[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1746572, member: 101755"] Well obviously I have not had a lot of time it it yet. But I will say so far it has been great. The instruction manual is a bit challenging, but I found a good tutorial on you tube done by Fox Optics. The scope is not hard to operate, the instructions are writen like you already know most of the information. Sight in was a almost too easy. I shot it 50 first, then moved out to 100 yards. Each step up in yardage only took one adjustment to get it in the bull. First actual hunt was just looking at the feeder in the predawn darkness. I was totally washed out by the IR...didn't waste much time thinking about at the time because sun rise was only a few minutes away. But that afternoon it hit me. The beam is adjustable? Yep it is and I had it wide open, so it was bouncing off everything. Which is why it"white out" the screen. One thing to remember if you forget a step, what ever your trying will not work. So keep the book handy. After a you tube or two the instruction manual is alot easier so finding the missing step is much easier. The higher magnifications are too grainy for me. It really no different than normal scopes. Normally need perfect conditions for it to work at max magnification. But 10x is very serviceable in a hunting situation. I also took it out to 400yds and thumped the steel a couple times. Which is pretty cool for a 7.62x39 AR. Good looking rig Hatrick! Yes I ordered it last week before I headed up to our hunting lease. I put two SOS Hunters on lay-a-way. Paid the second one off last week too. Big pain to have to move the can between two rifles while in the stand. My dealer said they are getting the applications done in three months now, so I jumped in on my second one. [/QUOTE]
