This is a 'heads up' post on the owner experience using this scope. I wouldn't have posted this on just my singular experience but I have now seen two examples that have the same flaw. First, I want to say that I love the stats on this scope. This scope covered all my bases for small, light, reticle, everything. It is a perfectly usable scope in good lighting, although I did find it very finicky to focus the reticle for some reason. The main problem is with the illumination. Now, at this point in my life, I have looked at a lot of illuminated reticles, and this was the first one, that I looked at, that the turned on and lighted reticle will actually "smear" (for lack of a better word) if you are not perfectly, and I mean perfectly, centered behind it. It's the weirdest damn thing! This isn't because the parallax wasn't set properly either. This is something different about the optical system in this scope. The other owner confirmed that he saw it too, so it wasn't a problem with my vision either. If you are never going to use the illuminated reticle this won't be an issue and there are not many scopes at this size and power, so you still might want to consider it, but if illumination matters to you, I would suggest skipping it. I am going to keep it, it still works fine for daytime shooting, I just thought people should be made aware of the issue.
