[QUOTE="WildBillG, post: 1792037, member: 106952"] i my Covanent out this afternoon to see how it dialed. Now I only got to 550yds but it seemed pretty preceise. Using my 270 WSM shooting the Hornady 145 ELDX at 3145fps. The rifle was a 1/2 inch high at 100yds so I was hitting a little high on my shots. At 550 BC calculator said I needed 2.38 Mils up and my first shot hit the 10inch gong but at the top as I said high. I dialed from zeroed 100 and started at 250. Then I moved to 400 and finally to 550 never got a chance to go back down as I ran out of light. Another thingI noticed is that the dot in the reticle is very fine and should be illuminated for low light. The scope did seem plenty clear today but I only got to 16 power not 25. So far for the price this is proving to be a decent scope to start out with longer range shooting. As I said at the start it was only 350 Canadian which from what I can figure would cost my nieghbors to the south around 160 or so. [/QUOTE]
