I received it today I am very impressed with it so far,optics are awesome on it.It bar far beats my previous Nikons and My VXIII  and id say equal to my black diamond.
It feels really sturdy and well built. Ive got to take it out later as light fades and see how it does.So far reticle looks really good ,But need to make sure it will show up in less light.
But i'm really pleased with it so far Big Smile

That is always a good start!
Freedom is something you take.
Respect is something you earn.
Equality is something you whine about not being given.

Congrats on the new hardware.  Yes, pictures are wanted, both of the scope and rifle and of those targets with nice little patterns.

Good luck with the new scope,you were getting so nervous when everyone was getting on board with the reliability issue.
