I received my first of five of these and unfortunately I'll be sending it in for an exchange. The elevation turret is way too difficult to unlock, even with considerable leverage. My wife and 13 year old son couldn't move it at all. I have three more arriving on Monday, so hopefully those have better turrets.

As for the optic itself, I'm otherwise extremely impressed with the overall package. If the others are as nice optically and mechanically (other than the elevation turret of course), I'll be very tempted to order a few more of these for future rifles.

EDIT: I took the turret cap off and looked more closely at the elevation drum. It seems that someone tightened the drum set screws and actually stripped them out in the process. They even gouged the drum in the process, which had been hidden by the zero stop ring. I have a difficult time believing that they would have done this at the factory, but everything appeared to be new and untouched. I suppose this could have been previously sold and meticulously repackaged to appear as new. Anyway, it's packaged up and going back on Monday. So as not to create any confusion, this example was not sold to me by Doug....maybe that was my first mistake. smile
