We are currently using Leupold 6.5-20, Burris Signature 8-32, Nitrex 5-20 TR2s & 6-20 TR1s, and Burris 6-24 and maybe some I can't remember on our varmint rifles. Some are a bit more user friendly than others, but all work well for our application. I'm thinking these will go on the two 204s, freeing up a couple others for use on other caliber varmint rifles. 204 and 22-250 having essentially the same trajectory, my experience tells me that this reticle should work out well.

Have not mounted them yet, but the optics looks very good and the reticle impresses me as one that is going to be very user friendly for everyone, especially the kids.

We bought one, then immediately upon looking through it to determine if we were going to be happy with the optics and reticle purchased two more.

I cannot speak to the repeatability of the turrets at this time or the accuracy of the side focus. Given time we will mount them into our test fixture and run them through a thorough their paces. If my experience with Burris is anything to go on they should be at least sufficiently accurate for any work we will be using them for.

The FOV listed on the OP website in the specifications is obviously wrong, it is listed by Burris as 6-18 feet, not 6-8 feet. The number for the low end magnification didn't impress me as logical, so I checked with Burris prior to placing the first order.

What I am saying is this scope appears to be perfectly suited for our primary application (shooting rock chu

I bought these for stand hunting blacktail deer in heavy cover and looking for elk under low light conditions and for those purposes they absolutely have that need covered.

We own Nikon EDG, Swarovski, Zeiss Victory and Leica binoculars, the glass here as judged against some pretty stiff competition compares very favorably for all around use but given their size will more likely than not get only limited use for daytime observation of wildlife. The long and short of it is: For birdwatching and general wildlife viewing, unless strictly used from a blind or stand, you can do much better by selecting a nice full size 40 or 42 mm objective binocular and profit from having much more compact binocular.

When used under low light conditions they really come into their own. I don’t think that this binocular can be improved on for that purpose. We had a Docter Nobelim 8x56 B/GA that was stolen and this binocular impresses me as at least it’s equal. The Docter had center focus and this Shadowquest has individual eye piece focus. For me, the jury is out, as far as which I prefer. Mox nix is what I am inclined to give as my opinion right now. I may be in the minority on that opinion however, due to my many years of experience using Leupold Gold Ring 10x40 poros and a Leupold 9x25A pocket binocular. Both of those were individual focus and I became quite fond of them even though that feature made them less than ideal as far as their close focus distance.

The focus adjustment is q
