My reticle is smudgy, its like the mirror is projecting three different images, is there a way to fix this?

Clean the front and back with the cloth that came with it, which you probably already did. If that didn't work, take a q-tip and clean (lightly) out the area where the light is projected from. There can be dust on in it. Blowing on it could help to. A lot of these cheaper sights don't have a perfectly smooth reticle. Mine is a little blurry.

I haven't had that problem but I am not completely happy either with my own issue. The windage knob on the rear sight moves when I change the sight aperture from large to small. This obviously changed my zero. I kept them only because I was looking for a work around and they were relatively inexpensive. They had good reviews but I wouldn't buy again.

I presume you've checked to make sure the you installed the lenses properly and that the lenses are clean. If this isn't the problem, it may need to be collimated although these telescopes are supposedly collimated before being shipped out.

Steve,The reticle is black and there are two back lights inside the scope that light up. They shine a red or green light onto the reticle so they appear to change colors. The problem is the light refracts and the reticle isn't thin and crisp looking. If you are shooting short distance they will work fine but why use a scope at short distance. Just leave the lights turned off and use it like a normal scope and it works great.

Did you mount the scope, or was it already mounted when you got it. There should be plenty of adjustment if the mounting is OK.You might try taking the scope off, including taking the rings off the scope. clean everything and look for any burrs, then remount everything.Make sure when you remount everything that the windage knob is on the right side.

There isn't a reticle selection option, the product description should indicate which type of reticle the scope has when purchasing. Only the reticle color can be changed, and this is done with a turn knob mounted to the scope

have you shot it without the 3 power magnifier. I have one on a AK47 and it is pretty good. The shooter is more of a problem than the sight and gun when it is me. Try it on another weapon.

the one I got is mil dot reticle in blue red and green. zero doesn't hold at different distances and I am having difficulty moving my group to center of target

I have the same problem. Put it in 3 different slots and the light flickers very fast. Unusable.

I've used my mirrors several times and never had this problem. I just tested one and the finding is that it's an optical illusion. When you first look into the magnified side it is so magnified that one can not see any thing. Then when you start "focusing" it does momentarily appear to be upside down. However, when you bring your face up close and truly focus using the magnification all is correct. Not upside down at all. So maybe experiment a little on getting it into focus and I believe you will be happy with the results. Good luck. Betty

I don't believe so. The reticle seems to be a thin piece of metal cutout suspended near the middle of the tube. It is NOT high quality by any means.

When I first got mine I thought the reticle was moving around on me as I moved my head around but once I flipped up my iron sights that cowitness with the reticle I realized it wasn't moving all that much. In order for it to really affect me I'd need to shoot from an awkward position so I haven't had an issue with it yet

Directions were stuck up in the lid on mine. Look closely up there.The small set screw on the lower part of the left side is a lock screw. Loosen it before making any windage or elevation changes and tighten it when you are done. Clicks are 1 MOA. Make sure you get the reticle setting clicked solidly in place too. It will mess up the zero if you do not have it in the center.

You can turn the hopper 180 and it will clear the sight, but I'm using a offset sight now. That works better for both clearing the hopper, but more importantly I can actually use the sight w/ my mask on.

I dont think it is caused by color wheel, it could be dirt on your projection lense. The wheel spins so fast that it will not generate any spots.

Yep. Loosen the lock ring on the back lens of the scope, twist the lens in or out and bring the reticle into focus. I have this scope on three guns. I love it!

Mine did need a small amount of calibration, my elevation line was too high. Fire at a fixed target from a padded flat surface.Mark your targets and check your calibration accordingly.
