[QUOTE="Ft. Churchill, post: 447557, member: 28933"] My 6x24 x40 illuminated mil dot scope by BSA I do not care for at all on my .223 savage. The field of view is to small to pick up moving coyotes quickly even at 6 power. The outer edge of the view is distorted as well. Above 18 power it is completely distorted so as to make it nearly impossible to use. At only one year old, I have already lost some of the intensity settings on the illuminated cross hairs, they do not work or flicker.(most of them do work fine though). This scope is accurate however and the crosshairs move exactly as the turrets indicate. I can move the point of impact and return to the original yardage setting without error and this has been a problem for me even with more expensive scopes. For what it is worth, my Dad is using a BSA platinum riflescope on his 7mm ultra mag with none of the problems that I have had. His is the 6x24-40 with the fine crosshairs and the target dot. It has none of the distortion that I have. The parralax has to be set just right though. Other wise the reticule can be jumpy and appear to shift from side to side. It's a nice scope for the money. Remember what Winston Churchill said "I am quite easily satisfied with the very best." Next time for my money I'll spring for leopold, nikon or burris or above these in quality. [/QUOTE]
