Thanks Steve.
The a6 arrived an hour ago and I can say it's not all that. At least not the 2.5-15x50 that I got. Don't get me wrong, it has some impressive features for the price such as on off between illumination settings and also illuminates the holdover points right and left but looking at a tree at 140 yards from my backyard at 15 magnification the Hawke was looking way better. No matter how much I played with the a6, adjusting the ao and the focus bell it always seemed at that distance like some light mist clouds were passing by my image. Like a faint fog cloud. Not so much so with the Hawke. Image was brighter and more well defined in details. It seems to me the a6 punches above it's class considering that I just got a sig whiskey 4-12x44 for the same amount of money and doesn't even have illumination but certainly not in the same league as the Hawke or the Ares. At least not the 2.5-15.
