Weaver Tactical 2-10x36mm FFP
The new Weaver 2-10x36mm FFP features a 30mm tube, illumination and exposed, locking turrets.

The scope is similar in size to the 1.5-5x24mm, but large objective bell added on. The turrets are of the exposed locking variety, that work like the Bushnell HDMR turrets. They are only available in 0.1 mil clicks.

Zeroing the turrets requires no tools, you simply unscrew the retainer cap, take off the turret cap, re-install it at your zero and screw the retainer cap back on.

Sorry for the poor pics. The reticle is basically a standard mildot with 0.5 mil hashes between the 1.0 mil dots.
MSRP is $799

I purchased the 3-15X50 model 800363, it's crap! Returned twice, when you switch the illumination, the cross hair is blurry.

Between the two, I would definitely choose the Vortex.

Intersting unit in that Vortex.
Are all of the subtensions visible fairly easily at 2.5x? Is there any loss of subtension clarity through the range of magnification?
