I’ve used this scope for several seasons in woodland hunting. The illuminated reticle is very reliable, especially during dawn and dusk. The image stays sharp even at 20x, and the light transmission is outstanding in foggy conditions. Easy to align in different stances thanks to the large eye box.
Ryan Walker –
Great clarity and brightness. The reticle stays crisp at all magnifications, which is crucial for long-range shots. The T* coating helps maintain color accuracy in overcast weather. Very satisfied with the performance in both day and twilight hunting.

Solid build and performance. The illumination is consistent and helps with aiming in low light. Slight learning curve with the reticle pattern, but once adjusted, it’s very accurate. Works well with my bolt-action rifle.
