    I ran one on my old 300blk AR

    They are good for thick stuff and spook and shoot, but you do lose quite a bit of versatility over an lpvo. Had a couple of times where I let animals walk that I probably would have shot with a low power scope to get a bit more detail in the Bush.

    I definately wouldn't use one for tops hunting unless you wanted the added challenge of trying to get inside 100m to make a shot.

    Also generally they are a bit shit in low light.
    tikka, norsk and dannyb like this.
