I fell over and broke my 3x Kahles and the young pimply faced guy at Hunting & Fishing said that my old scope was so last year and that these are all the rage. Who was I to argue?

Need one of these...

52 grn Targex right on dark this evening. 80 yard lung shot and she ran/fell about 100 yards down hill. Bullet went right through her. Third dry doe/hind Ive shot recently.

I gave the 75gr eldm (@2900fps) a run yesterday afternoon. First 2 rounds fired at deer since sorting the load out.
1st shot was 280m on a ginger spiker, steep down hill, L to R wind. I held just left of the shoulder point, bang flop!
2nd shot was in the head on a yearling doe at 80m finishing a deer that a mate had spined. The guys shot other deer in the same basin.
It started pissing rain so didn't get any photos, just a chiller pic this morning.

Nice clean job!

Doing well to get 2900fps, interested to hear what your load is?
