Yep, mediums. Could have gone lower, but the ocular is just right for my cheek weld.

I am a little late to the party, great write up. Just one question though, without some form of parallax adjustment, will that make it difficult when going further out? If this is the case would the Conquest with AO be a better option? Sorry I'm new to this and was just curious.

Better to be trialled by 12, than carried by 6

Parallax error is minimized at enxtended ranges with the 200m factory parallax setting. I have calculated maximum parallax error with this scope, and all the way out to 800 yards, it is acceptable. I have made good hits on 12'X12' rocks at that range.
In a hunting scope, not worrying about parallax in the field is a benefit, in my opinion. AO would be nice during load development. I have to maintain good head position when doing load development, but it has not been a real problem.
As you probably know, if you keep your head centered behind the reticle, there is no parallax error anyway.
This is a great practical hunting scope. Target shooters will want AO.
If you want AO, check out the 3.5-18 z5 w/ BRH reticle.
I have made some biggame kills nearing 400 yards with the scope, and like it a lot.
