I just received one of these scopes yesterday which I installed on my Bobcat Mk2 .22, and I'm very impressed. Very clear glass even at 40X magnification, fit and finish are perfect and the way the target turrets click is much nicer than the Hawkes. It doesn't have an illuminated reticle but at just $315.00 new, I can live without that feature which I have yet to use on any of my Hawke scopes. Also has flip up lens covers which I really prefer better than the screw on covers that come with Hawkes. My Aeon came with a sunshade which isn't mentioned in the description.

We have a 10-40x56 Trajectory reticule ( with a 5" 3d printed) and find it outstanding, the factory sidewheel isn't too good but with glass that should cost $700+ "I" have no problem adding another $50.00 for a good sidewheel.
I would recommend this scope for anyone who needs excellent range finding and good clicks that repeat everytime.
Nice to see the newest batch is still the same.
For anyone who shoots LONG range the 32x has 75 MOA adjustment and the 24x has a wopping 100 MOA.

John--I will sir. But it'll be going on top of my MR Picuda 22 and/or my Kidd-barreled Ruger Charger for prairie dogs I shoot a lot out here near Pueblo, CO. I will let you all know how it functions though and the reticle subtensions as well, which may help the airgun hunters some. I do have the Signature airgun rings on top of my P-Rod that that scope may be fun to play with on. According to Chairgun I could reference 175ish yds. with it. Might be fun to see what a lonely pellet might do way out that far. HA!

Just got the 3-12X in and it looks great at 1st check. Big, heavy scope, probably the same design as my old Weaver Kaspa. I sent it to the PI several years ago, so I can't remember exactly. Parallax wheel has some sort of ever so slight bumpiness feel to it as it's turned, but matches my laser well as far as I can see. Typical Chinese tgt. turret, which really ain't too bad as far as I can see.

Turret is advertised correct at ~110 total travel.

Now the reticle measures out to be 1.8 SMOA (.5 mil) in the repeating part of the grid (horizontal axis and upper and part of lower axis to the #1 stadia of the ballistic "trajectory" reticle part).

X-#1 = 12.6 SMOA
X-#2 = 25.2 "
X-#3 = 40 "

Horizontal subtensions (windage)=
#1 = 2.65 SMOA
#2 = 3.0 "
#3 = 3.7 "

Lowest stadia (#3) is a bit out of focus the same as any other long tree reticle would be at the edge of the FOV, forcing your eye relief/angle to be critical to see the #3 stadia well when the rest of the reticle is in focus.

Should net 150...ish MOA compensation (@12X) with the Burris Sig. Zee rings, shimmed if necessary.

1st impression is that I love it...so far.

Edit--horizontal revolution indicator lines on turret shaft are marked backwards, but that's workable I guess? Windage turret is marked at 15 SMOA all around instead of having it's own turret style at 7.5 each way--also workable...

Edited to correct wrong math calcs above...sorry.

Stuck it on mt Ruger Charger in shimmed 30mm Burris Sig. Zee rings and attached a Bushnell Grid Boresighter to the barrel. Established the 50-yd. zero along the BGB reticle and after running 90 MOA up, the turret came right back to the exact same 50-yd. spot on the boresighter reticle it started at. Very consistent clicks on this one.
