I've had this scope for a couple of days now. Here are my initial thoughts.
Very well made. Seems solid as I should seeing as it is rated as suitable to deal with the recoil from a .50 cal.
It looks great on my Pro Sport being a traditional tubes style.
I am impressed with the mounts supplied with the scope. Again, very solid. As well as the screws holding the top rings they slot into the bottom half as well (see pic). It's also nice to have the torque settings printed on the sides of the mounts. The setting for attaching to the rail is 4nm so plenty of grip. The only slight peeve is that they come in picatinny only but a rail adapter with arrester pin sorted that out
The parallax adjustment is on the objective lens. I guess they couldn't have it at the side because that's the battery compartment. A throw lever made that easier to use.
The sight picture is very good being 4k but it's not as good as decent glass so don't be surprised by that. I have found that when focusing the depth of field at the POA is very narrow so with my old eyes it has to be set precisely. The really wonderful thing is that being digital it has completely eliminated my old enemy, Parallax. This leaves me more time to perfect hold, cheek weld and head position and I've found it makes me more consistent.
Zeroing is a bit weird at first but it's genius. You take a shot at your aim point, go back to that aim point and freeze the picture, then move the reticle on the x and y axis until it's on top of your original POI and jobs a good 'un. As with anything new practice makes perfect.
Oh yeah! It also has a digital cant and angle display in the viewfinder. Remember to calibrate the gyroscope first though. Ask me how I know
The real game changer is the ballistic calculator in tandem with the laser range finder. Sure there's a lot of measuring and looking stuff up before you input the data but something that was missed in most of the videos I watched was using the DNT app to input the figures was much easier. Then when connected to the scope via Wi-Fi you simply tap the sync button and it's there! So when you aim at your target and press the LRF button it shows you a ballistic solution and gives you an aim point on the reticle. Fantastic stuff!
That's it so far. I'm taking it to the club this week so I'll probably do a second update after that.
Cheers all. Buy one
