I agree...stiff was an understatementTattooo, I have the exact same scope, but with the EBR-1 MOA reticle. It's a fantastic scope at an unbeatable price point.
My only complaint was the very stiff zoom ring (common issue on nearly all variable scopes). I ordered the SwitchView throw lever for it and never looked back. Get the one that's made for that scope. The plastic "universal" ones are okay, but after spending that much on the scope, why cheap out when the real deal is so much better?
I agree...stiff was an understatement...just put a switchview myself
sweet nice shooting! Hitting head shots at 25mph wind at 300 is impressive.
