[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 42838, member: 25"] I have had the opportuntity to test six of these scopes now and they continue to perform well. In addition I have checked out another six so have been able to look through a good sample. A local dealer has been selling them like hotcakes and several guys that I shoot with have bought them. I have two myself. As Jerry mentioned, some of the scopes move slightly more than 1 moa when four clicks are applied, but the distance is constant. If you count clicks or record the particular come-up for a given distance that is OK, but it does screw up using established drop charts supplied by some ammo makers. In other words a 12 minute come-up for 500 yards with a .308 Win. might only by ll.0 or 11 1/4. I have also seen one scope that did not have the full amount of adjustment that the others average, I would have sent it back or got it exchanged. Several guys that I know have put these scopes on a variety of varmint and LR rifles and they are all completely happy. A while back 700 asked the following questions: a. What is the parralax free range - I still don't know, we have shot out to 1000 without experiencing significant parallax problems. This also answers the question about 50 to 200 as we initially sight-in at 25 and can see the paper OK. c. Max range - we are getting about 55 minutes of elevation left after the scope is zeroed at 100 yards. That would make for a hell of a long distance with any LR caliber. d. Screwing the eyepiece - the eyepiece does not unscrew (there is no lock-ring as in most scopes) but there is a European style eyepiece focusing ring that will sharpen the image at various distance. Seems to sharpen the crosshair also but this is not working like a true parallax adjustment. This is a good entry-level scope for LR. It provides an excellent turret and Mil-dots. Will it hold up to a lot of use and abuse - only time will tell. It comes with a lifetime warrantee so that should be a comfort. Sells for $189 U.S. (SWFA) or $289-$350 Canadian. [/QUOTE]
