Last season I bought a Nikon Omega with the Nikoplex reticle and I love it. I mostly hunt in moderately wooded areas therefore I prefer the uncluttered crosshairs. For this same reason I chose the lower power version of this scope. 1.6 to 5X. I love the way the 1.6 opens up the field of view and lets in all that light during the wee hours of the morning.

I also bought the scope for the 5 inch eye relief. And i still prefer this feature even though I have found a slight drawback. Holding the scope in the store it is great. But when I am sitting in a tree stand with a bar in front of me to rest my elbow on - I typically lean forward. When I lean forward I naturally move my cheek forward (actually I think I am moving my shoulder back a bit ) and thus my eye relief is about 4 inches and I get the ( I don't know the technical name ) but you know, that little circle inside the scope you get when your eye is too close. Adjusting the scope all the way forward in the mount has helped. But I still need a second to readjust and pull my cheek back a little and then everything is fine. This isn't really a big problem but I thought I'd pass that along. Maybe with more scope experience I will learn to shoulder the ML properly with different body geometries.

This was my first scope so take my review with a large grain of salt. I suppose that all scopes require a slight adjustment to eye position depending on body geometry in different shooting positions.
