This is the second part of my post about the Valdada 40X45 BR scope.
Not being experienced in writing product endorsements I forgot to mention some things that may be of interest to shooters.
For one thing I didn't write this to endorse the product but to inform other shooters of a scope that isn't often seen in RFBR.
I'm not trying to say this, or any scope is better than another or that anyone should switch from what they are using now. I just want everyone to know there are options.
The tracking I didn't mention in my first post, and I should have. Shooting at the same distances 50 yards and 50 meters RFBR shooters aren't too concerned with this but maybe we should be.
I tested the Valdada and if I did it right it worked great.
What I did was shoot a round then dial the scope up 20 clicks, shoot another round and dial the scope 20 clicks to the right then shoot another round and dial the scope down 20 clicks shoot another round then dial the scope 20 clicks to the left.
At this point I was hoping to be back to where I started. Low and behold I was, the last shot hit the first hole. This may or may not be the best way to test tracking, but it impressed me.
Another thing I didn't mention was the brightness and clarity of the Valdada. I did mention that my Night Force was perhaps too bright under certain conditions and the Kahles seemed to be better for my eyes to prevent eye fatigue.
I believe the Valdada is every bit as clear as the Kahles and maybe a little better but not as bright as the Night Force. For me that is a good thing.
With all this said the very best part of the Valdada other than its rock-solid build quality is the feel of the clicks in the turrets. Dialing those turrets feels like you are dialing a bank vault safe. They are miles better than any others I know of. Add this to the tracking and you have a high quality RFBR scope at less cost the Night Force or Kahles. As I said before another option for RFBR shooters.
