Just received it today.
I ordered the 3-9X, and what I received has the 3-9X plate on the side, but on the screen,, and with the screen controls, it is a 5-15X. It steps from 5 to 9 to 12 to 15X with an obvious magnification increase to the eye in each step.
It is 12.2" long as the 3X9 is supposed to be, not the 13.0 of the 5-15, and with a 30 MM lens, not a 50MM so it isn't just a labeling error.
Firmware is v1.1.1.2009270.
I wonder if this is just a firmware 'glitch' or something like that???
Haven't mounted it yet, much less tried to zero it, so I don't know if this situation affects the actual performance.
Anyone heard of anything like this before?

Well, at least I figured that out. If you do a factory reset, you have the option of setting it to 3-9X or to 5-15X.
I guess someone at the factory gave it the wrong setting, or maybe someone at the seller was playing with it.
And unfortunately, it won't hold zero on my 50 Beowulf, despite it being rated for much more powerful cartridges.
Maybe it will hold zero on something wimpier.
