While the semi-circle on the CMR-W does flicker if your eye is not in direct alignment, it's pretty close to being DLV, but nowhere near the NF 1-8x ATACR nuclear brightness, which I think is the absolute best do-it-all LPVO out there right now in terms of everything I'd want out of an LPVO rolled into a complete package.
This is about where I come in on how I like my Mk6. It's a really good optic, and for the weight and cost it's definitely 'the' optic that made sense for my URX-Recce setup.
It's definitely imperfect, but everything in the LPVO regime is going to be a compromise. To me, it's a phenomenal optic dialed between 2.5-4x, and the CMR-W BDC is good enough I don't have to think about that when I'm trying to go from 50yd out to 300yd fairly quickly; I haven't really exercised that setup adequately beyond that. At 1.1x that reticle flicker is annoying when I'm thinking about the scope, but I'm so used to ACOGs that I end up putting myself in that OEG-flavor mode trying to go fast anyway, so I can mostly tune that out mentally and get stuff done. At 6x, it just feels like one of the budget Leupolds (not itself a bad thing, but it's really not ideal for outright precision stuff). I get that the selling point is that you get all three of those optics in the same package at the turn of a dial for 17oz, which is why it's so good.
For my part, I'm just as good with a stupid TA31RCO in 95% of cases, by which I mean you should take any/all of the above with a grain of salt.
