I'd say its a medium quality grade. It's definitely not low grade but also not the same as you guys use overseas. The dot is not oblong and fairly precise. My dad has the next size up (i don't think it's a better quality but just a large mm scope). and it's pretty sweet but i'm not forking over $250 anytime soon (the civilian model of the bushnell that the Military uses is about $450). The one i got has 11 brightness settings and 4 different reticles; small dot, large dot, cross hairs, and circle with a dot in the center. It has an auto shut off feature so that when the gun is laying down it shuts off and when you pick the gun up it turns on automatically. All in all i'd give it a B and one day when i fall into a large sum of money.....or not i'll get something nicer.
