Euro Optics are closing these out at 599 so I decided to jump. I was waiting to buy the 2.5-15 as it ticked every box for me. This one does as well although I didn't really want a 50mm obj for mounting height purposes. But for the difference in price, I'll make it work. Same reticle, same illum, SFP, MRAD.
It weighs 25.4 oz, so it's a lightweight 14.5" long with the diopter out a ways for my crappy vision.
Has full illumination across the reticle.
10 step power to reticle with off in-between every step.
The reticle has a center dot which I like. Check the Trijicon site for reticle subtension.
Has a capped windage that resets.
Has zero stop which is super easy. Loosen 3 small cap screws, drop the ring down, spin until it stops against the adjustment ring, lock it down. Takes about 15 seconds.
Turrets have good detents although I'd prefer a bit "snappier" on the elevation.
Mag ring comes with a small knob to assist with movement.
I am waiting for rings and time to get it dialed in. It is going on a T3 with Warne direct mounts. I am ditching the MT rail as I don't need 20 moa extra elevation.
*Tracking*
Unfortunately I didn't get pics, my mistake. I made a tracking target from a large piece of cardboard. A 1" dot on the bottom, a straight line 36" long with another 1" dot. I leveled the line and shot prone from 100yds.
After sight in I fired 10 shots at the bottom spot on the tracking target. The group was right at 1.5". I set the zero stop then spun the elevation turret until it stopped. I did this 6 or 8 times, dialed 10 mils and fired 3 rounds. Spun the turret the same way again and fired another 3. The scope tracked true with the last group a bit over an inch.
That was all the shooting I did for the day (28 rounds). One thing I discovered; after not shooting this gun for maybe two years, the recoil was getting to me (7RM). I don't recall it being so harsh, or maybe I'm just turning into a wuss lol. Same load, heavier scope, just no fun.
And no, I didn't perform a Form drop test. I'll go with his test of the Tenmile as good enough for me.
The only thing I don't like is the higher mounting which required me to install a moveable cheek piece. It's fine but I would have preferred something 42-44.
Really wish I had gotten pics but it is what it is.
Update pic; Warne direct mount mediums, .045 clearance.
