    Made it through clean luckily. Tried it out tonight, not the best for shooting little groups pretty good for its intended use.

    The Lucid P7 is without a doubt the best scope I have ever purchased. Its used on a SR556 16" 1:9 twist piston AR. Here' s the no BS target at 100m with this 4 power scope:

    It keeps this zero after disassembly and reassembly so really rapted with its performance

    Depends on what you want to use it for I suppose. I had a 1-4 on mine, but found 4x too little mag for shooting hares and rabbits at 250m plus. So just fitted a 3-9x40 VX2 and it seems to be working well. I am missing the illuminated reticle in the 1-4 though for shooting goats and rabbits at close range or out of helicopter.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    I use a Nikon P223 4-12 x 40 BDC. The glass is nice and clear (I use it out to 500 metres) and the BDC graduations are spot on.

    Have an Atibal XP8 and it is awesome have taken a fallow at 270 yards and a magpie at 350 yards. Out to about 300 yards I could consistently hit a 6 inch plate (and most nearer the centre) just by shifting to use just the upper point at 100 the centre for 200 and the bottom point for 300 yards.
