I would have preferred the outer horizontal stadia was thinner, I realize that is higher mag (12x) but looks like a brick wall that will only get thicker up to 18x. Would be curious to see a 3x and 18x pic if you have the opportunity unicron, thank you for posting those. For a 3-18 I am really liking this, maybe even for my AR... Biggest question is how does glass compare to PST II and will the turrets track true and stay true.For sure...i am glad the horse shoe & thick side bars are there for use @ 3X.
