Does anyone have any long(ish) experience with this scope? I realize it’s fairly new. Curious on tracking mainly. I’m looking for a scope in this class/price to put on my B14R.
Thanks

I have been using a Strike Eagle 5 X 25 X 56 on my Bergara 14R. It tracks very well with audible clicks. It is also very clear at any power setting. I truly believe it is a great value for the price.
Same. It's been great. Only complaint is turret graduations don't line up 1/2 a rotation out from zero, but for the price it's amazing. Just ordered two more - one for my 6.5 HMR, and one for my brother's new CZ457.
Great buy for the money. Perfect for a 22. Will likely only ever see 300y max.
Put a giant *for the price* asterisk by all of this...
Glass is decent so far, but an overcast day doesnt really help show any major flaws.
Seems bright, didnt notice any real shittyness out toward the edges.
Definitely some CA (looks worse in pictures)
Eyebox is a little finicky but wont really be an issue once its mounted and the stock is setup.
*Edit* One thing I did notice that must have something to do with the eyebox on max power, the reticle once you have it focused has a “good” spot in the eyebox. Moving your head around can blur it pretty easily. Goes away on 18x and below.
Turrets are pretty mushy. From memory I’d say they feel about the same as the diamondback tactical line. But they do lock (which is probably good because they’re so soft and easy to turn)
I’d rather them invest that locking cost into making them more stiff.
Magnification ring is perfect and you get a free billet throw lever which makes it super easy.
Parallax ring is pretty stiff but thats not really a huge deal to me.
Nice toolless rezero turrets
Fit and finish on it is good. It doesnt feel like a cheap piece of junk (other than the turrets)
For the price, I’d definitely recommend it for a 22. If it was anything centerfire, I’d say for sure upgrade to the PST Gen 2.

Alright...officially looking for one. If anyone has an MRAD version they’d like to sell let me know.
@gconnoyer, my turrets are stiff and tactile - light-years beyond my Diamondback Tactical. I'll have to compare our to the two new ones (when they show up in 3 months 
)

Greg is a bit of a glass snob. But I agree with everything he says. And I have 4 of them. For the money can't beat them.
