So far so good 
I got the scope zeroed and put about 150 rounds downrange this morning.Here are some of my better groups with it, Atlas bipod with no rear bag;
Best 50 yard group with SOC's 77 gr reloads.
Best 50 yard group with 77 gr. Black Hills.
100 yards with BH.
100 yards with SOC's load.
200 yards, 10 rounds of SOC's clone load on steel, about a 12-14 inch painted target and no messing around, just get'em downrange.
I learned a few things this morning, I like the scope, I need a good trigger, and I need to lay off the coffee on range days!
I'm looking forward to getting home and trying some action shots on a couple rolling tires to see how fast I can acquire targets with the illuminated reticle. The eye box is not near as forgiving as an eotech but the reticle is very similar in appearance.

Had a blast with the at the range this morning, set up several targets from 25 yards out to 200 and practiced moving as fast as I could from one to another, worked great, hit after hit, only a couple misses at the 200 yard steel and they were within a few inches.
Gave the scope and gun a real world abuse test after the range, had a guy turn in front of while I was doing about 40 mph so the rifle flew out of the back and whacked the back of my seat pretty good. I didn't get to look at it yet as they strapped me down to gurney and hauled me off, wish I would have gotten a hard case now
The officer on the scene was good enough to secure all the guns and ammo but by the time they released me fro the hospital he was gone, hope I can pick them up tomorrow, then if there's no obvious damage I'll see if it held zero next Sunday, if I can get a new car before then. I'm not sure how to deal with the insurance company if there is damage to any of the guns,
wonder if they have a "blue book" value for them or if I need receipts
I'll report back on how well the scope handled the abuse, better than me I hope,
those air bags are like getting kicked by a mule!

Yep, one second your enjoying the smell of burnt powder, next thing you know your smelling the stink of an airbag! 
I have enough pain meds and muscle relaxers stocked up to get me through the rough patch, don't have to worry about driving on them either! Luckily we have an intern working for this next week so he can drive me at work.
You're dead on about injuries taking a day or two before they show up, 22 years ago to the month I had a boom truck turn in front of me and whacked him at 70 mph. I thought I was fine so the ambulance ride was refused. Woke up the next day and couldn't move my neck at all, turns out I had broke it. I cooperated with the EMT's a little better on this one, when they rattled off the list of injured discs there weren't any new ones on the list so I'm hoping for just a regular bad day tomorrow.........
I'm anxious to see how the scope handled the blow, guess the mount could have been tweaked as well. I hope I'll have transportation to the range so I can try and repeat today's performance, I'm really liking this scope
