Side focus, illuminated Reticle.
Never seen one in person.

That scope is solid. Quality construction. Crisp accurate turrets. Vivid glass. Butter smooth Side focus. The only thing about it that I did not like was the "boring" mil dot reticle. No half dots or holdover windage "floating" aim points. If you like a standard mil dot, you would have no complaints.

You out can see the scope and reticle in the video I made rapid firing on flying pigeons a few years ago. (Spoiler: I got one - and it was a lucky shot )

I just put one on my 30 bobcat. So far i like it. With it was more than 18x. Good for the money.

Thanks @Ted. I see what you mean about the reticle. It would be an inbetween scope for me as I dont get my Hawke Sidewinder til the end of July.
What magnification is set for "true mil dot"? Will be ranging targets with the scope.

Or just make up your own system, ie using your own practical target size and distances as per your own circumstances. Mark your scope appropriately.

Such as (for a 2nd focal plane scope) 1 mil at 9x = 1 inch at 25 yards, or at 18x a mil = 2 inches at 100 yards or 1 inch at 50 yards or 1/2 inch at 25 yards.

When faced with a situation where quick shooting is critical, a simple reticle is beneficial because your brain can process the information quicker.

Roger that. 10x.

Will it survive a powder burner?
