Great value FFP scope
This scope is a great value, aside from good glass and consistent turret tracking with both audible and tactile clicks you're getting: *FFP reticle (with mil reticle you can range targets at any mag range) *Adjustable Parallax from as close as 6m up to infinity *Matching MIL/MIL reticle and turrets *Good glass (Japanese glass, not HD but still very nice) *3-15x magnification range is versatile for shooting close or far *30mm Tube and HUGE RANGE of adjustment (36 mils) so likely wont need a 20MOA or other canted base *Integrated knob/lever on magnification ring so no need for throw lever Although the scope doesn't have illumination or a zero stop you can solve the latter buy purchasing a kit for $22 (search YouTube or SnipersHide forum and you'll find them) and it certainly works as I've installed a set on mine. I dont need illumination for what I'm doing and for the price point i'm already getting great value. I highly recommend this scope.

A good match for my rifle
I use the SS 3-15x42 on my Aero Precision M5 (.308 20"). A very nice scope for that rifle.

Awesome Scope
I use my SS 3-15x42 MQDM2 scope on my Vanguard 6.5 creedmoor rifle for high power silhouette competition. I am constantly changing the elevation and windage to shoot at the different distances of 200, 300, 385 and 500m. The repeatability of the turrets is excellent and so is the optical clarity of the scope. This is an awesome scope for the price.

Excellent!
This is a second hand piece of glass to me. My friend had purchased this and wanted to push more magnification (as of now, so do I) so he ended up with the Burris XTR II. I purchased this used from him for $400 and I have nothing but positive reviews. The tracking on this is fantastic. Countless amounts of times dialing out to 750- 1000 meters and it has no problem tracking back to its zero. Overall amazing quality glass.

3-15x-42 MQ-DM
I love this reticle! Right now, I have it mounted on my 6.5 Grendel, which is primarily my target/predator rig. The center diamond is a great "boom box" for most usable ranges. I only wish they offered it in a first focal place configuration. I had some issues with the eye relief early on. I started over by redoing the mount and scope. Now, I am getting the performance I was expecting.

using with Savage 22 inch heavy barrel 308
Fantastic scope. I have it on my Savage 308 using 168gr Hornady Match bullets. In 98 degree temp at 2.7 mils shot one inch high 1/2 inch right of bulls-eye at 500 yards on sand bags. out of three shots two were within one and 1/4 inch one to one 1/2 inch low two and 1/2 inch left. The third shot 1/2 inch left six inch low. the glass is clear at this range, turrets very positive clicks. rifle zeroed at 200 yards Great combination. Savage Axis for $299.00, and this scope made it a real shooter. all at 500 yards.

great scope
I absolutely love this scope. I mostly shoot out to 200 yards in my clubs benchrest league, so nothing very far. The scope is accurate, tracks, and holds zero great and is very clear. The small target dot paired with second focal plane makes this scope perfect for anyone target shooting.

VERY good for the $$
I purchased this scope for a 6.5 Creedmoor Ruger American Predator and it is perfect for longer-range western hunting. A medium weight/medium length scope that gives you very good glass for the money. In addition, you get first focal plane, mil reticle/mil turrets, and side focus. No other scope of this build quality gives you all that for $700. It is an extremely rugged scope. One reviewer said you could "frame a house with it". Well, maybe it is not that rugged. As mentioned in another review, it does not have zero stops, but a shim kit is available to create a stop at your zero. The shim kit is worth the $22.
