I bought this scope new in 2009 and it functions as designed, but over time I've learned that for my hunting purposes I am better off with lower minimum magnification, mil turrets, and a ffp mil reticle on a centerfire set up, as reflected by most of my trade list. I also have 7 weeks a year I can hunt whitetail with a scoped inline muzzleloader, hence the sfp low mag scope trade options I'm looking for. Most of my local shot opportunities are 10-70 yards, 8.5x minimum mag is a hindrance for those situations. So, this scope just doesn't fit my current use cases and I'm looking to swap it out.
