Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached FileI just picked up this optic yesterday. I am a big 2-10 fan, and when this first came out, my interest was peaked. $530 later, I have another 2-10 in the stable. The box and presentation when you open the box is very impressive. It comes with everything you would assume it would.
I was a little worried that it didn’t have the parallax adjustment. I am assuming they just went with the dot and omitted parallax as way to save weight. Speaking of weight, this registered 19.5 ounces on my kitchen scale.
The sight picture at distance is clean and crisp from edge to edge. On any power, It is a little blurry from 50 yards and closer. About what you would you expect from the 100 yard fixed parallax.
The illumination is interesting. First off, it is a push button with 10 brightness levels. On 2X, the dot is actually three small dots, creating a little cluster, that makes up one dot. On 10X, the dot is just a typical dot. It is daylight bright. It is 90 degrees out, not a cloud in the sky and it absolutely daylight bright. You hold down the illumination button for four seconds to turn it off. Just push it once to turn it on and you just continue to push it to cycle through the brightness levels.
The turrets and not locking, but with this design and intended application, they do not need to be. Very tactile and audible with no mush or play. Very stiff, but just the right amount. They are hunting turrets all the way. Not really tactical or target style, just really basic. I am not sure if it has zero stop or not. You make your adjustments, lift up the turret and set that zero. Again, more of a hunting design than a tactical.
The reticle is the simple Vortex dead hold. Nothing new there.
Like a lot of quality 2-10, the eye box is generous on any power. The eye relief is generous. I am not sure what the eye relief is because I haven’t mounted it yet. Probably on par with other 2-10, maybe 3”-4”.
I am going to mount it and zero it next weekend. So far, I think for $530, it is a solid option. You just need to decide if a SFP, fixed parallax, daylight bright 2-10 makes sense for you. I have several 2-10, 2.5-10 and 2-12 optics. I would put this in the middle of the pack as of now. Once I mount it and shoot it, I will have a much better idea of well the well the target picture is at distance. This is going on a 12.5” 6.5 Grendel that will be shooting steel from 200-600 yards.
