Ten aspects pertaining to the riflescope were highlighted for review and condensed into 6 to determine overall build, quality and value of the offering (the overall score out of 10 was subsequently 9.5):

1. Eye relief & Diopter Adjustment

2. Magnification adjustment

Anthony's overall thoughts

Excellent spec on this optic, great for PRS/NRL 22LR, 100MOA elevation spec is generous.

Shot 12mm and 25mm gong at 75 easily with this scope and reticle, hit steel out to 300m no problem.
