Maybe I'm beating a dead horse, but I thought some of you might be interested to know how the new scope worked. I took it out on a Remington 700sps in a Mcree stock, medium xtr rings on a 20moa rail and tried it out from 100-1000yds. I could have gone with low xtr rings, but no one I spoke with would commit to that hight without the scope in hand. Oh yeah, FYI- I was on 3 waiting lists for about 5 months before I was able to get one. I completed my build just prior to a BHTC course so I didn't have time to play around much prior to leaving.
Fit/Finish- The best I've ever come into contact with. The adjustment clicks are sharp, the resets are consistant. Everyone else whom got behind it said they wanted one, alot had one on order.
Zoom and clarity- I've never gone from 6-24 so it was new to me, I kept things dialed to about 18x at distance. I could see the holes easily to 300 and knew where I was out at 750. I had a chance to shoot by laser designator at night and it was just like a video game with the illuminated recticle over the green halo. Having 10 brightness levels helped a lot as you want to have it just visible over the green, not distractingly bright. I picked up the ARD and found that I was getting a double image at distance. Once I pulled it out, crystal clear.
The FFP recticle made it really nice for a newbie to size up targets at various distances. Highly recommended. MOA/MOA was very nice and easy to use.
Elevation- Well, I found out that I needed hotter loads to get to 1000yds and could't dial in enough elevation (with the 20moa base!) I counted out about 53MOA verticle(if I recal correctly). I could have held over more to make the hits, but the rounds went inconsistant and made that impossible.
A great scope at a good price. Hope this helps.
