You like it early and late? I love the ones I have in good light, and would love them utterly and completely with an illuminated reticle, but the reticle sucks for me in low light, and I seem to shoot deer early and late often as not.
So mine sit on 22s and coyote rifles now.
It's not been an issue for me so far, last 5 years or so? Can't remember exactly when I got it.
I'd not hate illumination too but so far, works ok.
Could it have better glass? Yep
Do I really need the reticle? Nope
But I love the tracking/RTZ and zero retention it has. I got sick of 1/2 a lb of powder wasted as I chased bullet holes around because scopes wouldn't adjust and hold zero.
So it's a compromise- like most things I guess.
For me and hunting the Yoop where I do - swamp to ag field edges, 6x works as a magnification. I don't feel 'cheated' not having more aboard.
