why does this optic get such a bad rap in the reviews? Seems Leupold should make a good one, based on everything I have ever used of theirs. Have never tried one though.

DR, I can't say that i've read the op. pieces you're speaking of, so I'm not sure what it is they're griping about. My 1st assumption would have to be the CQT's relative size; my second assumption would be based on the subjective gripes concerning it's "circle-dot" reticle (not what they prefer). Compared to an aimpoint, it is rather large (maybe 1.3 aimpoints in length). Otherwise, the optics are
crystal clear, the illuminated reticle shows no sign of "flaring" even at high power, it uses AA batteries, is waterproof, built like a tank, and (my favorite)has the capability to go from a true 1X to 3X with a twist of the ocular housing. I own an aimpoint and can recommend it, but I'm growing weary of red dots. Between the two, I'll take the CQT...hands down, but, again, this is my opinion.
ETA: There's nothing else like it. Op. ed. writers have nothing to compare it to? Who knows? I've learned to take their biased opinions with a grain of salt when it comes to subjective dislikes.
