I have personal used that scope on my Beowulf and thought it was great, in fact I have shot more deer with that optic than any other. Mine had a yellow triangle; just put the tip of it on the deer's heart, squeeze the trigger and they ball up. Would I put that same optic on my Grendel? No…….but not because it does not have good glass or reliable gears. But because I use my Grendel primarily for varmint hunting and prefer more magnification (12 to 16x) with a larger objective lens. In other words a scope that is capable of handling the range and pinpoint accuracy of the 6.5 cartridge.
Depending on your budget check out the Trijicon AccuPoint 5-20x50. http://www.opticsplanet.net/trijicon-acc...scope.html This scope has it all, target turrets, 30mm tube, 50mm objective lens, wide range of magnification, side adjustable parallax, long eye relief, and fiber optic dot for low light conditions. When the magnification is turned down you get a decent field of view and the dot is good for fast target acquisition, kind of like a red dot optic. BEST OF ALL IT’S MADE IN THE USA UNLIKE MOST OTHER OPTICS. I am not lucky enough to own one yet but have shot a rifle with one and thought it was very nice. With the standard crosshair, I would have no problem hunting prairie dogs in western Kansas, but yes, it is very expensive and approaching NightForce or other very high-end optics territory.
Everyone has their own opinion of optics, it would help to know what you plan on doing with it…………………………Roger
