Ex father in law had one on his custom 7mm STW . He thought it was great. I looked through it and it wasn't very clear to me. He shot at a rock with it about a 1/4 mile away and missed. I shot it with my 35 Whelen and busted the rock. I aimed about 4 feet over it and got lucky. My new name was smartass.

I had 2, sold them both after 1 season. The 300Win that I had 600-700 round through with nary a trouble, bit my eyebrow inside the 1st 30 shots. I finished out the deer season and dumped them both.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

They were one of the early innovators of the BDC reticle but are pretty well outdated now from what I've seen.
Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21.
Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

My brother bought a couple of them back in the day when they were new on the market. I think he still uses them on his Ruger77 Varmint rifles in 223, and 308.
I didn't/don't care for them myself.

I knew a few guys who had them back in the day. It seemed they were cutting edge at the time, and some really liked them. I knew one old guy in Oklahoma put one on a 375 H&H. He declared it the perfect deer rifle. LOL
