Thanks Eaglet. I had read whats been posted so far but unable to find any info from someone actually using one and how they are holding up to heavy recoil and such. I agree that they should be better than the 32 and 4200 but .

Are the reticles the same as on the 3200's?

Looking toward the Sun at dawn and dusk the 3200 reticle "flares" a bronze color and obstructs the view badly, IMO.

I want the 4.5-30x 6500, but the reticle has me up in the air. For $667. it is very tempting

I like my 4.5-30 MD. I've shot it on all my rifles from 220 Swift to my 338 RUM. Crisp repeatable clicks. Good scope for the money.

how many rounds on top of the 338 geargrinder?

Round numbers:

200 with the Swift

120 with the 300 win

80 with the 338 RUM

It will also get some time over a 7mmRUM as soon as my reamer and dies show up.
