Defective out of the box. - OpticsPlanet Exclusive SightMark Ultra Shot Plus Red Dot Reflex Sight

Got this for for my SDS S12 (saiga 12 clone) because I wanted a holographic sight but didn't want to spend pretty much double what the gun itself costs on an eotech. Read plenty of reviews and decided to go with this one. The first thing I noticed after powering it on is that there was a very noticeable reflection from the projector right under the reticle... I'm assuming I got a dud that slipped through QC because I've never had an optic do that. I even have an ebay knock off eotech that I use on a .22 that has a way more clear reticle with no reflection whatsoever. Everything else about it seems solid, overall build quality is decent and it does look nice on the gun. It has held up and held zero so far after about 100 rounds of buckshot and slugs so I'll give it that. But, I won't really be impressed until its got 1k+ rounds and is still holding up. I would return it but it's not really worth the trouble. I'm only using the gun I bought this for as a range toy so it should suffice for that purpose. Definitely wouldn't recommend this optic for any serious applications.
