I have had this sight for less than a month and the dot began to flicker on and off intermittently; now, a few months later, it has stopped working altogether. As others have stated, zeroing this sight sucks, but is not impossible. Overall, if you get one that works, it is really a great sight, but I suppose it's a roll of the dice. Mine is going back to NcStar, but I may end up just selling it and saving up for a Burris or other more dependable sight. Take your chances...

Site is very bright in full light conditions, seems to keep a zero very well, and target aquisition is very quick. One complaint would be that if you have to change the battery/reseat the battery, it is difficult to keep in in the site during reattachment to the base. Overall it gets the job done and looks nice.

Requires tightening two lock screws after zeroing. Alas, tightening the lock screws throws zero WAY off. Not only that, but adjusting windage throws off elevation, and adjusting elevation throws off windage. Very bad design.

Overall, this product will meet your red dot sight needs. When I used it at the range, it was a bit difficult to get zero at first, but became easier as I got the hang of it. Once zero was achieved, it worked very well. The automatic brightness option was also helpful. It lets me see better on the shooting range when the lights are turned down for those wishing to practice with lower light. A good buy for someone wishing to get a good red dot sight without big problems.

Where to start describing the dissapointment after waiting for it to come in the mail. The dot is not really a nice crisp dot. Cannot really be accurately zeroed in except by luck because tightening down the Locking Set Screws moves the Reticle Plate and zero is lost. Takes many attempts to get the dot close to zero and frustration sets in. Looks cool on my Ruger but I'm going to buy another sight that holds adjustment. Automatic brightness works well but thereis no on-off switch. Instructions say putting on the protective cover (covering the light sensor), will turn sight off. It will not work in total darkness.
