I've never owned one of the expensive brands of reflex sights so I don't have much to compare to but for what I bought this sight for (my SKS), it is perfect. A simple red dot for about 100 yard average shooting, with great features for a pretty low price. Incredible.

I really like this red dot scope. Works well and is a very good value for the money. Compared to an Ehotec this thing works just as good. It may not look as cool and be as bomb proof but still functions just the same.

Mounted on Ruger Target 10/22 20" bull barrel to replace bulky target scope. Changing carbine configuration to use in Steel Challenge 20-75' range At 25 yards, bench rested, first unit would not zero on 3 reticles, but came "close enough" to use on steel. 4th reticle would move POI 6" right & 4" down...or 5" right & 2" down....or 7" right & 3 inches up.....Returned for refund. Dealer gave no hassle replacement of same model and BORE SIGHTED. 1st Range trip with new unit took 200 rounds to get within 2" of POA....at 25 FEET bench rested! THIS is on a 10/22 that was regularly grouping 25 shots into under 1" at 50 yards when using a 6-24x44 target scope, now unable to even get IN a 2" bulls eye at 25 feet! All four reticles did give similar groups, which I was willing to try on the Steel Match as targets are 6-12" at close range and only need to ding the target. 2nd range trip found dead battery. 3rd range trip with new battery, checked out before leaving to go ...

This is a great sight,especally for the price. Great durable general purpose reflex sight. Easy to install and use. Multi brightness and rectle are a plus. The only Con I can give this sight is its size. Its not the most compact design; but that really dosen't affect performance. WELL WORTH PRICE!!!

I wish the manufacture would provide dimensions for the weaver mount. I was mounting on a hand gun and had to modify the mount when I found that the dimension was .06 too large. In length. Otherwise great sight.

I purchased for my DPMS AR-15. This is a great sight. I mounted it and had zero in 12 shots. The sight held zero while I shot close to 200 rounds. The unit is solid and is constructed well. The operation is simple. I was shooting on a very sunny day and the reticle is bright and clear. I am very happy with this product and would recommend it. I plan on buying a second one soon. Ordering from Optics Planet is easy and they ship fast. Thanks again! AB

So far I have purchased 5 of these exact units. Sold one to a friend after he used it on my S&W 22a and really liked it. For me it is the difference between shooting 3 inch groups and quarter size groups. Plus you can keep both eyes open unlike using a scope. I am sure there are better units for lots more dollars but this is just fine for my target shooting.
