[QUOTE="anethema, post: 1883926, member: 107059"] Ya in playing with mine, the mechanics are all very impressive coming from my Viper HS. The main downside is that windage turret. The G4 reticle is very clear and nice, really draws my eye to the dot. But it makes holding wind hard, and the windage turret is pretty mushy. I'm not sure you'd feel clicks at all with gloves on. Glass is beautiful compared to my viper though. Very clear. The eyebox is MUCH more forgiving than my viper at max zoom. Much more overall clarity and less aberrations. It just feels so clean it is a definite pleasure to look through. The parralax knob markings are pretty close to actual ranges to my eye. Illuminated dot is flawless. The UI is ok, I haven't had much chance to use it for real. You just keep pressing the button and it cycles from low to high and back again. The auto shutoff is nice, but if you needed to swap the illumination fast it might take a bit longer than a dial. The top turret is maybe the nicest I've ever felt. Better than my old viper for sure, better than my dad's Zeiss, and better than my boss's Atlas. I haven't ever had the chance to play with anything really high end, but this thing feels really nice. I've only boresight it so far, but with that ballpark, I installed the 0 stop just to test it. It stops you dead solid exactly 0.5 mil below 0. Might need to check my setup, but after boresighting I only have about 7.5 mils of elevation adjustment which only gets me to about 1000 yards or a bit more. So an elevated rail wouldn't be bad for the real long distance hunters. I don't ever shoot that far. The little range on my land only goes to about 650-700 yards so that is about my max. Vice'd the gun and brought the turret all the way up and down a few times, and the crosshair returned to the exact same spot, so bodes well for tracking. Again, no shooting yet, but so far so good. Overall looks and feels great. Can't wait to try it out. Need the mud to calm down first or I'll just get the quad stuck going to the target. [/QUOTE]
