The windage dial is capped with silky smooth threads marked 6 mRad (60 clicks) left and right of centre. There is a locking lever on the front left of the turret, and an opposing green/red window on the rear right to show you if dialling is enabled, with 14.5 mRad (145 clicks) extra elevation in a single turn. I get a little gushy because the mechanical feel of the clicks is magnificent: fast movement, firm detents, no mush and minimal chance of overrun, with visual hash marks being perfectly aligned to all detents. The elevation turret, which is 40mm in diameter and stands 27mm tall, offers hand-filling rather than fingertip grip. This scope has a CCW rotating mRad turret with 1cm 100m (0.1 mRad) clicks. The saddle’s left side shows a large parallax dial for precisely sharpening your image from 25m to infinity. The illumination was particularly appreciated through daylight hours in broken cover and provided a fine reticle for precise aiming. The D7 reticle shows an illuminating centre dot in the second focal plane. 223 Wylde rifle to make use of the dialling capabilities for both long-range target and vermin control. The 50mm objective and short 430mm overall length make for a compact package. The tube is a 34mm unit and is available in rail format or on conventional rings. The Exos is intended to be a long-range hunting scope, prioritising mechanics ahead of ultimate light transmission, in this case over 90%. S&B’s approach might be criticised as a little more bulky but given the hard technical edge the company have always applied to their optics, I love their no-compromise approach, function over form being the order of the day! It only takes a minor slip to alter other elements dramatically. I am always wary of turret designs that need too much stripping and component removal before repositioning, especially when the locking cap can allow multiple elements to slacken off.
