Mine's like that on the higher settings. It depends on what you want it for. For real target work, you might want it at the lowest possible so that you can just barely see and have a real fine dot. For CQB I'd think you'd want it high for quick target acquisition.

wheew... i'm glad to know thats how it should be. i read on other posts to get the 2moa then crank it up and it would be a 4. i guess just not all the way up so you can still see. thx..

jack would yell GET DOWN! then chuck norris would hit em with a round house.

For me it depends on how brightly lit the conditions are that you're shooting in. Just playing around with it at home at first I thought I would never need the higher settings. But one day at the range when the sun was shining down directly on me and the target I had it up to 9 or 10. When it's darker outside you don't have to compete against the sun.
