it in for warranty and had it back in a week. Optically, I see more detail with the FDN than I do with my ATACR. Used and cert prices on the USO put it in a very good price to...

What bullets/cartridges you both firing? Yours seems to stay flatter by a long shot, but that'd a dumb point to make if you're shooting .223 and he's shooting a Creedmoor or something.
