    Hermitage liked post by Beetroot On thread : Tactical High Powered Scope Confusion
    The main "issue" with the scope in question is the mismatched reticle and turrets, whilst it used to be common to have a Mil reticle and MOA turrets you won't find it on any new scopes. Mismatched...

    Hermitage liked post by Flyblown On thread : Tactical High Powered Scope Confusion
