Element Optics Helix 6-24x50 FFP

[LateStarter]

Evening,
Looking at buying the above for use on a 17hmr I’m picking up soon.
Hoping to borrow some of the knowledge on the forum here.
Any good/ bad reviews for it? Seems to be well regarded on what Ive read so far at the price point its at.
Any better suggestions at the same money? Its currently on offer new for £320 which seems a good deal.
Thanks

No idea if they’re any good, but there’s one for sale on another forum for £240

I had one on my Tikka T1x. Fantastic scope for the money. Only removed it to change to NV. Wouldn’t hesitate to have another.

I don't have the FFP I have SFP as I prefer them. mine are the MOA versions.

I got one brand new because it looked good in the shop and a good price point, fitted it to my .270 and love it so much I went and got another for my .223.

Using a ballistics app on your phone and put in the time and knowing all what you need to use that from your chosen rifle/rifles dial away and hit what you point at, absolutely wonderful scopes for the money, they track perfectly, glass is crystal clear.

Only down side from my experience is the side parallax is a little lacking for long long range adjustment. But for a hmr not target shooting at over 600 yards you wont even find that out like I did.

Overall. a very good scvope for the money.
