No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"
I put off getting magnified optics far too long so this is one of my first, and I haven't even shot with it yet. Fire restrictions on public land where I shoot started about the time I got it, and lasted until prime season for hiking which is what I've been doing instead. One of these fall days I'll go out in the cold and rain and compare it to the Viper PST 1-6 I picked up around the same time, giving them both a weather test in the process. (I know that a few live fire sessions a year is inadequate but it's better than nothing.)
Compared to cheap scopes and even the Viper PST the glass seems clear and bright. That's about as much as I can offer beyond my existing observation of the illumination.
I'm eyeballing this SLx 5X mil reticle for an AR we just pulled an ACOG off. It says there's 8 mounting options out of the box?
(just viewed the PDF manual... nice mounting options included)

I have the 1x and 3x, and they are fine. I tried the 5x and it was not good. I had 2 different units and both had the same problem. No matter what I did with the diopter adjustment, I could not get the entire reticle in focus at the same time. Either the center was in focus and the outside edges blurry, or one side was focused while the other side was out of focus. I sent the first one back immediately after receiving it, and they replaced it under warranty...but the second unit had the EXACT same issue. I think it is part of the design. Maybe it was just my eyes, but I have many other optics and none of them behave like that.
I am curious if anyone else has tried the 5x and what the results were.
Wow. That sucks. I've not pulled the trigger on one of these. I guess I'd like to try one in person before buying. I do like the 5X idea, but if it's not clear, who cares?

Hopefully there will also be a higher power GLX model at some point. I like the 2X quite a bit, but I suspect they sell over twice as many of the cheaper line.
