Pros & Cons
Pros
The adjustment lever is big enough to move easily, but not obtrusive. Throw lever makes transitioning very smooth and easy.
I bet you can hunt on moonlight, turrets tracking is top notch. There are a few limitations you need to understand.
The reticle is bright and accurate. It can be used either with the illumination or without it. The vortex reticle design is slightly better than the bushnell.
X visibility is imo what sets it apart from its competition. The variable zoom makes it nice for targets al all ranges. The 1x is a true 1x which is important for an ar configuration.

If youre a veteran you actually get a discount from the original seller so id shop around as i could have saved a decent amount... Read More
Shipping
Contacted vortex customer service and they were excellent
Got it dialed in this summer and then finally rifle season has arrived
Seller took a while to ship though and did not offer an exchange
Packaging/appearance
1st thing is this item came in well packaged both from amazon and vortex
Competitiveness
I am extremely impressed and will likely be a repeat consumer of vortex optics in the future
I like this strike eagle much much better and it was less than 250
Bottom line you can get a better scope and you can get a cheaper scope but i do not believe you can get a better scope for less... Read More
Im not a scope snob34 but can tell you these two brands in particular brands deliver allot in this price range
