It may be my eyes as well, but most scopes when adjusted for me to see the reticle clear and crisp the image dowrange is slightly blurred or clouded, clear up the downrange image and the reticle gets a little screwy. Of the scopes I currently have the conquest is noticeably better at this than the Minox and Leupy's.
It's not just you. I get that too. In the field I focus for low-light clarity. At the range I'll focus for reticle clarity.
