Hepcat, it sounds like your mind was made up already about the scope, so I am not sure why you were asking for thoughts.
In any event, I have used the CQ/T for close to a year, competing in 4 major 3 gun event, SMM3G, RM3G, Iron Man, etc as well as many local events and have found the following:
Its variable power settings give it a degree of flexibility not found in the fixed power ACOG's, positive feature.
Ability to clamp directly to a rail using the added clamp set is a positive, negates the use of rings.
Battery life is a non issue for me, I usually don't use the batteries.
The objective is 14 mm. This is probably the worst design feature on the scope. The field of view is tiny, (especially at higher powers) making lateral target transition more difficult than a bigger objective. This costs you big time precious seconds in competition. Why did they not make it at least 20 mm or 26 like the Valdada 1.1 -4? Big negative.
Weight is more than I would like. Carry an AR-15 and this around for the MGM Iron Man 6 minutes stages and then let me know what you think of its weight. Negative, should be lighter.
The dot / circle reticle is not user friendly for ranging at long distances. It is really jsut built for point and shoot, there is really no way to account for ballistic path using this reticle. Why did they not put some hold over marks / lines in the scope? Negative.
The eye relief decreases dramatically at thehighest power putting your eye close to the scope body. Maybe you will be wearing some new scars around your eye, maybe you won't. Everyone is shaped differently. Neutral.
All in all, the scope works as a decent general purpose variable power scope since at the time, there was not much competition. It is over priced considering other options.
I do see a lot of 3 gunners moving to the JP Enterprises adapted TA-01 ACOG because of its flexible reticle. That scope works for 55 - 69 grain bullets at medium / long distances. I am also seeing a lot of serious shooters moving to the IOR Valdada 1.1 -4 scope with the CQB or doughnut reticle. There were a good number of people using this scope at the WC 3 Gun in Nevada several weeks ago. David Neth and Kelly Neal are both using this scope now and their win record speaks for itself. Valdada has changed the reticle to a second focal plane style which works better for competition.
For the next season, I am mulling over which scope to switch to, the JP ACOG or the Valdada 1.1 - 4. I need to think it over a bit more, but for 3 gun, both are far superior to the CQ/T. If you plan to compete, give some more thought before you spend. If you are just a plinker, the CQ/T will work for you. It will be interesting to see your opinion if you buy and use the CQ/T seriously in about a year.
