Hi,
 
This is the one right here:

How is the quality of this scope overall?
 
How's the glass?
 
What will it focus down to with clarity?
 
Any insight on this scope will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks.

I own one. To be honest I was expecting it to be a POS but it's surprisingly clear and bright throughout the entire range. It's a very long scope and very light so mounting can be an issue and I have no idea how long it will hold up. But for now it will continue living on one of my 22s.

Great! Thanks for the reply.

Which reticle in yours?

And the key questions, what is the shortest yardage you can use the 21x at? And how is the eye relief and the "blink out" factor?

Thanks again.

Oh yeah, do you have one of the Intensity Optics 6.5-20x44?
 
If so, can you offer a comparsion of the two?

I'm sorry I misread, I have the 6-24x44 with a mil-dot reticle. I haven't used it all that much yet so I don't have all the answers, but scope wink isn't a big issue. That rifle is a work in progress and with ammo so hard to get right now it may be a while before I spend some quality trigger time..
