It's so crappy Trijicon is using their technology on license
The OP is looking for an affordable choice. I never said it's a Swarovsky. Let him decide, I don't have a dog in the fight. Add to the conversation with facts.
I like mine and am shooting to 600 yds. Good enough for me.
Pic is 10" plate at 400 yds by a complete novice with a .224 Valkyrie.
If you take a Walmart bushnell banner 3-9 and zero it and hold over about 20” you’ll have the same affect.
What’s ur point?
scopes are aiming devices.
Erector assemblies needs to be bomber and the reticle needs to be aeasuring tape in the x and y coordinates and the whole package needs to be able to withstand abuse that it will see in the field.
OP check out the Meopta MeoPro with their factory “target turrets” option. Simple plex reticle and just dial MOA for elevation and wind. You can zero your rig then unscrew the caps and reset them to zero. If you want more turns out of it Kenton makes fantastic aftermarket replacement turrets for this exact scope. They also have a zero stop option which the factory turrets don’t have. Here’s an open box deal on one of these scopes from Cameraland (a Rokslide sponsor).
I’ve verified the tracking on 3 MeoPro scopes now and the results have been shockingly positive. Zeiss and Meopta continue to lead the way in accurate MOA click verification in my tests so far. I’ve posted my tracking method on this site before, it’s quite involved, but is a true verifiable testing of tracking unlike a lot of what you see online.
