Prepare for disappointment - Trijicon AccuPower 4-16x50 Rifle Scope

At base magnification the clarity is perfect and on par with any other scope in and above this price range. The illuminated reticle is definitely daytime bright and rivals aimpoint in brightness and has no edge bleeding at max power.Start cranking up the magnification and the image quality is absolutely horrible. The parallax adjustment seems to be a dummy knob and doesn't offer much help in getting a clear image at 16x. The scope looks and feels cheap, and is what I would expect in the $200-$300 range.This is not my only Trijicon optic, but if it were my first, I would probably steer clear of all their products based off my impression of this one.
