Thanks for the eval. I have a couple of theses. I feel better about knowing it passed the drop test.

Have you seen the tracking error with these in the past? I haven’t noticed that with mine, granted I’ve not tested for it specifically and only shoot 600 yards and in, but it’s been spot on.
Thank you. Those look like nice lens covers.Different scope but same type of covers. I love them.

I actually bought the SHV 3-10 a couple weeks before Form posted the eval. I was deciding between the Credo 2.5-15, the NXS 2-10 and this. I was a long time leupold guy for how cheap I could get them, but a recent failure on one of my scopes left a sour taste in my mouth.I am going to buy another scope, preferably one that functions and acts like a scope should. My experience has always been with second focal plane scopes that are a clean duplex or target dot reticle. Think 2-7, 3-9, 2-10, or straight 10x leupold type of scopes. I’m somewhat nervous about stepping outside my comfort zone. The next scope is not going to be a leupold though. The scope is going to go on a 280 Remington and will be zeroed at 200 meters with the ability to dial out to 400 meters, or a reticle that makes 400 meters easy.
Our local range has paper boards to 400 meters and steel at 500meters. If I want to shoot at something out to 400meters it will be dead, beyond that I’m probably not shooting at game. The vast majority of our hunting is less than 100 yard stuff. However we hunt farm country sometimes and head west occasionally. Mountain laurel patches and hemlock groves mostly mixed with the chance for a “long” 300 yard shot when we hunt at the farm. Everyone knows what the west looks like.
I live near Euro Optic and have looked one of these scopes over. It is in the running for my next optic purchase. The 2 power setting and illumination appeals to the close range stuff while the 10 power end appeals for plinking and smelling powder at the range. For those with experience how will it be for the use mentioned above?
Form, would you consider this scope to be a top candidate for 300 yard and in hunting? Or are there any better options? I'm looking for the most rugged scope I can get around the $1000 mark.
