The good- 1/8 MOA adjustments with covered finger adjustable target turrets, very fine cross hair with center dot that doesn’t cover up small targets at distance, solid repeatable adjustments for windage and elevation. Clear and bright glass at low and medium power settings.

The bad – At high power settings, particularly over 16x, the view becomes distorted and has glare, and gets worse with every power setting up to 20x.

The bottom line is this a is a pretty decent variable to 16x scope with adjustable objective for the money if you can live with the obvious flaws with it, despite them it performs well enough I am not looking to get rid of it myself.

I saw this online and thought it was a good value. I looked at the MSRP and thought that this was a great deal. Save (…)? Well, let me tell you that on no planet is this a (…).

I received the unit and mounted it. On my first unit, the system never held its zero more than 10-20 rounds. There was a wobble in the mount and i had to take the unit apart and use some blue Loc-Tite. This solved the problem. However, after rebuilding the unit like it should have been built at the factory, I remounted on my AR-15. When remounting, one of the mounting bolts on the side completely sheared off. This rendered the unit useless. I received a replacement, and this too never could hold its zero. I returned it and upgraded to a Bushnell Trophy MP tactical. That unit is a quality “discount” optic. It by no means is in the same class as an EOTech, Aimpoint or the superb ACOG, but its a solid optic.

Don’t waste your time with this unit. Save up for another month and get the Bushnell Trophy MP Tactical, or wait even longer for the EOTech or Aimpoint.

This unit is a loser.

On another one of my reviews I received some criticism because the date on my reviews is confusing. I first purchased this item in July of 2009 and didn’t decide to do my review until December.

The only downside is that the zeroing process is a little troublesome (screw caps and 1/4 turns per inch) and after about 120 rounds, the reticle started to malfunction, the recoil must have caused the projector to come loose a bit.(due to rapid firing, I’m sure of it)

and it arrived late.
