[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2045743, member: 87243"] My cousin ran one, the 3-15, on a .270 Sherman for a while, just the firedot reticle however, and dialed. I did load development on the rifle, as well as some trajectory validation. Glass seemed great, (My range of comparison includes Vortex Viper PA, HST, PST, Razor spotting scope, Burris Veracity, Arken EP-4, Sightron STAC and SIII, Leupold VX-6HD, Nightforce SHV, NXS, Maven RS.4, and March 2.5-25, probably several others) he took a couple animals in low light and no issues, including a Mule deer at 630 and a cow elk at 910 yards, both within about 10 minutes of end of shoot light. However he did trade it out for an optic with more magnification after taking the cow at 910, it wasn't the clarity he said, it was partially the reticle thickness at that range on 15x, and he wanted to be able to just see more detail at the extended ranges we often take animals at. However, for 500 with a holdover reticle, it would be a fantastic light weight option IMO. Never had any issues with the optic loosing zero after being bumped around in a pack going several miles into the back country, or bouncing around in his truck. He isn't exactly easy on equipment ha ha, but it didn't have any issues. He did only have it for a little over a year, so I can't speak for long term ruggedness. [/QUOTE]
