I really like this scope. The glass is very bright, clear, and does not wash out easily. The picture is slightly better than my Nikon M223 4-12x x 42 that is based on monarch glass.The reticle is etched on the glass (durable) and is very thin. The illumination works well in low light conditions. Being AO adjustable down to 10 yards, makes it really versatile. My only complaint would be the turrets. They are a bit soft for my liking.
Pros: clear glass, very versatile.
Cons: somewhat "mushy" turrets
