Yeah, because there is your way of doing things, and the wrong way. We get it.

So you stay home if the wind is over 10 mph? That's awfully cute.

Also, take a basic English class.

Just got mine in a the mail. A couple of take aways...

1) I quickly mounted it on a Marlin XS7 bolt action in some Talley lows. Needed some extra mounting space, had to flip the front ring base around. After using pic rails and pic rings over the past 2 years, now I remember why.

2) Glass looks fine. TBD.

3) Clicks aren't crips. I wouldn't call em soft - but they lean that direction. Again - this was under $185 after tax and shipping, so no dreams of this being a substitute for a $1000 scope.

4) This fits nicely on a light carry gun that you also want to play/shoot at game at LR. One inch tube looks small after having 30mm scopes for a while.

5) Turrets reset easily with the allen wrench that loosens the center pin.

6) Range time needed to expand any further. Am I glad I bought it? Yes - I can see this being a nice alternative to the Super Chicken - its cheaper, bolder retile. Yes, FFP if thats a deal killer. But it also makes me appreciate the money I've spent on good stuff - like the LRHS.

All for now. To be tested soon on this little 308 Marlin XS7 that also shoots stupidly good for the price. Right now I've got scope for 185, Talleys for 35, Gun for 295, sling for 25, plus bullets. Pretty handy package for the price.

Yeah I've seen the video at Midway. It prompted me to take a chance on it. Still haven't tested by punching paper, but the reports of finicky eye relief are spot on. Its not a perfect scope, but if you bought one cheap, and it tracks like they say it does, its still a good deal.
