Just as an update, I bought the scope , zeroed it a 100 yds this evening and the first shot at 400 would have dropped a deer in its tracks using the reticle as it is marked. Focus and eye relief are better than I was led to believe on various posts and the mule deer feeding along the range allowed me to try the reticle and scope in real hunting conditions. I am completely happy with all the results that one evening of shooting so far.
