I owned a 3-24x42 with the FML-1 reticle in the FFP for a while.
I found the glass to be very impressive, neutral color with very good light transmission and resolution.
Of course it performed best at or below 20x magnification, with a 42 mm objective and the resulting small eye pupil, there's no getting around the laws of physics.
The reticle could have been better, thick stadia and a relatively simple design were limiting factors, but it was useable.
It tracked accurately when I tested it. It had the simplest zero stop setup I've encountered. The turrets had a good feel, with the right mix of tactile clicks and O-ring drag.
It was very small and light. Maybe that means it would have broken with a little abuse but that was just the impression I got from its size and weight, and I did not have any issues with it.
At that time I was a riflescope nomad so I did not keep it for more than a few months. I sold it at little to no loss.
