Most Helpful Positive Review Best in class at the price
I think very highly of this company as it seems they have budget in mind while delivering excellent optics. I own and have used several enclosed red dot optics that have a circle dot reticle and I can honestly say this bad boy hangs with them all and beats the pants off of a romeo5 or similar. Not to mention it comes with a 1913 riser and an acro footprint. Very versatile. Strong glass, great build quality, and a shake awake technology. Look at the price and tell me why you would go with something at a higher price point.

by Victor Despradel, Verified Owner from AR, United States Written on June 26, 2025

Pros:
  • Price
  • Secure Adjustments
Cons:
  • Red dot not aligned
Best Used for:
  • anything

Good quality optic

by Dustin, Verified Owner from WI, United States Written on May 8, 2025
Seems very well built and I don't think you are going to beat the price. The field of view is about half of similar holosun so if you are looking for extremely fast target acquisition this is not what you are looking for.
Pros:
  • good value
Cons:
  • Tiny field of view
Best Used for:
  • Standard range use
Would recommend: Yes

i love this optic

by Chris S, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on January 20, 2025
Let’s be real. This is a Kraken clone - and it’s awesome! I have tried other optics with the same profile and feature and the clarity on this optic is fantastic. Buttons are great and adjustments all click nicely. Installed on combat elite, fits nicely. Saved a few $ and all the same features as the big brand name optic.
Pros:
  • clear glass
  • sharp reticle
  • saved $
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Pros:
  • Price and warranty
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • PCC platform
Would recommend: Yes

Better than I thought it would be

by JB, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on January 11, 2025
Didn’t except much but gave it a try for the price. I put it in a pistol, had to buy and adapter plate to do so, because it doesn’t come with one. Basically zeroed out of the box. Around 300 rounds no issue. If you are buying Chinese seems to be a good option.

Gideon Mediator just works.

by shuggah, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on November 6, 2024
Wanted green, watched my estimated ship dates move, and move.. Can't do it again. Switched to red (in stock) and am currently doing my eval. So far, everything works for a light/med duty application. Doesn't feel cheap, We will have to see if it holds up. Just seems to work at a budget price point. Shake awake is great, and it should be the industry standard now.
Pros:
  • budget friendly
  • Shake awake
  • Comes with riser
  • Clear dot matrix
Cons:
  • Small viewing window
  • Not a green dot
Best Used for:
  • Light to medium usage
Would recommend: Yes

Good starter optic for the price

by Mike, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on May 17, 2024
The only complaint I have so far is that the field of view is smaller than what I would expect I. Todays modern optics. That’s more of my fault than the performance of the optic.
