tactical shooting at an unknown distance – in such case, a mistake in the judgment on the distance may cause one's defeat. On the other hand, reticles are always the same and do not cover small targets when using pow- erful zoom. Such reticles seem to be better for sport shooters, while snipers or expert marksmen would rather need the possibility of measuring the distance with every zoom degree – for such applications, I recommend the reticle in the first plane. I own the early version of the sight, in which all the thin beams of the MP-8 reticle are il- luminated. Under conditions of obstructed vision (e.g. at night), such illumination is too strong for me (despite the 11 settings). What is my more, the illumination in my rifle sometimes disappears and I need to strong- ly press the batteries (yeah, I know, it needs servicing). Today, I would choose the solu- tion implemented in the newer version of the reticle, MP-8 Xtreme X1 (only the central red dot is illuminated) or the one applied by the Nightforce in their MOAR-T – with the illumi- nation of a small, central reticle. The quality of the view, contrast, and sharpness are fine thanks to the usage of high-standard glass Schott and anti-reflexive coating. The sight might compete with much more expensive scopes (it has been empirically checked). I also have no negative comments on the re- peatability of settings and adjustments. Over the last several years, I have put about 600–650 rounds though the barrel of my TRG 22. I only use the standard Lapua am- munition with the 175gr Scenar-L round. Most often, I shoot from the prone or sit- ting position, with the front part of the stock www.fragoutmag.com
