Internal reflections - Leupold LCO Blacked Out Red Dot Sight, 1 MOA

I like the size and design of this Leupold red dot sight, but ultimately it’s how well the device functions that matters. In that respect I am disappointed. The Leopold LCO has 16 intensity settings accessible through a rotary dial. Beginning at the number eight setting internal reflections from the LED emitter begin to appear on the screen. By setting number 10 or 11 a fully formed extraneous red square appears around the red dot approximately halfway between the center and the perimeter of the view screen. Even my $40 NCStar red dot sight performs better than this. I’ve been a life long Leopold customer, but this red dot sight is so bad I’ve taken it off my rifle and put it back in the box. When I call Leopold about this I hope they have a good explanation.
