When I saw this package deal back in December I jumped on it because, although I had always toyed with the idea of a setup like this for my AR, it's not something I pursued with any vigor. So, with opportunity knocking, I took the plunge.
Let me first say that the scope itself, the dot sight, and the mount are all good quality and likely very durable. I have no issues with those individually. And, I could have left it in the exact configuration it was in as delivered and been pretty darn happy! But, it didn't seem ideal to me and so I did some tinkering by moving the dot sight forward in hopes that I could better access the sight's controls. As it was originally, I could not access the controls with my finger at all and, the dot sight was in a rather precarious position near the ejection port when mounted to the correct eye relief on my AR. Now at least, I can access it an emergency with a finger, although I normally use a small tool of some sort to make it easier, and the dot sight is well clear of the ejection port. Having never really researched this type of setup before, it seems likely that there must be something a bit more efficient in this regard. Perhaps a bit longer mount would be helpful, for example.
Also, when I started looking at the various components on different websites, as well as this one, this package deal seemed like less of a bargain (though a bargain still) than I originally thought. I allowed my eagerness to get the best of me.
