The latest Huskemaw 2-12x44 is a wonderful scope that is well built and is very well suited for the western hunter who desires shots between 100 and 700 yards. The reticle is sharp and the 30 mm tube optic gives excellent light transmission in the early morning hours and late into the evening shooting conditions. The power/magnification ring is greatly improved with an accessory power lever. A scope level insures the gun is held level during the shot and should be purchased as an accessory item. The objective bell needs a protective flip up cover in 44mm. I will be purchasing more of these scopes as the Huskemaw representatives are friendly and very knowledgeable of their products.
