I have one on my Weatherby SBGM in .300 Win Mag.

Works as advertised and seems to hold zero so far.  Clarity seeems fairly good.

My. 300 kicks like a mule b/c it's so light and of course the best grouping rounds are the hornady mag - I tried about 10 different loads too.  Anyway, the zero does hold well, BUT the eye relief is not as much as I would like at high power and once or twice a year, I get hit with the proverbial half moon.

Never fogs or any problem.

The ranging reticles are pretty cool and pretty well close enough to hit most tgts out to 600 on deer and maybe 700 on elk.  Would go farther out on vertical tgts like humans, but obviously that is not needed for a hunting rifle.

I prefer to use my trusty laser to estimate distance and then use the reticle for holdover just like I do with my mildot scopes.  have 4 leupolds all with mildots.

Anyway, It works.
