I am new to red dot sights and magnifiers. However, I do have a good amount of experience with weapons. I am retired Marine Corps and retired law enforcement. I originally was trying to purchase the 3x mag with flip to side mount, but they were no where to be found and Eotech reps said they were 8-12 weeks out. So I started focusing on getting a 4x mag. Optics Planet was one of the few having them in stock. The service was great. The item was shipped and received in 2-3 days, since I was in a rush trying to get out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday to do some shooting. Everything was good in the package received except the mount. The mount was a very tight fit. So much so, that I needed a tool to un-pry the lever. That is why I gave a 4 above for usability. I did give a 5 for easy to set up mainly as a benefit of doubt, Optics Planet (OP) would have switched the mount or entire package. I did not try to switch the item because I was in a rush to go out of town and did some filing which took care of the issue. The item worked very well, however it did fog up a little while at the range. I was the only one at the range when it started snowing. Each time the glass fogged up It would clear fairly fast if I did not breath too close. But as soon as I got my cheek rest, it would fog up and I needed to get my shot of fast or it would not be visible. Anyway, I will contact OP to see if there is anything wrong since it is advertised as fog proof. Overall I am very happy with the product and would recommend it. Especially, since Eotech already has proven itself on the battlefield.
Pros: Overall, worked as advertised
Cons: None
