Looking at getting one of these scopes. How's the eye relief, eye box? Resolution at dusk and dawn? All experiences appreciated...thanks guys.

I've had one on a 300 wsm for 6 years and it has been optically great with good eye relief and more than enough eye box. Great dusk and dawn performance. Scope usually doesn't quit until it's illegal to shoot.


If I give an opinion on it, I have used or owned it.

I have one with a #4 reticle. Scope is very nice, reticle is awesome in low light, glass gets you way past legal and eye relief is good. For a hunting scope it is very nice. If you are looking for a dedicated long range scope I don't think its the one.

I bought that scope last year on a closeout deal from Camera Land, with the Z-Plex reticle. Put it on a .270 wsm. Worked great in Idaho for elk and here in Missouri for whitetails. Love it, super bright, good eye relief and box. Couldn't ask for more in a scope (given my budget limitations), great bang for the buck.
