The vector 10-40x56 sniper scope (moa/moa)

I got this scope as a package deal on my first sniper rifle. It is in the $400 price range, and is not a quality brand (no sugar coating here) mine came with flip caps and a six inch sunshade.

THE GOOD:

With 40x of zoom you never needed a spotting scope.

It passed the “shoot the square test” on multiple occasions.

It held zero through the 500 or so .308 rounds I shot with it.

It was great for shooting 100 yard groups (you could see every heart beat through the scope)

the parallax adjustment was great and easily tuned.

THE BAD:

The glass was crap and got down right horrific the farther you zoomed in.

It was HUGE!

Working the bolt was difficult because the scope was in the way.

I don’t like moa scopes, mil dots are easier to range with, and make more sense to me.

It didn’t have enough travel to get me past 750 yards. Then gun was good for tons more but the drop was insufficient. I could have compensated with a 20moa mount or rail but never got around to it.

Who needs a 6 inch sun shade, three inch would have been plenty.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

As a intro to sniping scope it did everything I needed it to do and for load development the magnification was very useful but in the scheme of things it was way more scope than anyone would even need. And with how blurry it got and how bad it sucked any time before or after noon, or when it was cloudy I would never recommend this scope to anyone.
