Sorry... A "DOT" is not a "MILDOT",

This scope is properly advertised: "Crosshair reticle with 1/8" dot." I bought one myself and it indeed has a fine cross-hair target reticule with a single 1/8 MOA dot at center: exactly what I expected to find.
It is also not a "duplex", which is a cross hair with a thicker section from the outside edge tapering to thinner at the center. A MILDOT reticule is listed as a MILDOT, not just "DOT." There is no bait and switch, just a gentleman apparently unfamiliar with the terms.

This review is from: Tasco Target & Varmint 6-24x44 Riflescope (Sports)
I just purchased this TG624X44DS scope. In the description it says that:
"High power scope that's ideal for target shooters and varminters. 1/8 M.O.A. Dot reticle and matte finish."
It says that it has a "DOT reticle", that is Mil-Dot Reticle. I opened the package, and it absolutely DOES NOT HAVE A DOT RETICLE, it has a standard DUPLEX reticle.
What is this about? that is bait and switch. Most new "tactical" scopes have a Mil-DOT reticle, and even though this scope does not have a DOT reticle, it advertize it as having it.
