Has anyone used one of these as a hunting scope?
How easily do the turrets turn?

My main concern is how easily the turrets will turn not glass quality

Pretty sure Travis is running the older Mark AR's with covered turrets. The Mod 1's look a lot like CDS.

Mod1 turrets turn pretty easily, and there is no designation for turret revolutions. I've avoided them for those two reasons. I much prefer the older Mark II and Mark AR series with the covered 1/2 MOA turrets, they are my favorite standard hunting scope.

I had the older MK AR's but I now prefer the Mod 1. MOA turrets are soooo 2013.

Funny that the OP asks this question. My son and I got rained out of our prairie dog murders a little early today, so I was able to make the range.

I have read a lot about the Mod 1's and CDS turrets turning easily, but I have not found that is a real problem for the 'flaves. I freely admit that I probably baby my rifles more than most. Here's a photo of some 'Flave Precision rifles riding in the back seat (rare by the way) when I pulled up to the range.

Turrets were still zeroed after the 70 mile'ish drive to the range. Then I did a little recording of the Mod 1 in action. I'm on a video kick right now. Not sure why.

Six beers? It's a SUNDAY you morons. Not a MONDAY. Besides, it's Easter.

I filmed the MK AR walking back from what I think most would consider reasonable hunting ranges. But the "Look how good I miss" brigade showed up. Gotta keep the ears peeled...
