Would you call that a deer hunting scope or a Rule 308 scope? (just askin’)
The brightness of the scope under early and late day conditions is exceptional. Resolution is very crisp. Cheaper scopes will not come close to the optical quality of this scope. Windage and elevation changes are positive and accurate; something not reliable with cheaper scopes.
If you are satisfied with less, that's OK. If you're wanting quality combined with ruggedness, the 10x42M is the one for you.
