    Dunno mate. Never actually shot it yet.

    Looks clear enough and has etched reticle.

    For $489 its hard to moan about quality really. The clicks are positive (but not like a Nightforce) has enough mag for the small critters, reticle is actually quite functional and uncluttered, both red and green illumination and the glass is ok really. In fact, I like it more than the Sightron S-Tac scope I had.
    The Sight picture suffers a bit with some clarity at high mag but all in all, so far it looks really good for the money.
    I'm a big fan of 50mm objectives so this gives me the field of view I want at the cheap price and, to be honest, it doesn't hurt to keep it if I have to go overseas quickly.

    I'll get a Nightforce or Bushnell DMR-ERS as the next "true long range" scope when I know I have time to reload and the funds to build or buy some kind of .260 but for now, this will do!

    I must add that I put the 4-16x50 on my son's .223 so it was less than $1k for two scopes. The 4-16x50 offers better edge to edge clarity and is perfect for the intended use of smashing gongs out to 300yds and small critters.
