There are only two reasons why I did not give this scope a 5 star rating. First, it is not possible to flip the base around 180 degrees. This means that the mounting nuts will always be on the right side of the weapon which can be a problem if you intend to mount 45 degree backup iron sights. The second and more important reason for the 4 star rating is that this sight has TERRIBLE eye relief. Your eye must be very close to the scope in order to see the entire field of view. This is a huge disadvantage for a tactical sight that is meant for both long and short ranges. A better design would have a longer eye relief so that the user could scan his/her surroundings while still looking down the scope instead of having to choose between one or the other.
Aside from these two issues, this is an amazing scope. The optics are very clear and the reticle is very easy to use. You also cannot beat the Vortex warranty.

SUPER SPORT TRIGGER, SINGLE STAGE, 3.5LBS.

Better than stock but not great
I would not say that this is a true single stage trigger. There is a very grindy takeup before the actual break. In all fairness, the takeup is very short, but it's still there and it's not smooth at all. The actual break is crisp but it feels like more than 3.5lbs. I don't have a trigger gauge so this is strictly speculation. However, when compared to my Timney (which I know to be 3.5lbs), this trigger feels significantly heavier. I'd suggest either forking out the extra coin for a better trigger or getting a comparable, but significantly cheaper, polished mil-spec trigger.

Does not possess reverse current protection!
This does not possess reverse current protection which you would think would be standard on something like this. It is very easy to put the battery lead on in the wrong direction due to different manufacturers using different wire color schemes. I bought two and fried both within three weeks.
