I bought that same scope from Academy and I wasn't real pleased with it. First off, anything over 10X got blurry. I had to screw the fast focus all the way in to get a clear site picture and I also had to max out the AO at around 300 yds and beyond to get a decent sight picture and to eliminate parralax. The 3 position illuminated reticle is pretty much useless, either to bright or not bright enough. I may have just had a bad apple. The good thing is if you get it from Academy and you have a problem they will refund your money. I took mine back after about a month of using it and told them the problems I was having and they refunded my money with no hassle. Just make sure you keep your reciept.
