Just wanted to thank everyone for all the help on this sight, every scope was purchased from the advice I received on this site and many from SWFA, special thanks to Koshkin, Rifledude and Tahque. I have been very pleased with them all. I always promised to post photo’s but never did so here they are a partial list.

Left to right.

Marlin 22 mag Minox, Browning 325wsm Zeiss Diavari FL Illuminated 2.5x10x50, Browning 243 Trijicon 3x9x40, Kimber Montana 270wsm Zeiss conquest 3.5x10x44, Kimber 308 Leica 4.5x14x42, M & P AK 223 Zeiss Conquest 4.5x14x50.

Looks like a nice rifle collection, and some great scope. 

Just a suggestion, as it seems a lot of people do this with ARs.  Move your mount forward a bit.  If you look at your AR compared to your other rifles, look how much farther back the scope is.  It will be a lot easier to get into and more comfortable if you move it forward a bit. 

Optically the edge of the eye piece closest to you, should be right over the charging handle.  That would put it right inline with your other scopes.
Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

Stephanie,

I am not comfortable with mil dots or hashes, I have Astigmatism and am left eye dominate and shoot right handed. All my scopes are #4 or German 1 or plain cross hairs. I have tried them. I shoot a lot just for practice. I am a hunter.

I use this one, it's much more comfortable for me.
