For what is worth, I've got this scope on my 458SOCOM and it is working great. I am, naturally, partial to the reticle, but that is a personal choice.

The scope itself is likely my favourite tweener on the market right now.

As soon as I get my hands on the Leica ER5 1.5-8x32, I will do another tweener scope article most likely.

In the meantime, I am enjoying the HD LH quite a bit. It is very good optically. I doubt you will do better for the money. Critically, it has an excellent eyepiece design, so acquiring the target is very fast.
