This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite pieces of equipment. One of the best non LRF ranging optics i've used.
Glass is very clear on it with objective focus and reticle focus. It is small and stays out of the way while beating around in the bush. Has a light shield on the eyepiece to keep glare down from the sun. Decent Lanyard (although not tactical environment friendly) with a snap on clip for quick detachment.
It is surprisingly easy to hold stable either freehand or braced up against an object. Readily handy to grab at a moments notice to get eyes on. It has 3 quick ranging silhouette outlines for quick ranging on human targets. With vortex's unconditional lifetime warranty it gets used and abused without worry.
An obj lense cap that snaps shut would be a nice accessory or addition to it.
Only negative thing i'd have to say on it is the carrying case. It provides less protection for the optic than i'd like. Belt strap is poorly secured (by a small light duty snap). I revamped my carrying case for it though with little effort.
I'd recommend this piece of gear to anyone that still practices old school ranging techniques.
overall rating 8 of 10
