Thanks for posting all the info, Elmer. This scope is very close to what I envision as the ultimate all around hunting scope (size, weight, magnification range, glass quality, short large diameter turrets, zero stop, internal travel, reputation for durability, repeatability, etc). I'm anxious to see what their Mil reticle will look like when available next year.
I prefer FFP scopes but this has so much going for it that can't be matched anywhere else I might get one anyway. We'll see.
The price for the hunting model you got for those who don't want illumination or a fancy reticle is one heck of a deal. It's hard to think of any hunting-oriented scope that could match it for less (Swaro Z6, S&B, top end Zeiss, etc).
