    Good Morning.

    I have this scope and it was on my Mk12 for a long while until I got my first .308 rifle a FN FNAR. It has capped turrets and it is real clear glass. I use Bushnell telescopes doing my astronomy thing and I bought the scope because of well my other hobby and I had a gift card (I know right) so the question comes down should I get rid of the scope or keep it and learn the trade better. Most ranges I have access too are 300 yards with a range that can is 1000 yards. Most shots by me will come to about 500 yards for now.

    Pros to me:
    Clear Glass
    Easy DOA reticle
    capped turrets for field use.
    Cold Hammer Forged Tube
    Seems to be real tuff

    Cons
    SFP
    DOA Reticle
    Does not have Mil Dot
    I think it is in MOA and not Mil. Still learning that.
    Capped Turrets verse target turrets
    Not a Nightforce, USO, or S&B
