I found a really good deal on a new one so thought I would try it out. I currently have a Vortex Golden Eagle with the ECR reticle on my 6.5 Creedmoor gun and really like that scope.
When I get it installed and get some shots with it I'll post a review on it. I really like some of the features on it over the Vortex. Lots of people tell you it's all about the glass but I have found some really cheap (inexpensive) scopes with decent glass but the turrets wont track worth a shit. To me that is way more important. I'm working on learning the reticle trying to figure out my holdovers and not worry about turning the turrets so much but that does require a really good reticle, not just simple crosshairs.I would like to read a review on it, I didn't find any on this site. I like the reticle, similar to your ecr(compared to fine cross hairs).
I saw those advertised, but was not sure if would worth the risk for my setup How do like the reticle for precise aiming? Does it cover too much of the aiming point?I purchased the Optics Planet Exclusive version for fclass use. Overall I like the scope but it definitely looses a good bit of brightness and clearity when going above ~32 power. Scope can be found for around $700 and for that price I’m really happy with it and you probably couldn’t do better in that price range. Doubt it keeps up with some of the higher end fclass and bench rest scopes performance at 35 power and above but it is also a good bit less.
