Impressive. - Simmons AETEC 4-14x44 SF Rifle Scope w/ Mil-Dot Reticle

Overall, an excellent scope and a great value. Decent eye relief and FOV, and a clear picture. Some may feel that the illuminated reticle is a bit gimmicky, but it truly is useful in the failing light. Brightness control is in a bad place if you were planning on putting this on an AR-15 type rifle (somewhat obstructs the charging handle) but not a dealbreaker. This is the first non-Leupold scope I've ever purchased, and I'm favorably impressed. I don't feel that it is better, but it certainly holds its own for half the price.
Pros: The right features
Cons: None so far.
