A friend wanted my thoughts on this particular scope a while back and sent one to me. I was not impressed. The eye box was extremely critical at higher powers and also when the light was low, and the eye relief varied considerably as you went up and down the magnification scale.
Beyond 7x or thereabouts, the edge distortion became quite annoying as well. In fact, there was enough distortion -- including loss of detail in the sweet spot -- that I suspected a slight misalignment of lenses.
The mag ring also had a tight, gritty spot around 5x.
Color rendition was fairly accurate, and the adjustments seems to work as advertised. But it's not a scope I'd want to have.
I've had 2 of the Fullfield II 4.5-14x42 and had no issues with those. They offer lots of performance for the $$.
Thank you, Bobby. I always enjoy reading your reviews on optics.
