It was cery easy to tune and super crisp once tuned it actually made it easy to set the parralax no moving the head because as soon as the image came crisp it was spot on. But you had to create the habbit of doing parallax checks ie walking threw the bush to get to a look out you had to remember to shoulder the rifle and focus the parallax on something near or if you bumped an animal and shouldered the rifle and it was set from your last shot their would be no image, every other scope iv had is shootable on any parallax setting. I learnt that habbit but it still really pissed me off

    The parallax issue you mentioned is common in scopes with big magnification ranges. It's hard/impossible to design a scope that does everything well.

    Basically any scope with and 8x or 10x magnification range is going to suffer from a poor depth of field or have an unforgiving parallax.

    One fault, heavy. To some that matters based on your requirements/preferences and to others it doesn’t, like all faults in other brands.
