Good quality, slim design, but lacking usable features - Swampfox Patriot 4-16x44mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane (FFP)

First impression is good, the scope design looks great, the glass is very clear. But for practical use, i immediately put it right back in the box and printed a return label.

The immediate Reason why i couldnt see myself keeping this scope, being a FFP the reticle almost disappears completely at 4x magnification, definitely not ok for hunting with. even target shooting its so incredibly small its not useable, i have good eyes but this just didnt work for me. if you plan on shooting long range only, id suggest get a 6-24x as this isnt usable in lower magnification.

Another thing i didnt like was the turrets, they dont "click" into each position as most other scopes do. They have alot of movement between clicks, they actually move back and forth a full 1/2 moa before an audible click. almsot like the design is based on the wheel of fortune, it doesnt click until youve gone passed your desired mark.

i just think theres much better options out there for this price range. with more features.
