I have used a number of different red dot "reflex" style sights from EOTech Holosights to the lower end NCStar red dots. I've gotta admit that I delayed purchasing this to mount on my Trjicon ACOG because of the price and not really knowing if the dot would be bright enough in daylight or even useable at dark and dusk. I got the 7 MOA because I wanted a bit more precision at 50-100 yds than I though a 9 MOA would give me. First off, Optics Planet at these at a very competitive price. When I got it (with the mount) attaching was a piece of cake and then away I went to sight it in. Got to to tell you that the bright is bright, very bright in daylight. In fact I think a larger dot would have been almost too bright. And the tritium source powers the dot extremely well at dusk/dark. Taking a gamble I took my first shots at an 8" steel silhouette at 60 yds and surprise .... surprise, I received a very satisfying plink. In fact I received 19 more satisfying plinks shooting center of mass. Needless to say I made no adjustments and have been extremely pleased with my purchase.
