I was impressed with it out of the box. It is a nice optic. This went on a 308 M700 with a bull barrel and Leopold low rings. EXCELLENT investment. It came with two seperate sets of knobs one for "tactical" use and one set that hides under caps that are there to keep the turrets clean. I love that it has caps. It will make it easy to paint for real tactical use.

Super eye relief, very bright, reticle is sharp and BDC is very useable, side focus is a really nice touch. Turrets are a little tall for field use, but can easily be replaced with the shorter tactical turrets. Five Stars.

I can't complain about this scope in the least. Bought it to go on a new Rem 700 in .308 and its been great. Great eye relief, great clear glass, and great finish.

Very hard to acquire target due to short eye relief and small exit pupil. Did not hold zero on HW80, Does not focus below 50 yards (standard option) , Nikon says Monarch series addresses all these issues

Pros:  Nice glass, clean, crisp images
Cons:  BDC circles are to big
Would recommend:  yes

Like the scope, but hard to be accurate at longer ranges with the BDC circles. Prairie Dogs at 300 plus fit inside the circle. Like the scope just wish they would make the BDC circles into dots or hashes.

Author: HitMinh (verified customer) from Hurst, TX on Jan 17, 2013
Pros:  extra oversized target turrets, sunshade included, and very clear glass
Cons:  Sunshade is a tiny bit smaller than scope bell so it looks a little weird
Would recommend:  yes

Very good value scope! This scope came with additional oversized target turrets and a sunshade! However, because the end of the scope is curved inward, the sunshade is a little smaller in circumference than the end of the scope. They do not thread together like it's one piece. Just a small cosmetic blip. Other than that, it's a great scope for the price. And the glass is very clear. I have not zeroed it on my rifle yet b/c it's still being built, but from the other reviews, I'm sure it'll be just fine. Thanks optics planet for the great prices!

Would recommend:  yes

Great scope. I mounted it on my Rock River Coyote Rifle and I am not looking back. I did some heavy looking and between this scope and the M223. The M223 was a bit out of my price range for a college student so i settled with this one. I have it zeroed on my AR and with no complaints. I will be looking at this same scope again when the old Bushnell on my 243 wears out.
