Greetings,
For Pre Christmas, Santa brought me a Leupold RDS for my duty AR15. Once in hand, I'm a bit puzzled.
The unit has 8 brightness settings. The calibrated turret and made in the USA (I've had enough of sending my money to China) were the main points along with of course the Leupold warranty.
Once in hand however, I've found that it has a very distinct "halo" effect on every setting beyond 3. The crisp 1moa dot grows into a star burst. Imagine if you used a stencil to spray paint a crisp round dot. You remove the stencil and your dot is just a dot; crisp and defined. This is like painting a dot without the stencil, you can tell where the center is, but there's no distinct edge to the dot, it only fades off, not a crisp edge.
I sent the unit off to Leupold who after a couple of weeks sent it back as repaired. I can't tell a difference from before to now.
So, my question to those who have one is this. Is this normal for the RDS line?
