Just got one of these from Camera Land NY for about 200. I havent gotten to do much more then unbox, and mount it. But so far im VERY impressed with the quality of the image, accessories included, and general value of this thing.
Packaging is nice, if really bloody bulky. If i didnt KNOW it was a scope I might have mistaken the box for a nice pair of basket ball shoes.
Comes with butler creek class flip up covers, sunshade, and cleaning cloth (which is attached to its own cute little bag....thing).
Standard paperwork, etc...
I ware size 13 slipper/shoes
Physically its not as large a scope as one would think, It is pretty heavy tho at 24oz.
The build quality feels and looks good. I ended up with the Gray, cause it was cheap....
Finish is nice and smooth, little red rings are subdued enough to not be upsetting, and all the markings are very nicely done.
If there is one complaint is the badging on the objective is a little loud.
These guys are made in Korea for all you anti-China folks.
Optically Im very happy.
I cant really give a much better description than that, as I have a real hard time telling much difference unless its VERY noticeable. Compared to everything I own, its as good (or close enough i cant tell) as any of them.
Ill have to check adjustments, but the turrets click nicely, with very little lash in the mechanism itself. The knobs seem to have some slip in the splines tho, so while theres not noticeable lash in the mechanism, you can very slightly turn the knobs on the posts. That amounts to about a 1/2 line of ambiguity unless you make an effort to make sure its as far one way as it will go. Parallax is 10-infinity and seems to actually be pretty close, at least according to what limited testing i can do.
