Anyone use this line of scopes? I heard they fixed the tracking problem. Thoughts on this model. Kicking around the idea of getting the 5-25×56 Thanks in advance.

I have 2 of the 3-15s, zero issues, I love them.. Also have a 5-25 Military and a 1-5 T5
They definitely had some issues but I haven't had any and I have sold quote a few with no problems.

They are the bees knees imo.

Doug at Camera land gave me a smokin deal on the GDI 34mm mount (one Piece)...it was his last one left and he wanted it gone...I couldn’t pass it up since they cost $550...lets say i got it less....much much less. I was going to purchase a Spur one piece. I wanted a QD mount to change out if i enjoy shooting this scope which the 2018’s aren’t in yet...still waiting for the Germans to send over.

American Rifle Co M10 rings are what I run on my big body scopes. Best rings made, IMO. They are pricey, but well worth it.

I had it out yesterday set it up on my rifle, got it sighted in... Very impressed with the glass....No blurriness on edges at all on highest power...extremely clear. I had a few holes touching at 100yds, so pretty good in the wind. This is my First FFP scope of this quality...I’m no expert...but it is more clear then my SHV that i hav on my main deer rifle. Certainly heavier. Doug at CameraLand gave me a good deal on the scope...i recommend them for sure.

Oh and i almost forgot, i looked through the manual and everything that comes in the box, there is nothing that says what to torque the scope down to in the rings...so i called Steiner and they told me 20-25lbs... Just in case anyone needs to know. They said once you go past 25lbs you could possibly damag the main tube and they get a lot of scopes back for that... So i set the Fat wrench at 20...Snug as a bug!
