I had 2 of the older fixed models. 10X and 16X. As I have told several here before, I could not get over how unbelievably $hitty the turrets were. Both scopes had 1 audible and 1 inaudible turret. All the turrets were mushy as he11.

As I have also stated, tracking was not an issue. But mushy turrets, coupled with just so-so glass, acceptable at best but not great eye relief(for prone I need a lot), and finicky parallax adjustment caused me to sell the scopes.

I am now interested in trying another, given all the hype. I figure they simply have to have improved since I owned mine years ago, given what I've read here.

I will say that for a cheaper LR scope, they tracked as well as anything. Better than the Vortexes I tried and sold. The fixed power Weavers with micro-trac are also excellent for their price.....



Fixed power Weavers with micro-trac????

I was not aware that the fixed power Weavers had micro-trac. Perhaps I am misinformed? Got a link to one?
