Great shooting ex. Do you have any side pics of the 355 with Nikon Bolt setup? I am thinking about the same combo. Love to see some more pics. Thanks

Two features I like are 1/4 per click at 20 yards makes very easy to sight in. And reset on the turret , If you sight in with say 350 grain arrows zero it . Then sight in with a 500 grain arrow just go back to zero when you go back to the 350's .It's pretty much spot on.

The scope looks good and seems to fit the matrix perfect.

Looks good Dan! What kind of rings you got there, did they come with the scope? They look nice and solid, looks like sweet setup.

I think I looked at one of these scopes at the hunting show today, man is that thing nice and small plus the guy said you can go to the Nikon website and get ranging data if your shooting more or less than 305fps.

Pretty nice for under $200, but I did find the BDC dots a little to fine for my eyesight in low light conditions.

I'm overall satisfied with the scope thus far, we'll see how spot on their spot on is! :lol:

They are easy to see . If it's light enough for a good shot you will be able to see them.
