Exit pupil and twilight factor are computed from the published magnification and objective diameter, not measured. Real exit pupil is also capped by the erector at low magnification, and coatings and glass quality move low-light performance in ways the formula cannot see — read these as comparisons between layouts, not verdicts on scopes.

For it, on paper
- + 19.1 oz for a 3-15x42 with a locking exposed elevation turret
- + RevStop zero ring gives a hard return to zero
- + Side focus down to 20 yd
- + Illuminated HSR-5i with MOA holds that match the 1/4 MOA turret
- + 80 MOA of elevation travel
- + 3.8 in eye relief
Against it, on paper
- − Second focal plane: HSR-5i holds are only true at 15x
- − Installing the RevStop ring cuts usable elevation from 80 MOA to 27 MOA
- − 15 MOA per revolution means multiple turns for long dials
- − Windage turret is capped, so wind is held rather than dialed
