Just got it today and wow, what a great value! I was expecting this to be a budget scope but it's not. Glass, turret feel (more confident clicks) and zero stop are all better than my nikon FX1000. I like everything about it. If I could only change one thing it would be to make it lighter, but as I understand they are purposely made like tanks to be able to take abuse and I'm ok with that. Definitely would recommend and would purchase again.

I'm 49 yrs, old, old army guy, shot all my life. From Swarosvki, Zeiss, Leupold, Vortex, Burris, Bushnell to name a few, i have it all. Few weeks ago, I was playing with my 17 HMR, It was a Vortex 6-18, Image was not crystal, tracking with turret was very spongy. I started to look on youtube. This guy Cyclop Optic is no joke. He was talking about the Element and tested them, OK its not a 2K riflescope. BUT, Today I put it on and went to the range, Also with me my 6.5CM with a Vortex PST Gen 2. Long stroy short, I prefer the ELEMENT. tracking is similar but the sight picture IS better. At this price, its something to put on the top of the list, but its 26.3 onces.....
