I mounted this on a 30mm 1-6X FFP LPVO, on a 16" 5.56mm rifle. After getting this zeroed it works, but zeroing was frustrating.
First the negatives...I have never spent so many rounds trying to zero an optic. First, you have to loosen the set screw and then figure out which way to adjust the turrets (hint...elevation: CW moves POI down, CCW moves POI up) (windage: CW moves POI left, CCW moves POI right). The increments marked on the turrets don't seem to have any specific interval either (I think the manual says something like "roughly 1/2 MOA" but I'm going off of my poor memory on that). Once I spent plenty of rounds figuring out the correct turret directions and got the POI to reasonably match my scopes original zero w/ the magnifier on, I found out that torqueing the set screw back down then throws it off again (both in elevation and windage). This led to an iterative process of loosening the screw, over-compensating the windage and elevation, then re-torqueing the screw in an attempt to have it end up sharing the same (approximately the same) zero as the base optic. After what I thought was too many rounds, I got it close enough.
Another thing I wasn't expecting was that this affected my diopter setting. When I first mounted this magnifier, the reticle and target were not both in focus any longer. I had to adjust my diopter to get the reticle and target in the same focal plane, then when removing it the original optic was out of whack. Ultimately,
