For the money, it works pretty darn well.  However, the optics on the thing are pretty "average"... it is "adequate"… maybe.  Zeiss Victory PRF has much better optics.  


The junk shouldn't be much of an issue.  I have timber too thick to range in at my back, but in front there are no obstructions other than bean stubble for over 1,200yds.  Are the animals you ranged at that distance deer-size game?

deer and cows...
I'm gettin' too old to drag cows that far.

the only day I've really hunted this year I had to pass up a HUGE buck because of freakin' cows.  Too bad you can't shoot 'em...
