[QUOTE="MTbackwoods, post: 1940528, member: 113441"] Very happy with the scope thus far. 25x is a little hazy when looking at small targets but I have no doubt that on deer sized game it would be no issue. The scope tracked pretty good. The attached picture is a side by side comparison of the Strike Eagle on my 7mm and Nightforce SHV on my 338. Both tests performed at same time, side by side. SHV is on the left and Vortex on the right. Vortex dialed 32 inches and the SHV 31.5. I dialed 30 moa at exactly 100 yards on both. It’s close enough for me. Glass clarity on an 8 inch plate at 692 yards was very comparable between the two scopes, with the SHV on 14x and the Vortex on 20x. Ballistic program gave me 13 moa come-up and it resulted in 2 consecutive hits. And I love the reticle. Love it. Turrets click much better and the mushy feeling is pretty well gone. One complaint is that the hash marks don’t quite line up after dial up. It’s perfect on zero but even at 13 moa, it’s a hair over the hash mark. Low light test went very well. I waited until 20 minutes after sunset and stayed til 40 minutes past, 10 minutes past “legal” light. I would be confident in a 600+ yard shot on game still. The illuminated reticle is my first and I kinda like it. Setting 10 was way too much but 3 was perfect for me. Overall I’m happy. Little complaints here and there but it’ll work for me. If you’re used to budget optics, you’ll probably love it. If you’re a snob, you may not [/QUOTE]
