What are the two "side" reticles, left and right of the verticle, below the horizon? Reanging reticles I'm guessing...
Do you have one? I’ve heard nothing but the highest praise regarding image quality. Val is local to me. Going to have a look sometime soon. I love FFP, but want to see reticle for myself.Don't decide until you do a deep dive on the Valdada Recon G-2 4.8-30x56.

I probably wouldn't argue any of these points. But... I haven't forgotten what it's like to be an impecunious shooter, even though those days are 40+ years behind me. So long story short, if we, i.e., Ledd Slinger and I can afford top-shelf 'scopes, then more power to us. Not everyone is at that stage in their life though, so if a top-line Chinese made 'scope fills the financial and practical bill, then I would say that is what they should buy. Which was actually my point. It's noice to have nice things, but you don't have to spend a fortune to get decent glass.Chinese scopes and other optics can have very good glass these days. But you have to be careful that you aren’t fooled by the diamond dangling in front of the dung pile. The biggest difference I’ve seen is that over time the Chinese glass and coatings will deteriorate and gradually produce worse and worse images. Everything is great for a while and you think you got an amazing deal but then a while later after normal to hard use in the field where lenses have to be cleaned often you notice it’s hard to focus or not as bright as it used to be in low light. This is usually due to cheap coatings wearing off and/or lenses falling out of alignment.
Top tier quality Japanese and German schott glass scopes with great durable coatings from well renowned manufacturers deliver the same crisp and bright image 20 years later as they do when the scopes were brand new.
Then we all know about the difference in mechanical reliability. A Chinese scope usually cuts corners to save money by reducing the quality of glass/coatings and internal components. Which of course are the most important parts of a scope.
Well in that case I would tell someone to look at the Meopta Optika6 line of scopes. Czech made, affordable for most people and better optics than most any other Chinese made scopes in that price point.I probably wouldn't argue any of these points. But...

Not if the op wants to see trace at distanceArken ep 5 5x25x56 definitely for the money and has great glass.
Really? Not looking to argue. Could you please post valid information on this.Not if the op wants to see trace at distance
I'd never expect high end performance out of a $550.00 scope. Thanks for your reply.Yeah my buddy over at panther hallow has done lots of testing he has a YouTube channel where he does testing. Close range the scope does well but trying to see bullet trace at distance is very tough. I bought one and did testing with it myself. For $550.00 it’s a good scope but don’t expect high end performance.
If you are looking around in the scope immediately after recoil to see your bullet trace and spot where you missed then you probably aren’t following thru with your shot correctly. Focus solely on the target and properly follow thru on your shot then you probably won’t have to worry about looking for bullet trace because you’ll have less missesYeah my buddy over at panther hallow has done lots of testing he has a YouTube channel where he does testing.
