[QUOTE="archanfire, post: 1908506, member: 95445"] Got it in Tuesday, and so far it's of, meh. It seems well built, very audible/tactile turrets and daytime bright illumination. My ONLY complaint, while still unable to identify the source, is the reticle 'crispness'. At 1-4 it's fine. From 4-10, I have to find that 'sweet spot' for the reticle to come in clear. It doesn't get enveloped by scope shadow, but rather seems to wash out/become blurry in lit/normal conditions. Eye relief is AWESOME, so no issues there. I have 2 other FFP LPVO's that cost less than this, one is Atibal's Mirage 1-8(bought on whim) and the other is a cheap Visionking 1-8 I bought to start playing with Mil increments. The Mirage has a 30mm tube and does not have the 'apparent eyebox issues. The Visionking has a 35mm tube, like the Atibal 1-10 I traded for and has a similar issue, but not as bad. I''ve reached out to GRSC, that uses the same scope body as the Atibal to find out if the 35mm lets in too much light to where it affects the reticle, but that was a few minutes ago. so no response yet(obviously). I contacted Atibal via email, and Jimmy asked me to call to address the concerns. He seems to think once I mount it and can get a proper cheek weld on it, it'll go away(and we'll go from there if it doesn't).
