Found this to be a very nice alternative/improvement over the other holographic sight (eotech) at a fairly significant discount (depends on sales and discounts of course). Love the rechargeable battery option, and function was excellent. Does have a shade of green to it, but in a pitch black room, does not appear to emit any light anywhere, (though I have heard that some earlier ones did, I can confirm that mine does not). It has most of the weaknesses (and consequently all of the strengths) of the holographic sight system, I wont go into details here, if you want to know the differences between holographic and standard red dot, a quick google/bing/yahoo(seriously, switch to google already) will illuminate the differences, and I will mainly lean people towards stand red dot when I can, especially with holosun having a red dot that functions very close to a holographic, but with significant advantages (ie, greatly increased battery life, better looking reticle), and vortex having a etched reticle red dot, which will function even if the battery runs out (with some modicum of disadvantages), holographics really just fill that niche, and this does the job with aplomb.

One note, while the mount of this optic is made for a standard picatinny, the sides extend down further than most mounts, meaning if you have a picatinny rail on a gun without adequate clearance beneath it (ie, ruger pc carbine, or any picatinny cut into a guns receiver and wider than an ar, you will find the o

Ive used a lot of nice scopes in the past and this one definitely exceeded my expectations by quite a bit. Unfortunately I do not still have a lot of my nicer scopes for a direct comparison, so this review is strictly from memory and from range time with is scope.

This is very handy for small jobs where you need a knife quickly, and with the design even if hands are wet or slimey it's easy to get a good and safe hold on the knife. Like the flat cutting side as well, a little knife does not work well with a curved blade. Little too aggressive in styling to leave dangling on neck at the workplace though, but how do you make a knife not look like a knife? A conundrum for someone else to solve, mainly stick to my pocket knife at work.

Normally I find that for every expensive well made item, there is a more moderate version somewhere that gets the job done just as well. That may be the case here depending on your usage, but for me, it was worth every penny, though optics planet did give me a bargain on mine. Mounts solid, easy to adjust, and level. Only trade off is if you dont want to level scope to rifle, then the built in level is not useful, but that is true of all scope mounts with built in levels, so...didnt count that as a con. If you plan on leveling with gun resting natural you will need to buy a seperate level and not use the one on the mount.

Only real con is the price, though it earns it

Always like vortex products and pleased that this one did not let me down. Just needed a simple mount for my 10/22 and this worked perfectly. Was easy to setup too. 22 doesnt have a lot of recoil, so I won't claim to have tested that end of it but I did give it the backpack test and it was secure and still on target, all I needed.

The number of options this set opens up is amazing. The only accessory I would recommend picking up for this set is the undersized mandrel in your caliber, as I have noticed at least on mine that the one included does not give enough neck tension. I dont use the factory crimp die, so your mileage may vary, it's still a nice option to have if loading for a semi auto.
