I have this scope. There is no flare issue. I shot my biggest buck ever with the sun behind him in Wyoming.

I have no idea where you heard this. Somewhere on this forum I mentioned the shot in a thread several years ago.
well buddy you mighta gotten lucky but mine definitely has it but only on 12x is it seen to be troublesome. its juts a washed out looking image kinda like its foggy out. scope is brand new with its first 2 outings i've seen this.

Only on 12X? Seriously?

You think the optics are fine on all other powers?

Give me a break.
just reporting on what I see bud. glad you got a good one that shows no signs of stray light flare..
