I've only handled one, but the glass was very clear. I don't know how well it will hold up to recoil though. I would figure it's as good or better than most in it's price range

I have a 4-12x50 on a bull barrel AR. The crosshair seems to drift around in about an inch and a half circle at 100 yds when you move your head around when looking thru it. My Conquests and Diavari and Leupolds don't do that.

I've got three of them and I've been very happy with the terras. All of the guns that I actually hunt with have them on there. They will get you past legal shooting light.
Marks has a 4-12x50 for 259 right now
We will burn that bridge when we get there

My Conquests and Diavari and Leupolds don't do that. If the parallax is only 1/2” @ 100, and onlydoes it when you move your head around, put your cheek back on the stock and count yourself lucky.

One inch and a half circle = too much for a target rifle

Missed the ‘one’ and didn’t know you were using a Terra with no AO for a ‘target’ scope. Still, a good cheek weld and it’ll probably never matter, and most will never know anyway. If you’re merely concerned that the parallax is set beyond 100 or just bad at 100, I’d agree. If you’re saying that parallax in and of itself is a defect, then I’m not sure. Often, the ocular and focusing the crosshairs will eliminate parallax. I’d be irked, too, but it probably wouldn’t matter on a hunting rifle, and I’d look for an AO scope for target specific uses. JMO.....and not defending the Terra line, just not sure if what you describe is a defect, since external/user factors can influence that.

I agree I need an AO scope but it seems to move more than other non AO scopes I have for some reason.
