Still waiting for my Hunter's MilQuad (0.1 mil lines) with capped windage turret I submitted. Like WTF SWFA? LOL

I like this ultralight. Reticle seems same as Leupold std duplex. It is wider than I prefer, but not as wide as Leupold's wide duplex. And I'm not keen on the ballistic reticles, so I'd rather have this duplex. The clicks are the most positive and audible clicks as I've ever experienced on a hunting or target/tactical scope. I really like it. Eye relief doesn't seem to be a problem as I plan to mount one on a 7mm-08 Mtn rifle and the other on a 6.5 CM Kimber Montana. We'll see how it works at the range. ![[Linked Image]](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4846/44939759365_46c2c235f4_z.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1961/30913423867_aa98eab336_z.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4895/30913423727_9681da997d_z.jpg) I’m thinking about one of these. How’s the glass? Can you compare the glass and lowlight to any other scopes?

Glad they took care of you aalf.
TexasWicked1,
Any idea when the new reticle on the ss ultralight might be debuting?
And any idea if there is discussion of a modified version of same with a longer ER?
Thank you kindly. Sadly I do not and please call me Skylar. I assume its soon, however they have not provided us with any information on a release date on that scope. Additionally I am not aware of any changes being made to the scope, with the exception of the reticle.

I checked last night about 30 minutes after sunset, and it seems on par with my 2.5-8's. But I was just looking at rooftops a couple streets over. I haven't really had time to spend on it yet. I did focus the eyepiece yesterday, and it seems sharp...but I still need to check at more distance.

Thanks for the report 257. I might have to give one of these a whirl at some point.

What is the new reticle that is being discussed?

Thanks! I may have to try one of these in the name of science. I am curious if the short eye relief would be an issue on a fairly heavy .270?
