UPS Claus came this afternoon. Initial impressions:
- Glass is fantastic for a sub-$1000 scope.
- reticle isn’t thin, definitely designed for hunting. I’m thrilled, because I intend to hunt with it. By comparison, NF MOAR tends to get lost in the trees for me because it’s too thin. Center dot is just the right size.
- Clicks feel very similar to NF SHV. They’re solid and definitely land on the hash without much sponge in between. Clicks are muted instead of crisp like a spark.
- Elevation turret is solid but not built like a rock. It has a little flex. This is a hunting scope, not a combat unit. Definitely better than Leupold’s CDS-ZL2 on their VX-5/6HD.
- Very forgiving eye box.
- Lots of main tube “real estate” for mounting.
- For a 3-15x, it’s a relatively compact unit. Yes, it’s long, but the ocular bell housing is much shorter than other comparable scopes so it doesn’t look out of place on an ultralight rifle.
For reference, mounted on my Barrett Fieldcraft short action with 22” #2 contour barrel. Talley low rings.

what is your total weight? I’m thinking of putting one on my 6.5 fieldcraft.
