Had it on my Annie HMR though I rarely used the target turrets after a while. Most of the time set at x8 though for the long shots there was the option to crank up; though the FOV got a bit tight at that x16. Absolutely rock solid.
    They now do a fine centre crosshair for target shooters. I went with the 65 ret which has a very fine crosshair as i do some BR. Here's a link to pdf file for available reticles. (tells you whether suitable for target shooting etc)
