Not up to steiner reputation - Steiner M536 Prism 5x36mm Rifle Scope

Great specs. Wanted to love it. But pictured scope has outdated/inferior QD that is almost impossible to remove by hand. Also, either the reticle isn't square to the lens orientation, or the top rail isn't level. Initially thought it was the top rail but another user suggested his reticle was off so it may be the reticle. Mfr has acknowledged the mount issue and changed suppliers. New versions will use upgraded QD mount. Did not resolve the out-of-level issue. Returned scope. But mfr has a great reputation, and was top notch in responding, so I may repurchase once satisfied issues are resolved.
