I did try and warn him!
These are very good for the money and I think I will be selling a few scopes to go over to these, although the Sightron on my HFT gun will remain. I have a 4x12x40 pan and a TAC 30 fixed 10x on my back up HFT rig. The Tac 30 is not too far behind the Sightron though, which makes you think.
The good thing is how bright they are, and clear. I find that they do have a very slight convex look to the image but this can be useful for HFT with the closer shots.
