I just picked up two, one with the target turrets (LRS 2.5-16x 42mm SFP ET2164) and one without (ELITE 6500 2.5-16x 42mm 652164MDB). They were on sale in Canada for $545 and $575 (30% off from retail). So far I like them, and the close focus parallex (10 yds) making it handy for air rifle (on my Weihrauch HW 97K) and rimfire rifles. With the 97K i shoot empty .22 casings at 10 metres with ease (off of a rest of course) I did a quick box test with my Anschutz .22 and it came back to zero. Not a light weight scope, but I'm liking the mildots. Using the Strelok Ballistic App I was able to make first shot hits on an 8 inch gong after zeroing at 100 with my Rem 700P 308. I was using the 3rd Mildot for a aiming point. For the price I paid, I can't loose as I can always sell them later used for close to what I paid for it. Glass is nice and sharp, but a in lower light at 16x, the image does get darker which is to be expected as it is only a 42 mm objective. The depth of field on the high magnifications is somewhat shallow but from what i read, with a short scope and wide zoom range, that is a trade off you have. The side parallex adjustment is handy and I like it, as my other scopes, Burris and Leupold only had the AO on the end of the scope. I'm probably going to buy another with target turrets for my Tikka .243....
