Would you buy this scope?

[prm]

For those that have tested the scope…..
Could you comment on how the controls feel & function. Ocular/lock, power ring, windage, parallax, elevation, zero lock, etc.

In your overall assessment is there need for improvement that you recommend prior to production.

Thx.

Thx. @prm I missed that post. Appreciate it.

No sir. Dial elevation, hold wind. IF you need rapid elevation change, then use reticle. For instance, I used the new scopes on three deer, at three different distances- dialed to the center, knew the closest if the deer ran towards me was almost exactly a mil short, and the farther one was almost exactly a mil long- the spots were about 100 yards apart. Shot the center one, then held 1 mil high in the farther, then they ran towards me and held .8 mil low. Three deer, in about 11 seconds. Exactly what the reticle was made for.
Also have used it for follow up shots- animal is hit, runs closer or father away- hold in the reticle.

Sounds like my deer hunt in December, 3 down in less than 10 second from a treestand. The 6 Creed with 108s and knowing the holdovers made it fast.

Not to be negative on this, especially if it's just one option - but that is an absolutely horrible color that I do not want emblazoned as a billboard of on the side of my scopes. Respectfully - it's the opposite of sexy, guys.

Smaller, and a subdued gray, is good and fine.

It is really easy to get some hobby paint and fill in the engraving any color you would want.

This thread reminds me of an old saying by my dad. Folks would bitch if they were hung with a new rope.......

I could care less about the logo, it will be covered by scope caps/tape. As long as it works I'm happy.

I have an eyepiece question:

The specs indicate a locking eyepiece. Is it, once unlocked, still relatively coarse (ie fast focus) adjustment?)

Asking because stuff I've had in the past was either a) locking, with very fine adjustment, or b) no-lock fast-focus. Just curious if this is the former or the latter, or a combination of fast and locking? Not getting into what's better or why, just asking which it is.

^^Still curious. Not complaining either way, just curious.

It is a fast focus diopter, with a lock ring.

Thank you. Perfect!

Any further testing or evals going on? Also any update on the plans for preorders?

They were being shot consistently until a couple days ago. Two were pulled off for Ryan and Jake to take to the expo. The other is still being shot. Working perfectly.

This place is infested with nervous Nellies. Go outside and shoot something.

I would but I’m waiting on a scope & suppressor.
