For the money I think they are a good bargain. Not the best out there but if you plan on upgrading later....a good place to start. I have a 3-9 Trophy with a mil dot reticle on my varmint gun. I have no reason to upgrade this one. For what I use it for the clarity is good. Repeatability is good. Not very positive or audible clicks in the adjustments though. I also have a 4-12 trophy that, at present, isn't being used which is again the same as above. Both have been reliable thus far.
