Osprey global 5-30x56 mil dot reticle - Osprey Global 5-30x56mm 30mm Tube Tactical Rifle Scope

OK, So with more than a little trepidation I thought I would try this one out. I have NEVER before paid more for the optic than the rifle...……...so... had to try it. btw I am a preferred Leupold guy. so it takes a lot for me to trust a new brand

Just to make the initial testing more interesting...……. The scope went right on the rifle, within an hour of rifle purchase, a TC Compass, no muzzle brake, 300 Win Mag. total weight with scope, just a little under 9lb 8oz with steel rings. no barrel pre treat, no pre cleaning, Yeah it has a bit of recoil. 2 boxes of 180 remmingtons and 2 boxes win brass with 190 Accubonds. Removed the bolt, visually down the bore sighted at 50 yards, moved reticle, sighted in for 300 yds, 8 rds, ready to test the remaining 3 -1/2 + boxes. at least 2 minutes between shots. Shooting spread out over 2 days.

Scope held up much better than I did. Vertical line at 200 yards was only 1.5" wide, vertical line at 400 yards only 3.25 wide.

I found that I could handle the recoil at 15x, at 30 X standard Eye relief of 3.5 inches was not quite enough. moved my head back about 2 inches until the scope visible field filled about 3/4 of the scope diameter, with the field centered on the reticle, and felt a little safer, with no change in observable point of impact at 400,

80 rounds with no muzzle brake, scope held true, largest 5 shot group of the day at 400 yards was 7.25, smallest was 5-1/2

Love the light weight,
love the brightness,
love the toughness so far,

Would like it a little shorter, with 3/4 inch more eye relief at 30X, however I think the new muzzle brake will take care of that when it arrives.

have to admit, having an under 10 lb rifle/scope combo that loooks like it is going to easily handle 600 to 1000 yd shots is a nice package

Recommend : YES
