I've put this scope on my .223 heavy barrelled varminter and it is just the 'bee's knees'. Ive owned several 1980s Zeiss scopes from Germany and they are the 'gold standard' for me to compare other scopes with and this is one of the few that can beat them. Others would be the Nightforce scopes at twice the price (and weight). The scope's graduations read 1milrad at 12x, so thats a plus for me as I can range at 12x and then use the BDC at 14.5x (set for my loads) or calculate clicks and wind it up to 20x and use the centre of the crosshairs. All in all a very good buy.
So good I bought 2; then another 3-9x40 Conquest for my daughter's rifle.
Pros: Clarity is second to none. Z Plex is easy to set up. Big turrets with clear clicks.
Cons: None
