I'm in the military, and have a family as well as a passion for long range shooting. Had to sell my .338 Lapua topped w/a NF 8.5-32 a while back after our second child. After some research, I pulled the trigger on this to go on my M700 .243 and I can tell you, it's a very very good buy! The edges of the glass are a bit fishbowly, but I've never aimed with the edge of the glass. The usable part of the reticle is crystal clear and adjustments are right on time. I put 10 rounds onto a postage stamp at 200 yards and could see the shot holes with ease. Love the locking turrets and there is plenty of elevation (with 0 MOA base) to get me out to 1000 yards.
So, if you're a good blue-collar American, this is an awesome scope to get while you're saving up for that dream scope. It will be nice to keep as an extra down road too.
It is stamped P.R.C. (People's Republic of China) but hey, it works and the warranty is exceptional.
Pros: All the bells and whistles, tough as nails.
Cons: It's not a $1000+ quality scope, and made in PRC :(
