    The scope is great. It is a quality of optic worth 200$ more than the price its sold at for what you get. Glass clarity is fantastic, definitely comparable to $1000 scopes. Tracking is spot on. I like the illumination better in this, than in my vortex pst gen2 in the same range of power. Turrets are level with the reticle which makes leveling the scope even easier.

    Now, for the negatives on my particular scope. The clicks on the elevation turret are too light, I wish they were more robust like the windage knob which is perfect. The turret numbers for the elevation are difficult to perfectly align with the clicks. Like I said, the windage turret is perfect, it aligns perfectly and has robust clicks. Lastly, the zero stop instructions are not as clear as they should be. For example, the image shown in the instruction manual doesn't exactly look like whats inside the turret, and the description is not the same as what is physically there. Luckily, someone of was kind enough to post a video on youtube describing the process in detail.

    Would I recommend this scope? Absolutely. For the price, it cant be beat. Its a great scope for those starting out in the precision long range realm. I have a vortex pst gen2, and the only difference is the reticle. Yes, it seems my elevation turret is not outstanding, however it works as it should and doesn't shift on its own.

    P.S
    The scope cap sizes for this are Butler Creek cap size 43 and size 19
