Mounted on an AR-15 shooting .223 at 300yds. Firing 20 rounds benchrest scored 193/200 with 7x's. But advertized as .5MOA, I zeroed on x at 100yds then went up 10 clicks and fired a group 6.25+/- inches higher meaning my sight is .625MOA per click not .5 A fantastic sight and the price is just great.

Nice red dot in all. But just as the reviews mentioned you will want to use better scope rings. I invested in a $35 pair which have double screws on them, securing the scope tightly on my Saiga 12 gauge. Works real well with two eye operation.

I bought one of these replacing 2 different holographic red dot sights I was using on a Ruger Mark III 22/45. Like everyone else says, The stock rings are a joke. Use em for a keychain or somthing. Mines mounted on a Volquartsen Picatinny rail using the 30mm Burris Xtreme tactical rings. A Note of Importance!! These rings will fit using this setup but you have to remove rubber eyepeice off when clamping down! Tighten and put the rubber eyepeice back on and done! Fits but just barely and looks great. Performance wise, Dot is Very Bright, Keeps zero with better rings!! Plus polarized filter and extention tube is bonus! Very happy with this set up and looks Killer!!

Pretty good overall, with good battery life, bright enough display to see in bright sunlight (with the sunshade attached), and multiple reticles. The parallax is bad enough that it can shift my POI by 3+ inches at 100 yards though - if I'm shooting for groups I have to make sure and not come up off the rifle between shots or group movement can be severed. Also the final notch on both reticle settings doesn't like to lock in every time, so you kind of have to rock the knob back and forth until it settles into place. For what I paid though it seems like a good enough deal, mounted it on top of my converted Saiga and it does the trick nicely for if I'm too lazy to use the iron sights.

Pros:  Works in Bright Light, Cost Effective
Cons:  Polarizing filter is snap fit and popped out using a .460 S&W pistol
Would recommend:  yes

Have tried a number of red dot sights priced up to $ 400.00 and this one stands out. When using it in bright light and snow the dot remains visible. In some part this is due to the lens coating but the effect is also enhanced by use of a screw in polarizing filter which was also supplied. Further enhancing the value is the choice of four different reticules to match different shooting conditions. Did add a small amount of silicon seal around the edges of the press fit polarizing filter ( Inside a separate screw in mount ) to keep it from popping out. Use this on a Smith & Wesson .460 handgun with great results. Due to the low mass of the sight itself the mounting rings do not in my opinion need to be heaver. Have also tried this on a .375 H&H and .416 Rigby rifle just for fun. With a rifle it shoots 2-3" groups at 100 yards. Personally I think the best applications would be for up to 75 yards maximum and most likely 50 yards or less. It really is ideal for .17 HMR. .17 MACH 2, ...

Great choice of reticle options but upgrade to stonger rings for 12 ga or magnum guns.
