I had mine mounted first on my Stag AR15 5.56 and it was dead on after sighting it in on zero at 25/50 yards. Then I could not see the target anymore but the use of different reticles increased accuracy on the 50 yd shots. Then I purchased a Colt AR 15/.22 and moved it to there while I await another to place back on my Stag. I am going to order another for my Ruger Charger. If it's not perfect, it's not a con because you only get what you pay for and you get alot for the small investment with this unit. I give it a thumbs up and reccomend it to anyone on a limited budget. Like me...

In my last review I thought the spring which holds vertical position was inadequate. On further inspection, I found the round lense was loose in the frame and flopping around which accounted for the continuing chang in the sight picture and lose of zero. The adhesive which holds the lense in the frame had failed and the nut which secures the lense was loose. Tried to tighten the nut but the tread on the nut was a smaller diameter than the thread in the frame. Applied super glue to the lense to secure in frame. Wrapped a thin layer of aluminum foil around the outside diameter of the nut to increase the thread diameter, applied super glue, and tightened the nut against the lense. I mounted on a 22 cal rifle and so far it has not failed again. Obviously, this is a poorly designed and manufactured product. I would not recommend purchasing unless you are into a lot of pain!

Ok at 50yds plus but too much parallax for my Buck Mark pistol at typical shooting ranges. Not parallax free as claimed. Not adjustable.

I wanted a lower priced red dot sight than my EOTech557 that I have on my AR15. So I purchased the ATN ultrasight for my Beretta Storm. Very nice qaulity for the money. I would purchase another, without a second thought. You my not be able to abuse it like an EOTech, but I'm careful with any scope or sighting system anyway.

After more than 8 weeks, ATN finally sent a replacement sight. I put it on the shelf as I did not need it at that time. Recently I purchased an SKS and put a Tapco stock on it. Needing a sight, I took the ATN off the shelf. It is mounted on the handguard rail on the Tapco stock set. Zero at 25 yards was easy. After about 10 rounds of 7.62x39 the sight picture and zero shifted and was off the paper at 25 yards. After a few more shots the sight picture returned to its original location and zero returned. A few more shots and the sight picture shifted again and I was off the paper. Found out that by depressing the spring which is supposed to hold the elevation zero several times I could get the sight picture to return to the zero position and I was back on the bull. I have concluded that the spring which is supposed to hold the elevation adjustment is not strong enough and allows the upper deck to move/vibrate relative to the base and throws off the zero and sight picture.
