For the $$, there was nothing I had seen that matched it in terms of resolution, contrast, edge-to-edge sharpness, etc. The glass itself was amazing in low light. The build quality was top-flight as well. However, the illumination on its lowest setting was overpowering -- to the point of being useless once you got to 20 or so minutes after sundown. GPO had no solution to the issue, so I had to send it back. I just can't understand building a high-quality scope intended for low-light applications and then hamstringing it with a cheap and useless illumination system, but GPO isn't the only one to do such. Building a scope with a 56mm objective and featuring high-noon-only illumination just makes me scratch my head and wonder why...

Can't make this stuff up. Zeiss does the same thing. Not really.... Reminds me of “Chicago Tool”.... made in China. I think there’s Pittsburg Tool now, also made in China. I remember when I was a kid, I remember a company that sold a lot of brass-plated stuff. Picture frames and stuff. The name of the company was “Solid Brass”

No twisting turrets though. Glass is pretty good. I also have the gpo passion hd 8x42 and they r fantastic.
