Don't get me wrong the scope is a fine quality scope but for the price but maybe I should have paid the extra $70 for the 4-14x40 instead. I know, the quest never ends!The scope at the highest magnification x9 is just right for 100 yards at the rifle range but it would be a challenge for shooting at target further than that and knowing your not hoping and praying you'll hit the 12" bulls eye target.To compensate though is the BDC reticle which I have not yet had a chance to prove at a farther distance tha 100 yards.Since the target object would really be visually small looking through the scope at the max 600 yards it would really be interesting at that distance if you can really hit the target!
