Anyone know anything about this scope? I really haven't found out much about it in my searching and actually trust what people say on here more than random internet sites.

As with any less expensove model equipped with a zoom the filds of view is narrow. Also, just because it is ED doesn't mean it is head and shoulders above others in the price range. According to some tests the resolution could be better, especially at the price they expect by upgrading to ED. What do you get? Less false color, but you still have a $200 scope underneath.

It's actually almost a $500 scope. Are you saying it isn't worth that price?

My advice go for the non ed , cheaper and in visual you will not see the difference,Marc.
