Thanks, JCM, I appreciate your reviews.


Glass is excellent and it really shows in low light and when picking out limbs/twigs on tight shots. The reticle is a good all around reticle....I'd prefer a heavy #4 for most of my hunting in thick stuff and low light but the mil-dot is still a good reticle that's never out of place.

The eyebox isn't as forgiving as a 6x42 Leupold, but what is.... Like most 6x42's, it's easy to get behind with the large exit pupil and that alone makes it forgiving...more critical than the Leupold 6x42 on the fore/aft alignment but nothing that's been bothersome while hunting. The eye relief has been fine on a 6.5CM.

I've not set it up side by side with my Meopta but will try to one evening if I can find the time.
