Put it on my .450 Bushmaster and it shoots great as expected. It is a heavy scope, but I'm happy with it. They are still on sale at Palmetto State Arms for $199.95 in case anyone is interested. Mike.
Mike;
Looking through it, how much dead space is around the actual optical window? I ask because I looked through a 30mm tubed 56mm objective scope once that had a lot of dead space between the optical window and the outside world. I think some scope manufacturers cheat on the terms and results. Then again, I bought my dad a Redfield Revolution 3-9x40 to replace his dilapidated 3-9x40 Redfield Widefield and it seemed like the optical window was huge. Good light gatherer also. Dad didn't like the Revolution and had me put the Widefield back on, even though it wandered about 2-3 MOA over his .30-06 at 100 yds and the lateral crosshair was slightly canted. He missed the TV screen style view.
