Is there some trick to getting these dialed in to where the image actually appears crisp/clear?

Parallax and diopter, otherwise you’ve got a lemon. I’d let someone else (that has experience as well) look through it
I've got a bit of experience over the years, especially with my F-class scopes (Nightforce BR/NXS 12-42x, Comp 15-55x, Vortex GE 15-60x, etc.). Kind of surprised me, after all the hub-bub here about these scopes that I couldn't quite get the target image to be sharp / crisp @ 100yds. Even on a cold crisp winter morning it looks just a hair out of focus, almost like when there's a bit of mirage. Wasn't sure if it's my eyes, or if that's just what a $600 chinese scope looks like.

I get that when my barrel is warm from inside and the temp is cold outside, but probably not the case here. Curious how this works out for you.
Yep... been doing this long enough to be able to tell barrel/brake mirage from downrange mirage
Contact customer service and get it replaced.

This probably.
I figured since you’ve been on here since 2002 it’s likely not you. Having someone else that’s also experienced would give you the answer. CS is excellent and they’ll swap it out because that’s not the norm obviously from all the posts.

CameraLand is fast. Warranty is directly through DNT if needed.
Well... got up to the range today with another local shooter (@Rover31) to have him put eyes on/thru the DNT, and compare/contrast with a few other scopes. We did all the eyeball comparisons with the guns still cold / no rounds through them, so no barrel/brake mirage, and it was the usual (for here) winter overcast sky. I think the consensus was that besides what constituted 'in focus' was very different for the two of us, the DNT was (to my eyes) actually a fair bit sharper than his Leupold Mk5HD, and not *quite* as sharp as my Burris XTRiii 5.5-30x. So... in the end, once I got it actually alongside some other glass where I could go back and forth between one and the next, on the same target at the same time... the DNT ended up looking a lot better than I thought. Guess I'll keep it around for a while longer
XTR Pro edged out the DNT slightly with mirage but not really a scientific study since two different guns and different suppressors albeit same day, time, environment etc. It maybe edged over it into the shadows of trees near dusk at 30 power and 300 yards. Honestly it was close and used my ZCO at 27 as a comparison to both. It was clearly better but not exponentially.Well... got up to the range today with another local shooter (@Rover31) to have him put eyes on/thru the DNT, and compare/contrast with a few other scopes.

Mine has numbers on the parallax, was this missing on yours?

Someone asked for reticle pics. Here's a very quick one I just took. I don't have any other scopes that the full tree is illuminated like this one.
I just mounted mine on a CZ 457 MTR, I have a NightForce NX8 4-32 on my Vudoo 22. I'm anxious to compare since the NF is super clear and the best scope I have look through, but I don't have any $3K plus scopes. Mine are bench guns so far.

I don’t own one. I was just recounting the feedback given thus far on this thread.
Do others have numbers on the parallax knob?
Both of my DNTs have numbered parallax.
