everything on this scope from the reticle to the turrets looks too busy.

It’s like they wanted a Toyota Camry to work for everything from grocery getter to hauling 6 kids to school to towing my tractor.

Oh it’s mall ninja’d out. The reticle is atrocious- it might be the dumbest reticle I have seen in a scope. The ring is too large to use as any kind of aiming reference- even at 5 yards, but at the same time it takes up so much of the FOV. At 6.5x the ring disappears out of the FOV and then the reticle becomes usable. It’s like a video game reticle. Probably is.

Thing is, it’s the scope design that a lot of people want. Compact, looks good, 2-12’ish mag, etc. but, these companies are ran by nincompoops. Vector is just a Chinese owned and ran company- they were the ones with the crappy junk at local gun shows 15 years ago.
