fast delivery and easy to setup.i put it on a jr carbine in 40s&w.get your first few shots on paper within 25 yds and you'll use alot less ammo from farther back while fine tuning.haven't tried switching the reticules to see if they hold the zero setting but what i set it on holds it's zero.i'm very happy with this item.

I bought this scope at the same time I bought my S&W 15-22. I didn't put a lot of thought into the scope. It is easy to mount on picatinny rails, easy to sight, seems to hold a zero. I like the choice of red or green, and four different reticles. The problem is the zero changes when you change reticles. The difference was 2-3" at 25 yards. Might as well have been a mile. If I remember to use the same reticle every time it seems to hold zero just fine.

I easily shot 2 to 4 MOA groups with this sight. It is easy to set up and use. I did notice that once zeroed you shouldn't change the type of reticle as it seems to change the zero slightly. No big deal, I just use the red dot anyway. Good product for the money.

As noted in other reviews, when adjusting the reostat, at the lower end the light source started to flicker and go off prior to the designated end, but also mentioned in other reviews was the fix, unscrew the battery cap and delicately adjust (pull out) the battery contacts so that they make good contact with the battery as you adjust the reostat.
