So what's the verdict on these?

I've seen several people immediately discount them because of the shorter eye relief at higher power...but then I have also seen a few users report no issues.

No one questions the robust build of the 20+ ounce fixed and variable SS models...have these proven solid at half the weight?

With low profile capped turrets, I assume it is safe to say they aren't intended to be hardcore dialers, but as a set-and-forget scope, will they be as reliable, or more so, than a Leupold 6x36?

Just looking for some honest field reports now that these have been out for a bit.
