Barska m16 electro sight - Barska 1x30 Illuminated Tactical Red Dot Rifle Scope w/ 3X Magnifier

I mounted this sight on my Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22. This is a .22 caliber so I figured this sight could handle that. There were plenty of good reviews along with some bad, guess I got a bad one. It mounted easily, looked great and was very simple to sight in. I actually like the adjustment knobs wit the aluminum caps. Everything was just great for the first 500-600 rounds, then it went south real fast. At first I would take a shot and the center red dot would disappear, take another shot and it would reappear, then it started to happen to other dots on the horizontal part of the reticle. Then I started getting a red glare or shadowy affect on the inside top of the sight, then all of my shots at 100 yards were about 4-6 inches to the left. I'm sure they were off at 50 as well, I didn't try. Obviously something in there came loose, there is no way this thing can handle recoil of anything larger than a .22, it didn't even do very well with that. I ended up going with the 4x28 IR electro, I'll see how that one does. All Barska reticles in their red dot sights are really horrible, canted reticles, double dots, ghost images. YUK... The 4x28 so far looks good, I like that it has a standard mil non lighted reticle. I haven't shot it yet, sight it in this weekend.
Pros: Price, easy set up.
Cons: Horrible electronics, can't handle recoil.
