bought this for 100-500 yd range-various calibers. haven't had time to do much longer range but it does a great job w/ .17's, .22's. .223's @ 100yds. Bringing out the big guns when I get a chance for a little more distance. Clean viewing and smooth operation on magnification wheel. Had the supplied tripod on the bench with little wind and it was ok but dug out and old Velbon Videomate 300 w/ a pn/tilt as I like to have a standing/sitting spotter w/ some electronic eye protection telling me the scorecard and any adjustments while the initial shots are placed. More fun w/ like minds around. Anyway, the price is right and I like the scope enough that I went to Home Depot and bought an alum tool case and now securely bedded in it's own foam bedding along w/ pos tripod and the 300. btw--ebay has a couple on site selling the pods for 15 bucks. It's the same model as the 600 series that they want $120 plus--just a different updated # and lock handle. Makes a nice package overall with the furnished pod and the standing/sitting pod. And no falling over due to the weight of the scope. Even better, pitch the furnished pod and make room in the case for the ear protection x 2 cause some ear bud dude will want to steal your elec muffs.
