The scope, which I purchased from The Optic Zone, arrived today on-time with the tracking information. I'll break up my initial likes and dislikes in a bullet format.
Likes
- Solid looking construction
- Even matte finish
- Rubber ring on eyepiece to protect yourself
- Large, easy to operate power adjustment ring
- Say's assembled in USA (at least we're seeing part of the $)
- Initial check of the eye relief shows about 4" (as advertised) all the way through the 3-9 power adjustment
- Reticle stays the same size throughout power adjustment
- Reset to zero windage and elevation turret dials
Dislikes
- Plastic turret covers
- Plastic turret adjustment dials
I haven't had a great opportunity to look through the scope all that much. However, it does seem bright and clear all the way to the edges. It will be a little longer before I can put it on my rifle and give it a real test.
Overall, looks like a fine scope. I just wish that they would have put some quality looking turret dials on the scope, along with some aluminum turret covers. I do like the way you can re-zero the dials without removing any screws or parts. It would have been nice if they were metal though (kinda like my Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9X40). But, considering that the scope has Zeiss glass in it I'm sure they had to do some cutting in spots to meet the price piont.
