Based on this review its $300 wasted. Its a 2nd focal plane and the reticle and turrets dont match. The reviewer wanted a marking for windage and elevation? REALLY? Ive never even touched a windage knob after zeroing let alone confused the two. Clearly this gentlemen dosent have much scope experience. " one small problem is the mounting system sucks horribly"... Oh thats all... A scopes only as good as the rings and rail attaching it to the rifle. Two thumbs down.

I'm with Kentactic, that sight sucks for long range shooting, having a mildot reticle with MOA turrets is a big NO NO

For the guys who don't get much about scopes, there is a video series called Sniper 101, check the chapters 14 to 22 they explain a lot about scopes

Here is the chapter 14 for starters
