The scope arrived in a neat black and yellow cardboard box with some warranty cards and a manual. The manual didn't say anything about the scopes reticle, so we measured the reticle and found it to be closer to a Army mil-dot reticle than to a USMC mil-dot reticle. The model in question is also available with an illuminated reticle with adjustable illumination, but we decided to stay clear of that model because we were warned that the illumination is too bright for low-light use even with it's lowest setting. The image on the tested scope is surprisingly clear, although obvously inferior to more expensive scopes. The scope has 1/8 MOA clicks on the vindage and elevation turrets, wich is a bit too much for our taste. The clicks are precise and and audible and the knobs are finger adjustable although covered with caps. The focusing mechanism seems tight and snug, but the power ring on the other hand feels a bit loose and there are no numbers marked between 18 and 24. The scope performed well throught the square grid test, although only time will tell how the scope stands up to everyday use & abuse.
