I have been running this scope for a while now with no issue like I have said this scope dose have a shift with magnification but if you use the reticle the way it is described in the review on the first page and by the direction provided it is not an issue. The reticle has a diamond in the center the top point of the diamond is what you use on 6x and the center of the diamond is what you use for 1x and you will have poa poi at both magnification.
