Not really.....where I hunt here in PA and WVA is pretty heavily wooded and very thick...some places can't see much further than 100 yds!!

Rifle was shooting high first 3 shots (pretty much 1 hole group)...made adjustment to lower impact point and shot another group...NADA!! Adjusted scope again, and shot another group...same impact point. Then I tried adjusting scope by several inches (lower), and shot another group...guess what...same impact point. I had one hell of a 9-shot group though!! Went home, installed a spare Nightforce I had....rifle now zeroed and shooting extremely well!! Got to call Swarovski on Monday.....totally disappointed in a $2000 scope...to say the least.
