Great product, excellent quality. Mounted to a Daniel Defense Ambush 300 Blackout. Sighted product in less than five minutes. Used UTG Low Profile riser to perfectly co-witness sight with Diamondhead iron sights. Sight has held its aimpoint through 300 rounds with no issues. Slight starburst for me (my eyes), but freinds with better eyesight claim to see a single sharp dot.

Very disappointed with the DeltaPoint Red Dot. Size, mounts, glass and housing all a 10. The Torque Screws are a nightmare, especially if you have big hands. You feel as though they will get stripped with pressure and can't Feel the adjustment, just free turns. Slight Starburst effect also. Returning

I had read previous mixed reviews on the Web of this, but decided to take the plunge since I own other Leupold products that I've considered top notch and and are synonymous to the name. First Red Dot came in, sure enough I am another victim of the Star-Burst effect that others wrote reviews of, I am very disappointed, yet hopeful that I may come across a good unit (because build quality looks great) so I return it for an exchange. 2nd unit comes in and the Red Dot is a lot better and more defined, unfortunately I have to exchange it again because it was boxed incorrectly and I didn't have the unit with all the mounts (I wanted to keep the sight and simply have them ship me the mounts & hardware). I get the 3rd unit (2nd exchange), and the Dot is ALOT worse than the first unit. Bad definition, and the star burst effect was present even in nominal light conditions. I gave up and sent it back for a refund. Kudos to OpticsPlanets Customer Service and helping me out through this ordeal! ...

I love this sight. I debated about spending the money for this sight. I wanted the best with a good guarantee. I got what I paid for. The first sight did not work properly. One call to Leupold and the problem was solved. Within 7 days I had a new working sight. Zeroing was no problem. Absolutly love this sight and Leupolds customer service. Don't go cheap. If you want the best from a company that stands behind their products get Leupold. Get off your wallet and buy one, it doesn't get any better than this. Did I mention I love this sight.

I don't regret buying this red dot in the least but it is expensive. I put it on a AR-15 platform at an angle attached to a varible magnification scope. Its amazing, quarter size groupings at 35 yrds. My only concern is that when its time to replace the battery do I have to resight in the scope again? One has to take the scope completely off the scope mount to get to the battery. Eventually I'm going to find out. Keep the "Leupold Allen Wreches" with you at all times and don't lose them. They don't sell those at the local hardware store.

Pros:  durable, size, weight, dot size and clarity
Cons:  adjustments, flashing
Would recommend:  yes

Well constructed and durable sight. I like that it is waterproof. The glass seems like it will hold up well and is very clear. Light, small and the dot looks great. I dont like the tiny allen wrench adjustments, and it takes a bit of time to sight in. It had minor flashing above the dot in all lighting conditions, not too distracting for me, but maybe for some. Mounted well on a GG&G BComp mount which was attached at a 45 degree angle to a Nightforce scope. I was also told by Larue Tactical that it will fit their LT-137 mount.

Nice solid build. Very compact. It would be nice to have an on/off switch, but I haven't had any battery issues, so no real complaints there.

Pros:  Sight works great, mounts on a picatinny rail very easily.
Cons:  Mounting systems did not fit my Springfield 1911, and they don't sell any additioinal mounts. Pain to adjust the sight. Wrenchs and screws seem cheap.
Would recommend:  yes

The sight is nice, but mounts didn't fit on what I bought it for. No off switch which means your must take the battery out to prevent the motion sensor from activating it. Not very easy to adjust. You need wrenches to adjust the tiny screws which feel like either they or the wrench is going to strip.

The firstst one I purchased I sent back to Leupold, they sent me a new one and it is worse than the first. The dot is like a big dash and in bright light I get a star burst effect. I wouldn't rec theis to anybody.
