I'm still on the fence with that scope. i have the R-15 and was thinking about switching to that scope but I'm not sure i like the circle instead of the cross hairs for zero. have you taken a shot on game yet? what kind of groups are you getting at the range with that circle reticule?

Just got it yesterday and have not got it out on the range yet, but I am chomping at the bit to get out and kill some paper with her.

the R-15 is a very accurate rifle. I'm not sure about factory loads since i don't shoot them but with my reloads off a bench rest it makes one ragged hole at 100 yards and inch groups at 200. mine has the 22inch barrel and it looks like yours is the 18 but I'm sure its a tack driver non the less. let me know how you like that scope. one thing Ive heard is its a little harder to sight in because of the lack off the cross hairs touching, just may take you a few more rounds. i will be interested in your review so make sure to update please.

I just got her sighted in, It didn't take much at all, the Scope takes a little getting used to but I really like the reticles on it.  I think it is personal preference though. I was used to the cross hairs on a regular scope but just put that circle on the kill zone and your good to go.  This gun shoots really nice and is a tack driver for sure.
