[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1255822, member: 50867"] Buyers Remorse is fairly common. I'd suggest you rely on the performance of your scope rather than Internet gossip. You can test the glass fairly easily by simply looking through the scope at various power levels (with correct parallax adjustments) as you move the cross hairs from one exrtreme to the other and look for distortion. I'm sure you will find some distortion at the outer limits but you're not going to use the outer 25% anyway so I wouldn't worry about that. Just keep in mind that when you choose a $299 scope you don't get $599 quality. Here's a series of tests you can perform yourself. It take a bit of work to set up the jigs but in the end you'll be better informed than those who posted their experiences on some forum: [B][U][U][U][URL="http://www.sniperforums.com/forum/optics/49169-scope-testing-mounting-precision-shooting.html"]Scope testing and mounting for precision shooting.[/URL][/U][/U][/U] [/B] [/QUOTE]
