The slight colour fringing isn't really noticable shooting ground quarry (although i suppose it would be if you felt the need to use a 8-32 scope on things in trees....) It gives up some field of view to the IORs but all in all, you are stepping a million miles up from 4200/6500, Nikon monarch, Leupold etc for very very reasonable money.
The newer rets have much finer mildots than the old huge ones too, so that's an improvement; the first time i looked through an S3 i laughed out loud at the size of the mildots but as i say they're better now. And with the new ret in the tactical version, well it's all catered for and what, £600 less than an nxs? Worth a very good look imo guys.
