You can get them fro a hair over $1000 if youll call optics planet and talk to them over the phone instead of ordering it directly online. It lists for $1250


The ER of 2.8-3.1 always concerned me a little on that scope. Have you notice any difference with the ER from any of your other scopes? I suppose it would be fine but I might be concerned on a heavy recoiling caliber shooting prone.

It’s not much of a concern of mine because it’s sitting on a HMR 6.5. I haven’t noticed the eye relief being different enough from my other scopes for me to be concerned about it. As far as for the heavy recoiling rifles I don’t know as I see no need for them for the shooting and hunting I do. I don’t hunt anything that a 300 could kill any deader than a 7-08. Actually the only magnum rifle I shoot is a 257wby
