Great for the 6mm bad for the ground squirrels! - Vortex Diamondback HP 3-12x42mm Rifle Scope

This is exactly what I was looking for knowing its limitations. Beautiful image in all of the best light levels though VERY finicky about eye your relief and position. Nice crisp reticle, I would love more hash marks for windage rather than its current 8 MOA, at the least 12 MOA and one more ballistic drop point would be nice. This is a slow scope but perfect for the times when you can adjust and dial in your yardage/parallax and zoom level on target. When operated correctly it is dead on, adjustments to the reticle are precise, crisp and repeatable with the ability to reset your 0 after sighting in, protected with very nice dust caps to preserve the smoothness of the dials and your settings. Fit and finish is very nice unless you look really close and as others have said the anodizing can scratch fairly easily. OpticsPlanet.com's sale price was impossible to pass up! Check the rear objective size for your guns clearance issues, a little bit bigger than others with a little screw sticking out at 6 o'clock that can rub a bolt handle if fit close! Happy shooting!
