    Hi Tahr, the 3 ring ballistic turret is quite tall and narrow and on a couple ive seen it wobbles in your fingers.
    A mate had one that failed twice in some way and he changed it out to a leupold.
    But through his scope i could see a deer at last light i really couldnt make out through my S&B so the glass and light quality is excellent.
    I expect this scope would be rugged with low closed cap turrets. Eg for a flat shooting calibre like 243 or 7RM out to say 250m.
    The plain reticle is very nice.

    Ive replaced the ballistic turret on both my Z5 with a MOA turret from Outdoorsman in the States. They are good. Have dialled one of them to 475 yards and shot a pig ok. Yes glass is great.
