Have the Sidewinder on a semi auto 223, bolt 223, and two 308s. Never any issues, holds zero, tracks perfectly.

Great scope for the money.

Only drawback is glass quality. Dont expect Zeiss clarity. It's price reflects this. You'll see perfectly fine and the quality out to say 500 yards is grand. Go longer ranges, say 700+, and you'll find a milky effect. As my shooting is nearly all under 300 yards and only one rifle is used out to 600 i have no such issues.
