Hello Greg,
Cool!
How is the glass on this Chinese clone?
I find that many SMK scopes for instance, are surprisingly clear.
Must have to do with low magnification as well.
Another benefit of low mag and small objective, in my experience, is less issues with parallax and blurryness.
Not sure if this is true, but with my cheapo x20 scopes, I see the crosshair and target quite clearly at different distances, whereas with x40, things become blurry.
Might also have to do with crosshairs; fine ones have more blurriness potential than thick ones? Hmmm, must do some testing.
