has anyone compared the 1000 yard sight picture to a S&amp;B PMII for example... how much quality are we giving up for half the price?

S&b it's in a class in itself. I don't have any complaints with my hdmr scope. It's not as clear as the s&b but I don't see have the price to get the S&b.

I did not have the UTG long enough to really check it out. I sent mine back because the cross hairs were out of align plus the optics were blurry. I have since bought a Nikon P223 3x9. More money, yes, but quality optics.

I haven't tried viewing targets beyond 350 yards, but based on that I don't think magnification would be adequate for 1000 + yards.

It's not bad for the money, but if u want something mil spec it's no where close. But if you don't have the money to get gen 1+ or higher monocular it's worth it. Make sure you get a good IR light or filter on ur rig it'll make a world of difference.

I just replaced my SD870IS with a Canon S100 - a move up in price and features. I am still using my 870 for some work ( it's display has some dead spots).Thanks for the discussion.

I'm shooting at a 100 yard outdoor range, so it's not a problem for me at that distance. Can't vouch for beyond that. Most shooters I know use a scope for beyond 100 yards, and a red-dot like Lucid's HD7 for CQC and less than 100 yard engagements.

I have it sighted in at 100yards,but I do not have a 500 yard range available to me. So I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you. I'm not wasting a bunch of lead on paper.

Yes. If you were in the service, it's quality is like the ANPVS-4. Grainy but not terrible with a delicate focus depth. The cost represents the quality, accurately.

Quick question for all of you who know a little bit more. This is mostly aimed at the guy who used WMM. " Did you lose any quality converting it? " Obviously we all bought this camera b/c it has decent quality but if you lose it what the point. Thanks for the help, Cheers!

The vortex lines up with my eotech well. The biggest difference between the vortex magnifier and the eotech is the picture window. You definitely have a larger viewing window with the eotech. This does not make a lot of difference at 100 yards and for me, the price of the vortex made it a much better buy than spending another 500 on eotech

You'll need to zero the red dot/green dot on the distance you're comfortable with. Me, it was 100 yards. There is no magnification and is easy to pick up.

From previous ownership and use - not suggested. The internals just did not survive recoil - based upon 145-168 grain in .308. Also, very poor optical quality/clarity's not this one.

True answer is you get what you pay for. It's an accurate sight and is fun to use,, but if you need it for high precision or active duty use, stick to the upper quality. For a hobby it's a fine sight.

I have 3 Bushnell and they are good cameras but have recently got 2 Browning Strike Force Sub Micro 10mp. I like them better. Better pics and less batteries.

That's all up to you as a shooter knowing your weapon and ammo. You can dope the scope to shoot 1000 yards of your gun and ammo can do it. From a realistic standpoint, I was shooting 150 fmj hand loads at 2060 fps to 300 yard without doping and only using the 3rd circle down on the reticle. I haven't taken it beyond that but it will extend way beyond 300

I think that you'll be disappointed. It's a good scope for it's intended usage, but I don't think the maximum magnification of 18x is adequate for 1,000 yard shooting. You may want to look at the Sightron SII 24x-44AO for $580 or the 36x for $650. Those prices are from OpticsPlanet and include free shipping.
