No veracity burris , scopes in stock ..Oh i hear Nikon is stopping production of scopes .. or at least cabelas isn't carrying them anymore .(Watchout).. I told them so , i m like you guys don't carry one thing i need and im not really that picky !! Oh as for the scope it has alot of nice features but so much of Cabelas scopes etc are not up to suff , i Couldnt pull the trigger on one) it was like 799.00 (cx pro ) and for that price id go with Vortex.....or Burris... but on those i have other issues, burris they didnt take Advantage of their 34 mm tube. The moa adjustment on windage was a joke at like correct me if i'm wrong ) 15 moa Total , I was Short on right adj ...i Shimmed the ring with a pissy assed .016 steel shim, i thought it was .010.. i totally moved the scope the opposite way exactly the same short way.. Lol... i When back in with .008 on the rear and bingo.... Equal agjust on both sides... but you mean .008 of Plum and i dont have enough travel on a 34mm tube to sight it in properly ??? Im getting real frustrated i have a 1100.00 sightron III 10x40x60 that had been sent in for repair .. no nothing came back with it ...no paper work.. bounced around sighting it in.. felt like it wasn't tracking properly !! Shot a dime group with the 30-378 @ 100.. used the turrets for dial up on 600 yard deer a few times... did it work when needed NO.. windage changed enough to miss anothers wounded deer ! Took it back to range , missed 9" plate at 100 .. 1st shot , 2nd back in at 2 inches Left . Wouldnt repeat after that.. i dont think i even want another one.. milky glass, 30 to 40 power useless ! Oh had a 10 by 40 osprey that tracked wonderfully for my dad walked it right in to a bullseye.. $400 scope , ( i hear Hawyke brand .. UK is Great ) nice Turrets ??? Mixed reviews,on first versions . I think i got the second ? but on my scope i had a duplicate ( Dads).. My Gun smith .WOW , Must have broken the elevation turret off LOL not funny.... bore sighted it then broke it ! Cuz i wanted it Gnats ass close. Tried to turn the turret ( it wouldn't move.. .. i say Huh !!! The bingo it moved into my Hand .
