I received it right after my first post from swfa. I will have to say Sean your 100% correct I @ 600 rds with no problems on my lr 308. I can't wait till the end of this mounth when I will be able to view some distance. The glass is really nice and bright for the $ and my adjs are not anything to complaine about. I will also report that the .1 mil version is correct in adjs to the reticle. Well, I got a Lrs and have been using it alot. I received it right after my first post from swfa.

Every company will have a dud now and then including Nightforce. A friend of mine bought a Burris Tactical and ran out of elevation to get it zeroed at 100 yards. Sent it back and the new one was fine. The LRS-1 I have and the 4 other people I shoot with that have one have NO problems at all. Every person so far that has shot with me and used the scope have bought one and said this is the last scope they will every own.

Took it to the range the next day. The knobs are very mushy, the optics have a foreign object on the lens, don't know what it is, but every time I squeeze the trigger it jumps around and won't wipe off. Whether Bushnell owns Millett or not, it's still made in China and everything that comes from China has virtually no quality control and is crappy at best. Hey, what do you expect from optics for $450.00 that are made in China? I wouldn't buy this again but will use it until I've saved the 2,000.00 I need to buy a NightForce.

PS,I need to get up to speed on the new tech.There are more new calibers than you can shake a stick at!
