is the sight picture still clear at max magnification?

It's pretty darn clear. Obviously not as clear as say a swarovski or a leopold at 24x but you will see your bullet impacts at a very long ways away and the front focus really helps with clarity. At 10x though (where I usually keep it for most shots) it's super super clear.

I have yet to try it out on a nice cold day, but it showed the heat wave on a hot day I tried at max magnification

Not as clear as the lowest power but still very impressive for a optiic in this price range. I own 3 of them on 270 and 22-250 caliber rifles and they have not let me down after several rounds. Just don't forget the loc-tite on all hardware or it will come loose.

Yes, just remember that this scope has an adjustable objective so you will have to rotate the end till it comes into focus.

Absolutely not. The focus is not crystal clear and the image is not bright enough for stars. Also, the zoom feature requires refocusing throughout the magnification range which is very frustration.

This is not a microscope it is a microscope CAMERA. So powe depend on the scope it is on. I found that the clearest images were at magnifications of 250 and below.

It has adjustable focus. I have only used it on a full screen approx. 6' x 8' with no clarity problems.

If you are looking for a response from a technical perspective, I am unable to provide an answer for you. However, from a lamen's persepective, I was able to view the screen with no visual indication of the pixels. The images were all clear. I hope this is helpful.

Hi Bob, the good news is that you generally need to be concerned with parallax settings when using highly magnified scopes, at long ranges, in situations requiring ultra-precision (think completion targets). For a better explanation than I can give see the following http://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/what-is-parallax-2.php

I don't know the magnification, I looked on the web-site, and it wasn't there. I bought it for my husband to read maps, his globe, and other things. He says it is good for that, plenty strong. I looked through it at some very small print, with my glasses off and I could make it out. It's a very nice gift, or for yourself...

The image clarity is probably better than average. It's not Zeiss, but for the money it's a good value. I was used to very high-end binoculars until I lost the sight in one eye. The one finger focus dial on top is a plus. I would rate this product 3.5 out of 5.

None at all on my M- it is a bit slow in the focus- but when I combined it with a short loupe to act as a viewfinder it became handy. Mine works perfectly except for the focussing time. VRR

One way to test this (it's most certainly your vision though, I have 20/10 vision and I still see a minuscule high right distortion) is to hold the sight and turn it on its axis 360 degrees while still looking through the sight. If it looks like the distortion stays in the same position while you are turning the sight, it's your vision.

They are very clear and are fine for farther distances but recognize that they only magnify 8.5X.

Eye relief is unlimited due to being 1x. Even at indirect view. As long as the dot is on targetUse mine at about 8 inches.

Image clarity is good out to about 150 but 300 would be questionable. I use it for deer hunting out to about 100-120 with good success. The object would be clear at 300 but details would be minimized.

I actually purchased this optic to see how it compared to the Eotech 512. For an economy optic it seems top notch. I tend to mount my optics a bit further back but even with the magnifier attached it didn't seem to have any eye relief issues. At the end of the day this is a reflex sight and even with a magnifier there shouldn't be any relief issues. Having said that the only real issue I noticed was a very small loss of field of view. It is minor but likely is the result of the magnifier threading into the housing not around it. Overall this is a solid optic at an economy price and should serve you well.

No, it is not but I find it hasn't been a problem. It is very clear and large enough to compensate for the lack of magnification. I have a smaller portable mirror I keep in my backpack that has a 8x magnification & a normal 1:1 mirror.

It is clear when you look through the scope. The lens coatings on the outside are a maroonish tint, but it's a good scope nonetheless.

Yes you can see everything normally seen through the viewfinder, simply adjust the magnification of the angle viewer
