Wouldn't the illumination offset the thin reticle at 1X?
I'm assuming the ill knob adjusts bright enough for daytime use, and dim enough for night use; is this correct?

For those dying to see the reticle, if RC doesn't mind my piggybacking on his thread, here are some shots. My photography isn't the best tonight so some are a bit blurry but it should give you an idea. I'll hit the range with it this weekend for some outdoor shots.
Who is it? 20 ft: 10 ft: Keep in mind, this is just a prototype. There will be changes to the production version, specifically making it a bit easier to see on 1X. Overall I'm extremely impressed with the scope. While I didn't have time for pics before dark I did take it outside and the glass is extremely good. No tunnel vision effect on any power, no noticeable distortion of any sort, and very, very sharp. I'll have more comparisons later. I love the new knobs--lower profile and 10 mil per turn. I wish my SS 3-9 had those knobs! When you choose not to use the BDC function of the reticle but dial instead, a single turn will get you as far as you're going to do anything with an AR and a 4X scope.

I should clearify, since I broke my back hunting isn't even an option,YET, so sitting at the bench and target shooting is all I can do and looking for a 3/4 inch dot sometimes a 1/2 inch isn't easy with lower power scopes,so I went to variables up to 20x or a few SS 20x for the range.
When I am able to hunt again a 1-4 would fit nicely on my 700ML and or my 1200 winchester 12 guage.
My distance vission is still good but the focus of my dominant eye is blurred, and I need reading glasses for up close which makes looking through a low power difficult for longer shots.
Not knocking anything any scope makers do but I wish they would consider the opticly challenged once in a while.

Very nice pics! Are the BDC aimpoints tuned to a specific caliber? Or are they to a mil-based?

My understanding is they are tuned to 5.56 NATO ball (not sure which one yet), but I recommended to Chris they include the drop in mils too so it can go on any caliber and rifle and be meaningful. To the range later today. |

They're OK. Really. Does that have a zero stop? @Pyro... if you don't quit talkin' about your .375, I'm gonna get the fever and have to go get me one- can barely afford all the rifles I have and don't need as it is. |
