You’re not the first guy to tell me that, and you wouldn’t be the first to send one back.
In ideal lighting conditions the image in the DMRII is great, but in mirage or anything less than perfect conditions, it’s like looking through a fish bowl full of water. The LRTS and even the $299 SWFA Classics do much better in poor lighting conditions. If the image works for you, you will be very happy because everything else about the scope is awesome. The DMRII Pro has all the same awesome features as the DMRII, but handles poor lighting conditions significantly better.
Hopefully you are happy with the DMRII! Let us know what you think after you have some use on it.
