I had this as my first riflescope, and it was a great scope. If I was just looking for hunting and not trying to shoot matches I would've had this scope for years.
I sold that scope and got a Falcon 4-14x FFP. It's been rock solid, and still performing like the day I got it. I don't imagine I'll have problems with it anytime to come, and it's still got a couple of years left on the warranty.
Now that the Vortex PST FFP's are starting to trickle out though I'll probably be upgrading to one of those and selling the Falcon. Not because the Falcon doesn't work, but because I've saved some money to upgrade and eventually I'd like something much nicer.
Of course a few years from now the Vortex will be making room for a NF F1, and then later on probably an S&B, but that's to far in the future to worry about.
For now for my money the Falcon has been an awesome scope.I don't hesitate to recommend them for that reason.
