Just got one in today, yes it still has a reticle, lenses seem clear (not leupold quality) but does have focus ring for my failing eye sight. However reticle is smaller than appears on website, they lead you to believe it is it is actually small you cant really make out ranges. But for me it is better than eotec because i can see clearly. may have to buck up for a magnifier for my eotec later. Hope this helps
