It's definitely a decent optic, far better than the snobs online like to say it is. Picture was bright, crisp, clear. Adjusting zoom and focus is smooth, has resistance to it. The included throw lever is great, very nice feature. Overall it's definitely a good value, solid choice for the money. I picked this up because I wanted zoom, but also 1x, a "do it all" optic. The reticle illuminates plenty strong, I honestly wish it had an option for green though (easier for me to see at lower power). I may come back to this one, but for now I feel like the eye box is too narrow for me to keep it. I can't afford to regret my decision, whatever I buy is what I'm stuck with. I compared this Panzer side by side with the Ladon 1-6x since that has similar magnification and size, but includes a small RDS. The 1-10 Panzer is definitely a stronger scope, but is heavier and a little longer.

This sling is pretty nice, and is an interesting design that I have not used before. It's a back-up sling, and you can attach it to the stock of a rifle and it is unobtrusive when it is secured with the silicon band. The camo pattern on the model I got was also interesting and done well. The MFDQ button works well, and once clipped into the socket, the connection is very secure. The one issue that prevented this item from being a five star sling is the quality of the webbing that was used. It is strong, but the edges are prone to get frayed, as I noticed after just a short while of working with the sling. For a back-up, I guess that's fine, but for a primary, I can see this wearing out after only a season or two. Four Star Backup Sling
