Glass is really clear and very bright! I'm presently surprised with the clarity for the price! Love the compact size too! Finish is great as well. Only complaint, is that it seems the eye relief is almost too long, at least for the ring/base combo that I'm using. I have the scope as far forward on the rifle as it can go, and it puts the scope just at the edge of the eye relief "area"(which is pretty large and forgiving). The eye relief itself is very generous and has a large "sweet spot" like they advertised, but for my setup, it's almost too long. I don't think it'll be a problem as I have it set where I think it needs to be(according to the close eyes, shoulder rifle, open eye test). But something to consider for those of you potential buyers, especially those with AR's. You'd definitely need a scope mount that is cheated forward(such as the Burris PERP and armalite mount systems).
This is my new go to rig, and look forward to getting her out in the field in the next few days!
I have the same gun with the same scope I just put together, here is a group. those shots are 8,9,10 when the rifle was brand new
personally I see nothing wrong with the factory rings and used those, one thing I did notice is the tracking on the new redfield wasn't that great, how did yours track. ammo used was federal 55 grain btips, they run 3750ish in my gun
What caliber is that to shoot a 55gr bullet? It appears to be belted.
