It gets the job done for me so far. Only have got to take it out once though.

Research has come through! I believe I'll be ordering one of these tomorrow!

223 4 me: Thanks for the comments I can't wait to get a range report back up here. Hopefully next weekend.


I am so glad you did this research and found such a great priced adjustable rear. I had given up on using one knowing I wasn't going to spend $150.00 and up on one. Your doing a great job on your project, thanks for sharing.

I was a hair width away from purchasing the same package for my Axis .308 but the kill factor was the turrets...i was/am set on mil-mil. Excellent choice though.Their fixed magnification 10 is more or less the equivalent of a "standard" 3 x 9 scope--I'm guessing that's why it's a standard mil-dot. I'm not an expert on scopes--but trust me--if you get one of their fixed-mag scopes you will love their 12 or 16 which are both mil-mil (MRAD). At $299.00 they beat the pants off of my $500 Nikon Monarch IMO--and their reticle is outstanding--none of the cheapo tape-on stuff. : )

If you talk to Joe Leone let him know you got your info from the "Young Jarhead"! He's a great all American guy and the product is very high quality. He used to shoot a lot of bench rest and national match competitions.

Understood...just mounted my swfa ss and am going this saturday. can't wait to get it re-zeroed so i can proceed with load development and break-in procedures with the new additions. i love the mil-quad reticle and am extrememly impressed with the tracking and the turret set-up. loud and crisp! best budget scopes out there!

I thought about a higher fixed magnification but went with 10x to make my calculations easier being new to long range firing solutions. I did splurge the extra charge for the side parallax focus. seems more user friendly.

I'm glad I got the side parallax as I can see all controls without coming out of my shooting position. Hopefully I can have the adjustable plate finished this weekend. It's almost done now just a little more shaping on the final plate and then hand finish them all. I'm going to have them cerakoted along with a tactical Bolt install and have the micro slick coating done on the bolt body by Phoenix customs. I've been in contact with them already and should have final information on it early next week.

Same reason I chose side parallax...although being a lefty it's a bit cumbersome but I just have to manage. never seen a left-handed optic set-up. lol

No different than a right handed shooter reaching for the Windage Knob!

Very true. Congrats on your new addition. I can't wait to get my girl her first pink rifle! On a side note, where does your username come from? I am a huge fan of the "Lone Wolf and Cub" series.

Was always a Loner growing up. Could fit in with any crowd, but claimed no one. Then I joined the Corps and although team oriented I still have to walk my own line. I just can't follow an inefficient leader.

Just a little more fitting/fine tuning, some hand finishing, and reinstall the recoil pad, but you can get the idea now! Then I'll send it off for coating.

Did just a little more today. Have to smooth out the operation still. But it's definitely usable now.

A true work of art--I'd almost be reluctant to fire it. : )

I think it looks great as-is. The whole rifle "fits" with the black action/buttpad, stainless barrel and spacer, and the grey-ish/brown-ish stock.

Ya I just think the end product would look better coated. I haven't had much luck getting an even polished finish. It's shiny, but looks like it has finger prints or smudges because it's not even. Maybe someone can share their own personal tricks.

Good luck LC....She's looking good!

My vote is to not Cerakote the plates...Look good as is!
