[QUOTE="rdsii64, post: 350442, member: 13978"] I must agree with your every word. there is no way you can put glass with enough resolution to see detailed images at 1000 yards in a scope that cost 150 dollars and still make a money. The glass alone will cost more than 150 dollars, and you still have the rest of the scope materials to account for. I personally have attempted to use this model scope. ( not on my own gun) the turrets won't pass the box test. Now try to hit something 6/10 of a mile away with turrets that are not accurate. The turrets only have 30 minutes of elevation. You are going to burn up a good bit of that with your 100 yard zero. You will burn more if you zero your gun further out. Not much left to take you the magic 1K. Now factor in that most projecties fired from non-magnum guns generally need about 30 minutes of elevation to get to 1000 yards. Even with a Canted base you would be hard pressed to have enough elevation to make the trip. That scope may be worth the 150.00 asking price but its not up to the task of hitting a 18x36 steel plate at 1000 yards much less anything smaller. Now when you are talking about sniping whisle pigs at 300 yards and in, with rifle chambered in .204 ruger, this scope maybe a good buy if you leave the turrets alone and learn to hold off for wind. I'm not trying to put down someone elses optics choice but at the end of the day the proof is in the pudding. that BSA optic was never ment to be put on a rig that can deliver the goods at 1000 yards. That doesnt mean its a bad scope. Use it for what it was ment for and should serve you well. [/QUOTE]
