Good morning Everyone,
Curious if anyone has any experience with the Whiskey 3? I picked up two of them for a steal in 4-12x40 with their BDC reticle for like $120 kindof on a whim. I worked at sportsman's previously and played with them some and they seemed to be solid for the money, especially the sale price I paid. I went ahead and mounted one on my wife's 243, and the other one I'm debating on putting on my howa 1500 7 mag that's supposed to be my christmas present. I had originally purchased the second one to have as an extra backup scope as cheap insurance, but I figured it could suffice on the big 7 until I get some cash saved up for something better.
Question is... has anyone had any experience with these scopes? Are they as solid as they feel? Do they stay zeroed in when you put them there? How's tracking (not for dialing, but for initial site in)? Will they hold up to the recoil on a magnum? It'll be mounted in some Warne Maxima rings on a warne 20 MOA base. Yes I know the 20 MOA base is a waste on a scope that I won't be dialing, but I wanted to do it up front so that it's ready when I get a better scope. Thanks everyone!
