As for any good scope having 1/8 MOA adjustments? When did this become the case. In my oppinion 1/2 MOA is perfect for most aplications, especially if you are planning on actually using those turrets for their purpose longer range shooting, quickly. Who wants to sit there and crank all day on their turrets and remember 8 clicks is one MOA? when they have to make a 4 foot adjustment. Maybe un the world of long range target match shooting 1/8 adjustments have their place but that is not what this scope was designed to do. This scope is really a sweetheart and for the price it is unbeatable. I bought one expecting to be disapointed and found myself using the scope as my primary optic for my duty rifle. After using this scope I am planning on putting 3 more on different rifles, one is even my hunting rifle. The best part is, I can afford to do this for the price of one Leupold MK4.

FYI I have one of these optics close to 2000 rounds through it I can say that it is a fine tool. In my personal opinion cranked down to 1X it is faster to gain a sight picture that with many red dots, but the real advantage is being able to crank it up to 4X on those medium to long range shots. I noticed the BDC is relativly close to point of impact at extended range not dead on, but this can not be expected, since there are so many variables between rifles, ammo,and mounting options. Overall though it is a good rugged optic that has kept me excited.

@DTOM1775 Sootch, this doesn’t include the ART II, though. The ART II is built in Oklahoma.

In case anyone is interested, Leatherwood/Hi-Lux purchased their own factory in China a couple of years ago and now builds their own products. The CMR was designed last year, released this year and is a combination of some of Jim Leatherwood’s ideas he left with his partner, and the input from one of their technical advisors who is a former combat sniper, and is currently a law enforcement firearms instructor and avid big game/safari hunter.

What do you think .. good choice for a Socom 16? seems like it may do the job.

WOW that scope sounds really sweet! I really like the Zro Lock turrets, it sounds like a really good idea. 1x-4x gives you plenty of range, if you need more, you should probably just grab a designated sniper rifle anyway… Thank you so much for reviewing it!

WOW
if this scope holds together under FIRE then it will be a really good deal!

I’ve wanted one with “the look” of this one for my RECCE rifle.

I’ll definately be looking into this scope. THANX FOR THE REVIEW!
