Clarity is fairly good although you lose it with magnification. I wish the Nemesis would be available with an HD tube, but it doesn't and this was a good value. All NV scopes are bulky, but this was the least ungainly of the ones I looked at. I like that you can dim the reticle. I don't think you can on the Mars and that big, bright red crosshair would be annoying. My only complaint is the on/off switch. Mine doesn't work well either direction, but not bad enough to send back. Even if it did work good, it couldn't be turned off or on with gloves on. I would recommend putting the IR on the scope with a riser. I would get a glare off the barrel when mounted on fore-grip. I sighted it in with a tea light. Never heard of anyone doing it, but it seemed to work good. Overall happy with it and couldn't think of one I would rather have for the money. I looked all around for the best price and OP had it. They even gave me money back because they ran a 11% storewide the day after I bought it...I asked for it and they gave it. Thank you OP
Pros: adjustable reticle, compact...sort of, price
Cons: on/off switch
