I have a couple of them and think that they are a good scope for the price, but I don't think that they are particularly "small" or "lite" and would agree that they are more useful out beyond 200 yards than they are under 100 yards.
I'm happy with mine, 1 mounted on a very accurate 260 and the other on an equally accurate 223, but it would be, for me, too big (physically) and too much magnification for any of my AR-15 applications.
I have a Leupold 2-7x33 with a turkey plex reticle on my Sportical and like it for the size, weight, and the magnification options.
