Finally had a chance to take a look at the scope, it's the brushline BDC model.
On first impression the scope feels solid, the glass seem clear, the adjustments are decently smooth and while not super clicky do feel solid and not likely to move inadvertently. I haven't gotten a chance to mount it on anything or shoot with it, so can't comment on how it will hold up.
On the con side, the magnification adjustment seems stiffer than i am used to seeing on other brands. It's already loosened up a bit after moving it back and forth a few times quickly so i assume it will smooth out as it gets used but not ideal when you need to adjust it with cold hands in gloves.
My other minor gripe is the lens covers that are on it are pretty shallow and are held over the ends with the little bungees. Once they start to give out i can see the covers flopping off pretty easily. I am used to the bushnell covers that are much deeper and fit down over the end much further and seem like they're on there much better.
The other con, which is more a gripe about cabelas than the scope itself. On the cabelas website it shows the bdc reticle as a series of dots and dashes for the BDC marks. What i got was the diamond pattern, which is what they show on the crimson trace website for the model.
I do like the BDC chart they sent though. It lists all the MOA drops that correspond to each mark and the yardage for the load it is set to. The bushnell BDC's i have used before they only give a yardage and no MOA so it's tougher to adjust to your particular load. I played around with a few loads in the hornady ballistics calculator and it seems like it will line up pretty closely with both my .308 and 7mm-08 so i'll have some decisions to make on where to mount it.
Overall i give it a thumbs up, specially at the sale price and as long as it doesn't self destruct at the range i'd buy another one if i was looking.
