I have owned one for 2 years. the only thing I don't like is the red reticle is sometimes hard to see in the sun. Other than that i love it I have been able to rang stumps out to about 850 yards, but on average between 6 and 7 hundred is most common(stumps,animals). This does not bother me because I am mostly a bow hunter.
Remember that buck is climbing that Mt. every day!

I have been using my buddy's for the last few months while he is deployed. Small, light weight, simple controls. The Red reticle is great for low light situations like the night hunting here in germany.

I like it. he is coming back from deployment in a couple weeks. hopefully he forgets about it  :rolleyes:

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
