[QUOTE="Idgunner, post: 1300249, member: 84194"] For the benefit of others who may be interested; I had a Vortex Diamondback HP scope on this rifle prior to the XTR II and I liked it. It had enough vertical elevation for the .223 to easily reach out past 1000 yards. It did not have a zero stop and that cost me several coyotes so I went looking for something else. I looked at EVERYTHING I could my hands on. Nikon, Vortex, NF, Leopold, Bushnell, everything. I wanted a positive zero stop, FFP that was clear and could focus at point blank range for about $1000. The moment that I picked up an XTR II and rolled back the power ring and set it at minimum focus I knew that I had found my scope. The scope tracks perfectly when I move the elevation for everything from zero to plus 10MOA and back. Horizontal for wind correction is the same. The glass is crystal clear at all but max (20) power and even at 20 is not that bad. I've never had a FFP scope and was not sure that I'd like it but I have to say it is awesome. When I roll the power down the reticle is very fine and at max power is still fine enough to be able to pick my shot on small targets at long distances. The more I use this scope the more I like it.
