No personal experience with them. Here is a review from AR15.com

I usually get opticsplanet.com to price match other sites and get the free shipping also.

Thanks for the link. I actually saw that not too long ago which made me want it in the fist place. Seemed like a good beginner/intermediate dot.

3 Rivers Precision gave me free shipping with it as well.

looks interesting. I would worry about the glass quality if you have parallax within 50 yds though. An inch at 50 yds isn't a huge issue, but its a systemic result of cheaper glass. It could be more difficult to get good focus at longer distances.

I don't have any time on this red-dot, but tons of hours on Aimpoints and other 1-4x scopes. Parallax free and everything is in focus regardless of the distance for the most part.

Just food for thought.

Its not as good as a Aimpoint Micro, but for the price there real nice.

Just got it over the weekend. Looks great so far for the price, nice and bright. Will have to go shoot with it soon.

So, NBui4, have you gotten to shoot with it yet? I'm seriously thinking about picking one of these up as well. Seeing how this sight plus a LaRue qd mount is still well under the price of an aimpoint.

Unfortunately not yet, all the reviews and videos I've watched on this say its GTG and stay sighted in with any bumps/drops etc. It's still not an Aimpoint, but good enough for the occasional shooter like me. Got a set of scope covers from Gander Mountain on sale for $10 a pair (#4 butler creek obj). Comes with a 2x screw on magnifier that makes the field of view really small. For now I'm satisfied with the mount as well which as a few different riser options for 1/3 or full co-witness. Brightness doesn't appear to be an issue. I also hear Vortex is very good with quality assurance/product replacement. About all I can say without taking it to the range. Will be sure to add more when I do.
