I have the midmayusa special 5-15X44 which is pretty much the same thing,except it has 1/10th mil adjustments and a mildot recticle. I absolutly love this scope. I feel the glass is just as good as my leupold VX-3 4.5-14X40 if not better. I will agree that the recticle is on the thin side, but I have had no issues with it. Elevation clicks are positive and return to zero. I would gladly trade the leupold Vari X III and Leupold VX-3 that I have for 2 of these scopes.
