For the price this one will ABSOLUTELY positively blow it out of the water and also scopes costing up to $650.00 to $1000.00 believe it or not. Search for a working discount coupon like a 15% off. Thank me later you WILL be BLOWN AWAY. I just compared it to a $1200.00 JAPAN SCOPE and BOY OH BOY!!!
I have one and they work pretty ok and the turrets do track reliably but the clicks sound "mushy"
Plus the adjustments on the turrets are in 1/8th "
I do own a bunch of Discovery scopes too you know... I was a huge fan until I took ONE LOOK through MY FIRST ALPHA6.
That Vector Everest 3-18x50 has a BDC reticle, meaning that the distances between the hash lines are not evenly spaced out, but calibrated according to the bullet trajectory of a common rifle cartridge.
➔
I wonder which pellet from which gun with which caliber will follow that trajectory that Vector calibrated that scope for.....
➔ Right. The answer is: None.
So, if your ballistic calculator tells you that for your 28 yard shot you need to hold over 1.3 mil (or 4.4 moa) — where do you put the bulls on the reticle...?
➔ Right, we don't know, since the elevation hash lines of this reticle are not in mil nor moa, and even if they were they are they evenly spaced out for holdovers. The reticle lines are whatever Vector decided that particlar rifle cartidge needed (most likely for ranges at 100y, 200y, and 300y...).
Sorry, it's the truth and nothing but the truth. And I don't like it. Because that reticle does look nice!

Yeah, I'm not sure what to make of this.
Both the webpage you linked and the Vector home page say at one point MPT2R reticle, and then they say MPX reticle.....
And the reticle diagram below shows moa, but it is strangely silent about how far the elevation hash lines are apart — supposedly the ones we use most often....
And those elevation lines are not evenly spaced....
Just saying what I see. Not trying to tell anybody what they should like or do.

does anyone have one or have any info? Seems fairly cheap for a ffp scope, but I’ve heard good things about other scopes they have.
