    LOL...correction, this IS an upper middle class CQB. This scope is already on the market and available for purchase @ CST.

    Here's what the new reticle looks like (it's in MILs):

    Got me one last week and went out to the range yesterday to zero it and give it a quick test run.

    Some first impressions...

    Glass-wise, its noticeably better than my K-dot and XTR, but I wouldnt expect anything less for a scope that costs more than the other two combined

    The illumination isnt as bright as my K-dot, but it's brighter than my XTR, and had no tendencies to wash out in the California November sun. When I dialed down the illumination the thick vertical and horizontal posts helped with the alignment, even if the dot wasnt really standing out.
    Doing some speed drills it seemed to be a tad faster than the Meopta, though the difference was marginal.

    The zero point adjustment is a nice bonus compared to the other scopes, but with the BRT reticle I dont really see a big need for it, except maybe to dial in my 55s if I'm forced to shoot a long range stage with them.

    Though I've only been to the range with it once, I felt confident enough with it that it will most likely come with me to the Ft Benning 3-gun match in early Dec.

    After breaking 3 K-dots in 4 years, I hope that the Swarovski will take my abuse better...
