Side focus yardage spacing too close; mushy turret clicks; worth the price. - Primary Arms Classic Series 4-16 x 44mm Rifle Scope

The side focus yardage spacing beyond 50 yards makes it hard to focus the image at 100 yards and beyond. I tested the scope at 100 yards at an indoor range in Conroe, Texas and the image was out of focus just a hair above or below the 100 yard mark on the scope. Very finicky. Once the the correct parallax was obtained near the 100 yard mark, the image was clear and I was able to shoot 0.895" to 1.125" groups with .308Win 155gr HPBT remanufactured Freedommunition ammo using a Caldwell 9"-12" bipod on a [Remington 700, 1:12 twist 26" barrel].The glass is surprisingly very clear in natural lighting. In indoor lighting the glass is only decent once the correct parallax is set. The red illuminated was needed in the indoor range with this scope but I had no issue with the non-Illuminated Bushnell AR-Optic 4.5-18x40mm at the same distance (100 yards). In natural lighting they seem to be of the same quality of glass and clarity.

I purchased the sunshade designed for this scope and it is a perfect match. Unbeknownst to me, the scope came with flip caps that work well. I purchased Butler Creek flip caps to go on the scope when I ordered my two scopes. Double-sided tape should be placed on the eye piece before installing either primary arms' or butler creeks' eye piece caps.

The turrets are very mushy. Not tactile nor audible.
