[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 16395, member: 1403"] I will tell you all I know from them as I have a hunting buddy who has one on his 7 Rem Mag. As far as we can tell, it doesn't seem to be as clear as even a Leupold VX 2. The advantages are that you dont need to carry a rangefinder like you would with target knobs. You dont have to have a ballistic chart taped to the side, you just simply bracket the animal. Which brings me to the next thing. The scope is already set up for what IT WANTS TO SHOOT. My friend has to use a Sierra bullet with a lower BC and lower velocity because with a high BC bullet, he was shooting about a foot over everything. This doesn't interest me at all, I want my gun to shoot what I want to put through it and at whatever top velocity that may be. After its all said and done though, he is consistantly hitting deer and coyotes at 700 yards and killing them. He shot a bull last year and hit it 3 of 4 times at 700 yards. The biggest thing is you have to experiment a lot with loading and different bullets and then shooting them at every range to know exactly where they hit. That will tell you if you need to use a different bullet or different velocity. [/QUOTE]
