My scope actually arrived today and I have to take back every negative thing I said about it prior. They fixed the hell out of this thing. No more fuzzy image at 10-15x and you can see the reticle holds like you should. Not sure what they did to fix the image quality, but it worked! Still don't think it should have ever left the facility the way I received it but hats off to March for making it right in a big way. And they sent me some swag that included a cool velcro patch. Will have to get out to the range and run it a bit to see how it performs but I'm digging this little thing now.
New reticle at 4x pointed at the sky:

Don't judge the glass by this pic it's difficult to get a cell phone pic off a kitchen table but the alien is at 225 yards. With the previous reticle, I had a really hard time making out edges and everything had a halo effect similar to how the leaves in the foreground look (they're at 50ish yards next to my barn) no matter what I did with the diopter and/or parallax. Truly is a massive improvement.

Glad none of you suckers bought this when I posted it on the Exchange at the pre-fix discount. This is definitely a keeper scope now. Thought about it for a hunting rifle but I might just hold off and put it on my Tac Ops Delta 51 once it's done. I mean I can't be a Tac Ops Ninja and not have Shiruken turrets right???
