I'd spend millions and build a sub 13oz 30mm tube FX-3 6x42 with SWFA internals, SWFA elevation knob (zero stop!!!), low profile windage, rear adj. paralax and the Milquad reticle. Or, I might just stick with a 6x MQ, save the millions and hold the fluff..... Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

The last two I've sent in for the same issue, they have replaced with new scopes. We'll see what they do with this one, as they've had it for three weeks now. I'd like the M8's better if the windage tracked better. Makes sighting in a very frustrating experience.

Translation: You want turny things on the top and sides of your scope that makes the line thingy inside move up and down. My one scope would be a NF 3.5-18x44 with a fine duplex and an illuminated dot. Like a Leupold VX6 😎 Curiosity Killed the Cat & The Prairie Dog “Molon Labe”
