Yes I have heard of them but cannot really tell you much I have two friends who have them and one says it is great and other says it sucks.

One thing for sure it will increase size of reticle along with everything else.

Friend who doesn't like it says its never sharp which is pretty understandable,

Actually... just tried one today,in a NF BR 12-42x). Works as advertised, but it does shorten up the eye-relief a bit... my 12 F/TR .308 jumped back and bit me on the bridge of my nose! Very nicely made product, just doesn't quite work w/ the application I had in mind; for a 6mm BR or 6mm PPC,i.e. something that recoils less) it'd probably be the cat's meow.

Hi,

what about the human factor ? After a hard working day with stress and coffee, get your eye tired after some minutes with this boosted scope on the range ?
