[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1821698, member: 105"] I never did actually figure that out but I'm pretty sure that even at 10 power it wasn't. I took it to the range once and when I wanted to shoot at 25 yards I already knew I was in trouble. I managed to get it sighted in at 100 then 200 and was happy with clarity and shot some at 300 but when I tried to go back to reasonable hunting power for short to medium hunting ranges I simply couldn't see the reticle so I traded it for another ATACR and never looked back. When I'm paying that much for a scope I won't put up with something so simple as not being able to see the reticle at low power where it will be used most of the time. Over on The Hide a lot of people like them though so go figure. To each his own. I believe it was made to satisfy the PRS and F Class guys IIRC. By the way.... Although I'd rather have a Nightforce than a Leupold I will say that the Leupold VX-5HD 7-35x56mm CDS-TZL3 part number 172754 is hard to beat especially for the street price of $1500 but the 7 power as the lower magnification is not conducive to stalking or that surprise close up shot.
