I am looking for a spotting scope with a mil-based FFP reticle, and this one seems to do everything I need at a fairly moderate price. Does anyone have experience with this specific spotting scope, or does anyone own it and can comment on its price/performance, or any possibly not so obvious pros and cons to consider?
Comparisons with other similar scopes are also welcome.

My 1000yd range has an older Leopold with a reticle. Great spotter with a mill based crosshair that worked well for spotters to call out firing corrections if they caught splash. It was an older unit and I don't believe they still make the model we used but I do know Leo has reticle spotters in their current product line. Don't know how the new ones function though..

This is a very fine line of scopes! First Comment too! I own about four of them and they are incredibly awesome! I will be trying to make a review on them soon.

Anyone found a moderately priced Spotting Scope with a Mil based reticle that is decent?

I have "Sightmark Latitude 20-60x80 XD" in mind. I've heard people say it was pretty good out to a mile at around 40X, but I need to see it for myself when any one bring it to the range. Until then, it's what he said she said thing.

I can't seem to find a copy of the "Sightmark Latitude 20-60x80 XD" reticle. Maybe I'm getting thick in my old age.. Hoping it's a mil radian based reticle.

where did you get that?? also is that mils or moa? All my scope reticles are Mil so that's what I'm hoping.

As far as scopes go I have to say I have not been disappointed with primary arms.. not quite as good of warranty as vortex but quality, clarity are on par and i have to say the click are more defined along with the zero stop i think definitely puts them as a legit competitor. From what ive been able to read(not 100%verified) they are made by the same Japanese company that make vortex

Ted that’s a spotting scope. It’s nice to have a reticle to call out corrections if spotting for someone. Reticle can be used for ranging game to if you can do a little math in your head..

Update: I have decided to give it a try and have ordered a Cronus Tactical in black. It's not in stock, so it will take a while until delivery, but as soon as I have, I'll let you folks know what it's like. Probably do a little review or so...

Let us know how you like it. I definitely need a spotting scope. My dad was my range partner and since he died I really dont have any way to call my shots . I can see them through my scope but I would much rather have something that is stationary and 60x magnification

x2. It was a ah ha moment the see how functional the reticle was at the range and quite surprising how few spotting scopes had a reticle on a FFP unit even though I was looking thru an older unit. From my perspective, a ranging reticle on a SFP is a waste of space. Definitely looking for a tough product report on that scope that stretches its legs to at lease 1K yds..

Correct me if im wrong but I think ranging in sfp is alot more complex, usually they are only able to do so at a specific magnification( i think most are set for max magnification for ranging)and if it does it at all magnification it either takes alot of math or a chart that gives the units at each magnification?

My spotting scope was delivered a few weeks ago, so far it has worked very well for me. I will post a review soon.
