Although I wouldn't want the windage and elevation knobs to be too loose on my scope, the knobs on this scope seem like they need extra effort to unlock and operate. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. The zoom knob felt tight as well, but being a brand new scope, the parts might loosen up to my liking. I would also like to see another version with MIL dots (if that's possible with variable magnification scopes). All-in-all, this is a very good rifle scope for the price. The zoom, parallax adjustment, and general feel are better than expected, given the cost.
Pros: The zoom works great when firing at different ranges in one shoot.
Cons: The knobs seem to be hard to pull out and push back in and some of the adjustments seem tight.
