I have the PM 1340 with the DRO. Have been very pleased with it.
Instructions that came with it are vague at best. Assembly is like
putting a jigsaw puzzle without know what the picture should look
like. Needs a lot of TLC in setting up but once done it operates very
well. I do have to say that several emails to the dealer concerning
assembly questions have gone un-answered.
