I was impressed by this scope when I took it out of the box, but I wanted to get some range time with it before I wrote a review.I waited a while before actually purchasing it, not because I didn't think it was a great scope but because that is a lot of money toshell out for a scope. I did my research on it and knew it would be great, well I finally purchased it and WOW! After it was deliveredI went to my garage and set it up on am makeshift stand (I did not have the mount yet). I sighted it down my driveway on a bank across the road from my driveway, by the way the distance is 90 yards. I dialed the power up to 32 and adjusted the parallax. I sighted on a dandelion and Icould clearly see the individual petals on the flower, if a bee had been buzzing around it I would be able to see it clearly.I received the mount a day or two later, I would highly recommend a quality mount. I went with the nightforce x-treme duty ultralite unimount. I spent a lot of money on the scope so I wasn't going to skimp on the mount, I would suggest that you do the same.Range day: I am fortunate enough that my father owns a large piece of property and a hunting cabin, so I have built and use my own private range. It is currently 300 yards but I am working on extending it to 600 yards. I zeroed the scope and began working on my steel targets. I set up three sillouettes at 100, 200 and 300 yards. If you haven't shot on steel targets then you are missing out on something great. I am hooked on steel.My targets are set up on brackets that slide over and lock on steel T-fence posts and are attatched to the bracket by a grade 8 carriage bolt. I couldsee the grade lines in the carriage bolt at 100 yards. At 300 yards I could clearly see the bumps on the front side of the posts.I was dialed up to 32x and the size of the 12"x20" target in the scope was large. Like I mentioned earlier I could not only see the post, but thedetails of the post at 300 yards. The scope dialed in quickly and very precise and I myself only shooting at the top 4"x4" projection of the target.I would like to point out that I am not shooting some high dollar custom precision rifle, it is a Remington model 700 VLS heavy barrel in 308. Theonly thing that has been done to the rifle is a trigger job. I was rewarded with sub MOA groups at 300 yards. I quickly discovered that if I shot high on the 4"x4" section of the target, that it would rock back and slide down to the bottom of the post. I found this to be a fun little game and repeated it several time at 100, 200 and 300 yards.The bottom line is, yes this is an expensive scope. I was worried that it would not meet with my expectations and after spending $2400 on it and the mount and that would be tragic. If that is your concern I assure you that this scope is worth every penny. It is very well built and the optics are amazing. The scope can take a lot of abuse as well. watch some of the nightforce torture test videos on youtube.I saved up for this scope for a while and I know if will serve me well for many years to come, probably a lifetime.Thankyou to the folks at Nightforce for building a high quality product, I look forward to many more range sessions. Thankyoufor reading this long review, if you are anything like me then you do a lot of research before buying.THIS SCOPE IS WORTH THE MONEY!!!The best advice I can give is buy the highest quality equipment you can, even if you have to save for a while, that goes for anything.Quality doesn't cost, it pays.
