I just got my super slam euro, like it very much. Glass probably on par or better than minox za5, Leupold vx-3. Great eye relief on mine.
That thing on the left....my old ride, some days I miss her.

Excellent scopes for the money, own(ed) three of them and looking at the 800373 for an upcoming project.

Decent scopes, good glass, like the turret design.  However somewhat limited elevation on the ones I have used.

 I ended up ordering the 4x20-50mm super slam euro with signature Z rings and 20 moa base. Could I use the + 10 or + 20 inserts for added elevation or just stick with the 0 inserts?

darb, own a few Weaver Super Slams myself.  Nice glass and turrets track well.  Don't see many Super Slams at range I'm a member, but their owners are quite happy with them.  Two of my Super Slams are 4-20x50, but they are not a Euro.

Have one of my 4-20x50s on a rifle rebarreled to 7x57 mauser.  Used this combo the day our private shooting club opened up a 600 yd range.  Found I had enough turret adjustment elevation to regularly bust the balloons (about 8" diameter) on the target wall.  So, based on this, wonder if you need any additional help on increasing the elevation.

Sounds like I do not net the additional moa with the inserts, I ordered the 20 moa base with the scope. Are there any cons in doing so? thanks for the reply
