Lucid hits a home run with micro dot - LUCID Optics M7 Micro Dot Sight - 2 MOA Dot, 25 MOA Circle L-M7

This is an incredible bargain for a quality micro dot. I call it a "poor man's Aimpoint micro." It's that good. No, it will probably not survive the Daniel Defense torture test (google that if you don't know) but for 99% of us, it has everything. Very rugged. Excellent circle dot reticle. I love all the extra functions such as auto brightness with manual over-ride and auto shutdown after two hours. Very simple to operate, simple to sight in. It will hold zero on a tactical shotgun shooting heavy slug loads. AAA battery is a great choice. Available everywhere 24/7/365. The emitter is so tiny and so well hidden down at 6 o'clock that I can't even see it unless I cant the optic up. My only criticism is that to run it on an AR you must use a small riser. You ought not have to pay extra for it, and the optional one looks sort of weird with its I beam design. Excellent new entry that will more than hold its own in a crowded and generally inferior market price point.
Pros: Solid Construction, great reticle choice, quality glass, invisible emitter diode, auto illumination and auto shut down
Cons: Should come with a riser without charge
