I got this scope from Santa, courtesy of a Eurooptic.com
Eric sold me this scope and accommodated my anal petty BS requests.
Fantastic service. This is my second Zeiss scope from them and will definitely buy again.
I mounted it on my TRG22 and went to sight it in this morning. I printed out the Finnaccuracy resolution chart but the calibration scale came out smaller, about 9.5 cm. The test took place at 0730 in the harsh morning light. It was cold so there was no mirage. My Henny perfectly resolved the #10 line on the B/W chart. But I think that better eyes would say it can resolve #11. My vision would change from clear to slightly blurry with each beat of my heart. So I could see #11 inbetween heartbeats, but not continuously. I was wearing brand new prescription glasses, btw.
I dialed in the elevation adjustment from the old Zeiss and fired a shot using a pulled 150 FMJ I found at the range previously. I loaded it over 45grs of Varget to an OAL of 2.750". It impacted 2 mils left. So I moved it 1.5 mils and fired the second shot which consisted of a pulled 165 Trophy Bonded over 44grs of Varget. That one impacted exactly 1.5 mils from POI. So I added another half a mil and fired my third shot, a pulled 168 HPBT I found on the ground using the same load. That one impacted right over the dot I was aiming at. Why all this stupid minutiae? Cuz I think it is interesting that three different random loads are able to impact so close to one another. That's all it took, 3 random shots.
That NH1 reticle is real nice. You can use the tip of the vertical crosshair to aim at the base of a small dot.
So I shot some groups. This is the 10-shot one:
I did not do a ladder test. I did not throw the scope down range. I did not drop the rifle off a building. So I can't say it is better than something else. But it worked today and I'm very happy. No buyers remorse at all.
Here are some rocks 100 yards out:
