I thought the optical performance was excellent, but I did not have any of them long enough to wring 'em out to evaluate their durability and reliability. They're definitely head and shoulders above the VX-3 lines optically. Don't be the darkness. America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

I don’t know how it’s gone hold up on the 300 wby mag but if so it will be a fine optic. Fück Joe byron

But where I mostly hunt it is very rare to get a shot much over 200 yards so I seldom mess with the CDS dial. Really like the Firedot though. Heaven has a wall, a gate and strict immigration policy. Hell has open borders. Let that sink in..... I Live for Opening Day!
