I know they’re a budget scope , but boy I’m impressed with ELP4 6-24x50. I slapped one of these on my 375 Wby to see how long it’ll last.
First this sucker is clear from edge to edge. The turrets have a very positive clicks. At 50mm this should make a fine hunting scope , not like a big heavy 56mm you see out there.
One draw back is the eye box is a little small nothing major just noticeable at higher powers.

A positive report.

It's the little things that can make ya or break ya.
They missed the boat.

I was pretty happy how this one started out. In the back of my mind it’s a sub $400 scope , and it lived up to that at the end. It held zero and would dial correctly , but as time went on the side focus started needing adjusting to keep clarity. Then black spots started appearing then it went down hill fast.
My replacement doesn’t have the out of box clarity as the original. Not sure where this one is going on yet.

Might be best to sell it as a new never mounted scope.

Not a bad idea
