So I just got this in the mail the other day (extremely fast service by the way!!) and I have a quick question about it. When I look through it at ANY power level, I can always see a faint red reflection in the bottom left and it seems to be a bit distracting... although i haven't mounted it yet. It looks to be a reflection of the inside of the scope as the red dot hits the front glass.

Is this normal?

NOTE: when I put my eye all the way up to it, the reflection vanishes.

Normal reflection. Hold it away from your eye, like it will be on the weapon, and look at a target with both eyes open. Don;t look into the optics but at the target and you will soon tune out all but the target and the dot.

I have both an Aimpoint ML3 and an PM M3 style red dot and they both do this.  As Marshall said, once you focus correctly on the target this goes away (also makes for a sharp dot when focus on the target rather than the spider web / star shaped dot)
