Yea - I had it cranked down - I am going to look at eye peace also or eye focus knob and I cleaned lens w scope towel
I need to rejudge what I hav - Zeiss scope to cheap Zeiss binos and reconfirm - to me the meopta and Zeiss scopes followed very closely to what cheap Zeiss binos did Maybe I was expecting too much - want to double confirm I saw difference in what I had -Vs new - felt positive I did
Want to also make sure the side focus knob is not at 300 yards - I thought we checked that before I left - it was mentioned and not sure it that even makes diff - but most of my shots r 100 yards unless on a road Thanks guys

I have a VX-5 4-20x52 with the FireDot reticle and had the exact same issue that you are having the first time I took it to the range. I only had about 30 minutes that afternoon to sight it in and was extremely disappointed with the clarity and focus. However, the next time I went out, I had time to make all the fine adjustments and it is very impressive now. I think you will find the same thing once you have a chance to set it to your eye.

Moral of the story- even expensive scopes need to be setup properly for the individual user or else said user will badmouth the scope. Got it👍🏼
You're only as good as your worst shot-

I need to take it and evaluate it again - last time I had it out I forgot my binoculars-. I made some adjustments w the eye focus - the side focus was where it should be. It seemed like it was clearer some what

goatkiller is right on. another thing to remember is that as we age, out natural eye's exit pupil shrinks; what used to be clear and a 7 EP at 5 p.m. at 200 yards when we were 40, is no longer a 7 at 70, no matter how bright the same scope at age 40 and age 70.

I have a minox scope but the eye relief sucks Mine is a zx5. I had a different one a za5 I think and they had issues. I sent it back for repair and the scope I got back wasn't mine and had nasty long action ring marks. Mine was on a short action. So I pitched a fit, and the scope I got for 299 was replaced by one that cost well over $1000. Minox got absolutelyscrewed on the company who assembled the za scopes, nearly all needed warrant work. So they stood behind me very well. First scope I got from amazon. Got the right box and wrong scope. Had to send it back and I made them price match my first one. So it was an ordeal to get the scope I finally got.

That's my problem. I'm 55. So the last half hour looking at everything with the scope.
