Re: 40MM tube!
Glass is one notch below schmidt, premier, hensolt, like all IOR, but is far, far, far better than nightforce. Far better.
You dont buy a nightforce for the glass, nor should you buy this for the glass, but it is many times above NF, so be confident you will be very, very happy.
Its a scope for a specific purpose. You wouldn't put BORS on a CQB rifle, just like you wouldn't use this for hunting or genuine 'tac' matches, necessarily.
Its an amazing scope. I was watching Gregs hits at 1500 yards, I could tell him the group size without using the reticle, it feels like your 10 feet away, I could clearly make out each individual hole in the dirt bank from 90g bergers at 1300. Thats clear glass.
Then I realised I was on 26 power. On 52 power you could probably see the sandflies on the steel at 1500, no joke.
