Gimp is the only person I know who has trailed it as a hunting scope.
Personally for the same sort of $ I would take a us optics 1-8 power over it as a hunting scope if you value ruggedness highly, I have not used mine much at all unfortunately but I have been impressed with how it works.
If your happy to step back a little in ruggedness I have used both gen 1 and gen 2 Swarovski 1-6 power scopes with illuminated reticules a fair amount and rate them very highly and they now do a 1-8 power version that I would love to play with.
All these options are more versatile in mounting hight than a elcan and are in the same price bracket in NZ
