I have tried this on three long guns: .22, 9mm, 7.62x39 - after 1-3 shots it's dead. I change the battery and will work again. Worked on a pellet gun! It is very limited for the $, The optional reticlas are nice along with the brightness settings. Easy to use...there are better options.

I have had and used this reflex site on my 20 gauge 1187 for ten years. I have killed guessing 25 to 30 deer with this combination. Liked it so much put same thing on dad's 12 gauge. Unlike others mine has held accuracy over the past decade. Dad has a harder time seeing in bright light so his is always on max light and tends to go through battery in 3 days. Unfortunately I finally experienced the lense popping out on opening deer season day. Iowa has a very short first season and I had a beautiful buck at 80 yards broadside and nothing I could do about it. Throwing this away and attempting to sight in new scope while I should be blasting at deer. So mixed review for me. It did last 10 years

I first bought this optic for my 12 gauge it worked fine I then changed it to my AR initially I had trouble with it holding a zero until I noticed on the right side of the optic there is a tiny tiny set screw that is there for after you zero it in find the smallest and I do mean the SMALLEST flat head screw driver you can find and tighten the set screw for the elevation because if its the least bit loose when you fire your weapon the recoil will bump the elevation little by little with each shot making it not hold a zero make sure the set screw is tight and it will hold a zero fine hope this helps.. PS funny none of this information is in the manual lol
Pros:
- Great sight lots of options for reticles
Cons:
- No information in the manual about the small set screw that needs to be tightened down for your weapon to hold a zero trust me it was a pain in A$$ and I wasted a lot of ammo until I figured it out
Best Used for:
- I've used mine on my 12 gauge no problem and my AR with no problems
Would recommend: Yes

Bought new. Inserted battery. Reticle light stays on and will not turn off when turned to ZERO setting (or any other setting). Have to remove battery to turn off. Junk. Don't bother purchasing. Disappointing.

This thing, like other Barska products, is a total piece of junk. The very first time I tried to change the battery, the battery case broke and the sight became worthless. I did not force it or cross thread it: It just broke with normal use. Barska customer service was likewise worthless. Be wise: spend a little more to get a well-made product, and leave Barska junk where it belongs: in the garbage.

At first inspection, the sight looks good. After turning the sight on the images were so weak you could hardly see them in the outdoor sun light. This is a bad deal. For $69.00 I feel I got took. I'll never buy a Barska sight again!

Bought this sight not even 24 hours ago,I threw it on my ar15 300 black out and i completely regret buying it. Zerod the sight yesterday and today about 5 hours ago and went to the range and shot maybe 5 rounds and noticed it wasn't lined up with my barrel and I was hitting way left, so I did a quick "zero" if you could call it that with my pop up sights and Rezerod thinking maybe I moved it handling the sight, took a couple more shots and same story so I zerod it again and just watched the cross move about a quarter inch (on the glass itself) after every shot and did this until the cross was completely out of my shot picture. Well now back at how monkeying around with it I have found out its not the equipment that holds the zero being defective its the projector itself because as of now the sight is pegged to the right and down and my cross is barely visible on the bottom right corner. So if you plan on getting a sight save up get something decent, luckily I had my pop up sights and I didn't lose a days shooting because my optic failed.
Pros:
- Cheap
- Tacticool
- Looks burty gud
Cons:
- A banana holds a better zero
Would recommend: No

I give this product a 3 star to BEGIN with. Why ? you might ask...
Here's why. I haven't used it yet, but I did take about an hour to familiarize myself with it before making an pre-assessments.
I read all the reviews on this site and came up with this simple conclusion... those of you that are complaining about the site "not holding zero" are a bunch of bozo's. If you read the instructions and actually looked at the site you'll see that there's two set screws that lock down the elevation and windage adjustment screws to prevent that from happening! A dab of lock tight on those particular screws wouldn't hurt I'm betting to give yourself some extra insurance. Same for the ones complaining about breaking the elevation screw. could be your set screw was cinched down on it and was preventing it from moving at all, bunch of Homer Simpsons is all I can say and be nice at the same time.
As for the lens falling out? I don't have an answer for that one yet but will make a point of keeping an eye on it. (should be easy enough right?)
I'm going to put this on my FAL .308 tonight and try it at the range this weekend, I'll be back to write another review on it. If it falls apart or doesn't function right, I'll eat my words but gonna give it a go anyway!

I bought this for my WASR10/63. It was something like $45 at a local sproting goods store (not sure why they are $30 more on here). For some reason I figured I could have my cake and eat it too, but of course, this is not the case. It would not hold a zero because The screws holding the sight together starting loosening after about 30-40 rounds... Then, the reticle disappeared altogether. It would come back on intermittently, but after a bit, it finally died and left me sightless at the range (My fault there for not mounting BUIS, but I digress). I'll keep it for use on a .22 maybe, but for the AK47 I think I will step my optics game way up.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Cheap
Would recommend: No
