good review chris,this part reminded me of a scope i nearley sold,but glad i never>>> it can be a little awkward discerning some of the markings. I suspect that practise, familiarity or possibly fine tuning the px setting may minimise this minor quibble. ive got a valdada,the field of view is excellent for me,it has a simlar ret to the lupe it took me a long time to actually get use to it,but i stuck with it. And i wouldnt part with it now as you say above abit of practise will sort it out for you
