I had a chance to check one out at my local shop and I too was impessed with it, Had a chance to look through it outside the shop and looks like a great bargin for a scope! Very clear and the adjustment were tight. If I had the $$ I would pick up one. Vortex has some good glass for the money. Enjoy Dale, I am sure you will pop some groundhogs with it, matching it up with a good 22-250 and you are all set bud.

Thank you. I have had this scope for a little while now and even after cranking on the turets many many times it returns to zero every time. :o ;D ;D It is by far the best scope I have ever owned. I have taken 9 Groundhogs this season and 8 of them have been to this new set up. My furthest shot was about 275 yards. I am reloading for my 22-250 now and am having a bunch of fun shooting. Here are a few pictures of a few Groundhogs I have taken with the new set up. Take care Dale

It has a 1 in 14" twist. I have found that 55 grain bullets are the max with this rate of twist. I tried to push a 60 grain Hornady V-Max hard trying to get it to stablize and the groups were 6" to 8". Looks like I will not be shooting anything heavier than a 55 grain bullet out of it. Take care Dale
