Longhair;
I did an evaluation on the Shepherd at the request of a friend. The only thing I would put this scope on is a hunting rifle that I used on deer sized game out to 300 yards and then probably only if I could get it at an extreamly low cost.
In no way is it a "presision" scope!
1 - One shot zero. - Haaa. ANY SCOPE can be zeroed in one shot. That is IF you trust zeroing a scope with one shot.
2 - Ranging Multipule Aiming Points - LMAO. Yeah... if you game fits one of the circles and it is standing at a range that is evenly divided by 100.
3 - The one shot zero claim is achieved by having two seperate stanza wires. This adds additional parellex. To get a "precise" shot you have to line up your target with the stanzas then INSURE your stanzas are also correctly alligned. HEY... if I wanted to line up three things I'd use open sights!
4 - Sight picture - Kind of reminds me of a H. Bosh painting. There is SOOOOOO much happening in there what with the numerous stanza wires, circles, cross hairs in the circles it boggles the mind (at least this simple Marine's).
I "think" I still have the write up somewhere I did on the scope. I'll look for it this weekend and if I can find it I'll e-mail it to ya.
Bottom line in my humble opinion - HYPE!

Go Gunny! I wish I could figure out where my post about my friend who "one shot sighted" his Shepard to death was.
