[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 42519, member: 3"] Ian Yes, it's a great hunting scope for "our" type of hunting. There's no need to remove a turret cap, there aren't any, and the 'clicks' are positive and few. I can look at the scope setting anytime I feel the need or when I'm feeling paranoid about my last 'return to zero' episode. On the M3LR the 'CAM' is a bit taller than the one on the Mark4 M3. The M3LR has two rings of numbers, the lower set being the MOA settings (same on all 'CAMs') and the upper set being the distance graduations (different on the various 'CAMs'). The M3LR is not limited to use on a rifle that happens to match the 'CAM' as there are the standard MOA marks to use. It's a very good scope for larger game and those 'big steel targets', as I always know where the scope is set with a glance at the dial 'CAM'. For anyone just getting into long range shooting or hunting it's a life saver as it takes a little of the worry and mystery out of adjusting the scope for every shot. It's not at all like those older BDC scopes. It looks and feels rugged and dependable, the 'CAM' is made of durable metal, like the rest of the scope. There's no need to worry about it breaking because of a little bump or clumsy stumble. I wouldn't use it on a rifle that I intend to shoot small varmints with, or to distances beyond 1000 yards on big game. There's a lot less elevation leeway on a deer (16") or elk (24"?) than there is on an 'E' silhouette (40"). [/QUOTE]
