I bought this on a whim as I had 16 hours of rifle tactical training to go to. After many optometrist appointments and several retinal scans before the training, I already knew that even with my prescription safety glasses (which cost more than this optic), that most red dots did not appear like "a dot" for me. I gambled on this thing last minute and it held zero for two days in the mud, dirt, rain. I zeroed it at 50 yards in the training, and shot with it for 16 hours. I shot kneeling, prone, sitting, fetal position behind cover, etc. As long as I could get the sites on target, this thing was dead on every time. The bullet rise compensation was amazing for 5-7 yard head shots and was also dead on with 5.56 out of the box. For the money, if you are having issues with red dots, you should give this thing a try. The only downsides might be that the glass isn't quite as large as some of the holographic or open reflex sights, BUT, those are much pricier. You also can't use it with a magnifier.
