I simply can't get the barrel to stay locked, no matter how much I tighten this thing. Would not recommend.

I have a NIB BCG on my .223 rifle and when I shot my Seekins SP10 with the OEM BCG in it I was thinking about getting an upgrade for it. Well, after a light day of practice, the OEM BCG seized up, so I immediately ordered this one. Built like a tank and smooth as silk, requiring minimal lubrication...Loving it so far.

Thought this would be a good bolt handle, but no matter what I tried, it won't remain tight and becomes loose. Even loctite didn't do it. Now I can't send it back because I literally used pliers to try and tighten it, hoping it would remain tight...No go. Save your money on this one.

TRIJICON ACCUPOWER 1X4 OVERVIEW ($765)

I was hoping to LOVE the reticle, but unfortunately that was not the case. Basically, in daylight, there is NO illumination at all. The center dot is WAY TOO SMALL to be of any use, so in the end, you're looking at a very small dot in the center of a segmented circle. IF THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT, then this scope is for you. I wanted a DOT, not a really small reference point that wasn't daylight bright. The overall reticle was also just too small for me. Finally, a buddy told me that I would not be happy with a 4x scope and he was right. At 4x, even with the gorgeous glass, it's just not powerful enough for me. With all that said, I returned the Trijicon AccuPower and ordered the Leupold VX-6 Firedot BDC.

Glass: The glass was very good as it should be at this level of optic and price point. 1x seemed true.
Eye relief: Was very good, and optic was easy to stay behind
Magnification: 1x4 was just not enough for me...thought it might be but it's not
Adjustments: 1/4 MOA is fine, and was tight and tactile when adjusting. Capped turrets are nice feature.
On/Off: Off in between settings which can be nice to have, but that wasn't really important to me
Reticle: As I said before, little to NO illumination and the segmented reticle was just too small for me.
Illumination: At highest level or near highest level,
