willy, my eyes are not good! I have used rifle scopes with just the xhair! This one has the extra 3 triangles for 30-40-50 yds. They take up the room i feel i need to make a clear visual look at my target. Plus i need the 4x magnafacation vs. 2.5x. Reckon i will have to get glasses at some point. I bought it new in sept. the 19th i think! of 2006.
