Be sure to stick around for the Q&A lightning round!

I started looking at this new GLx scope and here is the first glance at the reticle.
So far, I like the way this scope is configured. It is sorta unusual configuration wise these days and one of the things that interests me is how it will stack up to more expensive 10x scopes that have much smaller objectives, for example the new high end 1-10x LPVOs, with different lighting conditions. I have a reasonable idea how it will pan out due to some experiments of distant past, but it is worth revisiting.
This post will remain for supporters only for a few days, until the YouTube overlords bless it and I release it to the wild.
The specific scopes I am looking at is this guy:

It comes with two different reticles: Griffin Mil and Raptor M2. For what I use these types of scopes for, Griffin Mil is the better option.

This one is going to get nerdy, folks!
As you all prepare to dust off your pocket protectors, I am mostly looking to go into more detail on the technical aspects of how FOV and resolution work with electro-optical sighting devices. Naturally, there will be a Q&A as well.

If you wonder what exactly I mean by Episode 17.5, here is the gist of it. Last DLO Live show went for 5 hours. It was fun, but patently unsafe. You see, I drink during the show and stand at my standing desk. It is not good for my liver or my feet. Also, it is not good for my European and Russian audience when I do the show in the evening Mountain Time.
That is what brought us here. I will try to do a couple of hour long, midday for me, but evening for the Euro/Russian crowd, Q&A sessions and see if there is interest.
This does not replace the regular, full length (I will cap them at three hours in the future) shows.
