Fail.I tried Bushnell brands and shook the glass out of them.I was given a Nikon 3-9 x40 as a gift and WOW that glass was awesome.I then began stepping up my game to Nikon scopes 3-9 and 2.5-10 and 4-12 Nikons and found out for longer range shooting or very close in shooting Parallax was killing my groups.I need a scope with adjustable Parallax  if I want tiny groups.I tried a few and the best one was my Old Centerpoint 4-16x40.It just hangs in there year after year on my 30-06.Glass is not as clear as it needs to be but I shot smaller groups with it than the 4-12 Nikon.Smaller reticle and adjustable Objective (Parallax).I have taken many of my guns out to shoot side by side at 500 yards at paper and a couple times the .243 Axis rifle  has out shot the .308 Model 10 savage heavy barrel and the .243 has a 3-9x50 Tasco.If you can hold even glass that is a bit lacking will still shoot well if it will hold zero.That scope I mentioned in post #2 though is just awesome and I do not want to buy any other scopes and have a mind to sell my Nikons and Crossfires.But the Center Point on my 30-06 will stay put as it has served me very well.For many years all I had was a 30-30 with a Redfield Widefield fixed 4 power scope and it served me well out to 250 yards.Clear glass makes up for extra power.</blockquote>
