Received one several weeks ago. Used it today on a rimfire rifle. Shot out to 200 meters. I have a 25MOA base on the gun so it was easy to dial out to that distance. I really like the glass, turrets and reticle. I was dialing everything today so I did not use the windage marks. Next time for that. The illumination is daylight visible in good strong sunlight. The center dot is way too large for what I am using the scope for but on a centerfire hunting rifle it would be fine. This scope may get moved to a .223 precision rig when my USO TR-12 arrives with the small floating dot. Just depends. At any rate, I like it. Locking turrets. Athlon z stop. Nice glass and reticle and it tracked like a Porsche. 👍🏿

I have an ares Btr 2.5-15, just looking for comparison to this for reference. Looking to put this on a 6.5 grendel AR and possibly a 308 AR platform as well.
