Overall pretty satisfied.Don't like the fact that the reticles have a locking point on base. After multiple shots the reticle tends to move. Not for competition.

DO NOT BUY!!! Major Parallax Issue. I just received this sight today and I installed it on my M&P 15 AR. The parallax issue is huge, it is not possible to get the sight to sit still. Just by moving my cheek a small amount the sight moves all over the place. Even with my cheek planted firmly against the stock you still get major parallax issues. In addition the red sights are very blurry.

Now I'm not saying it will be good for you BUT for the $$ its a good buy in my book. With that said you will have to do a modification to it if you want to use this sight or any other reflex optic for that matter ( regardless of the make ) in an outdoor setting. Within the battery compartment lays the voltage divider circuit board which limits the current supplied by the 3v battery to the 3v LED which provides the light for the rectile. The circuit board is secured in with a brass ring that has two notches. This ring is the cause for so many complaints about the optic either not working or failing after several rounds. This ring, screws on the same threads as the batterycap and must be securely tightened as it is the contact point for the common leg of the voltage divider board. When it backs off ( loosens ) it fails to make contact and the sight doesn't work. This is very easily solved by simply snugging the ring up with a small flat-head screwdriver, but be carful not to torque it too ...

I ordered this along with a handle mount for an AR-15. Both were exactly what I wanted. The pricing on the scope was very reasonable. I received it and the mount quicker than fast. It was sudden! I'm waiting for the heat to break before I take it to the range to try it out.
