What is your opinion on this scope?

I bought one on a whim a few months ago and it is still in the box.

How is tracking durability and clarity?

Thank you!

Loco pull it out of the box and see for yourself. 

I had one for awhile, kinda wish i hadnt sold it now. I had no complaints with it but i just decided to try something different. Guess it depends on what you plan on doing with the scope.

I am going to get this exact scope from SWFA so I'm curious about other folks chiming in that have used this scope too.

I personally haven't owned or used one so this is second hand info.  A fellow on the line a few lanes down had one and said it tracked perfect on the first revolution of elevation.  About half way through the second turn it started to drop off and gradually got worse.  He had an adjusted dope sheet out to 1000 for it and said it was spot on repeatable.  He was hitting Steel at 1000 with a one shot correction, no clue if the miss was due to the scope elevation or what.  Again, second hand info ... mileage will vary
