Home run vortex - Vortex Diamondback Tactical FFP 4-16x44mm 30mm Tube First Focal Plane Rifle Scope

I recently purchased this scope to mount on a Ruger American Ranch in 5.56. I was looking for a front focal plane scope that wouldn't break the bank. Usually I believe you get what you pay for in optics. I had bought a primary arms 4-14x44 after seeing all the great reviews. I sold it pretty quickly, never even mounted it. The turrets were mushy and didn't line up with the indicator when dialed. I also looked the the new Bushnell Nitro line, but their turrets can't be slipped back to zero... Kind of a deal breaker for me. Not the case with this scope !! Glass is clear. Turrets are tactile and crisp. Resettable to zero. The EBR2C reticle is very well thought out, and great for elevation and wind hold overs. I mounted it with a pair of swfa low 30mm rings. After zeroing I have 14.5 mils left of adjustment which is plenty for the caliber. I have not yet checked the tracking of the scope which is 1 reason why this isn't getting 5 stars. 2nd is there is no revolution indicator on the turret, so when shooting you have to keep in mind exactly how much elevation you have dialed, to be able to return to zero. I have also noticed the parallax is a bit finiky, you have to really tune it from target to target to get a crisp image more so than on other optics I own. But for the price Vortex has knocked it out of the park!!! Thinking of also purchasing their 6-24x50. Again great little scope amazing value for the price!
