This is my review is the Discovery Optics HD 4-20x50 FFP scope.
Here we are with another quality optic from Discovery. This time I am sharing my opinion on the 4-20x50 FFP scope. In this video, you will see how the scope tracks, focus, live fire, magnification tests and more.

You would be hard pressed to find another optic as good for the price.
 
Does your reticle (once adjusted one time in the normal way) stay sharp across the whole zoom range without readjusting the rear oculair? (it seems so, but it's difficult to judge in the video (as it is a camera focussed on the target so it may not be the same experience when you look with your own human eye through it...)

If I adjust it to be sharp when the scope is at low power the reticle goes blurry when the zoom is increased to over 12X. Likewise if I adjust the reticle to be sharp when at high magnification an then decrease the zoom it goes blurry at around 10X and less. Not so happy about this...

I want to be sure that I properly present my response as one of not doubting for one second that what you are describing IS, in fact, happening to you. That said, I can tell you that what you are seeing in my video is/was captured from a GoPro and while at face value that doesn't mean much it is important to know that GoPro does not have any ability to focus as the human eye can. Smartphones, video cameras and other imaging capturing devices typically have some level of clarity checking algorithm or mechanical interface using solenoids, actuators, motors or tension inducers to effect or manipulate image clarity or focus.


I have not witnessed what you are describing on any scope reviewed and a GoPro video capture is as raw as it gets.
