Anyone have some hands on experience with the blackhound.

Joe the cyclops did a positive review.

Look at one yesterday, inexpensive, well packaged and nice presentation box with rings, bubble levels, lens pen and lense caps

Glass is bright, fuzzy around the edges, super tite eye box, turrets click better than expected, but didn't get to do a tracking test..

Nice budget, entry level scope with the bells and whistles.

Was the glass fuzzy at higher Magnification or all the way through the scopes range. Iv herd good things about the brand so just curious

The one I saw was brand new that friend had just mounted on an Impact.

For me, the unforgiving eye box was unacceptable.

Fuzzy all the way thru, barely noticeable at the 6 power, then progressively noticeable at 15 and beyond.

I have a Genesis 6-24x50. It's decent for the price. It is mounted on an Edgun Leshiy and is good for sniping coons. The clicks are a little mushy and the glass is decent as mentioned but it is not as clear as something like Aztec Optics for example. If you're on a budget it seems pretty good option. The real test will be long term mileage. I also think that 24 power is too much. Since it's FFP the reticle is too big IMHO past 20 power.

ill be trying the 4/14/44 ffl moa

I don't think I'd waste my time with FFP on less than 15 power. But that's an opinion. You could get better glass by ditching FFP and still get a scope that works great. Just an opinion..

Agree with the FFP summation as a waste of time (and money). The cost differential between FFP and SFP does not equate. You can get a much better scope for the money in SFP than FFP, better glass, turrets, reticles, etc. Unless you do some serious Looong range shooting or hunting you don't need FFP.
