Product review (1 stars): Awful dot definition... and disappearing dot.
The dot quality on this optic is terrible even at the lowest visible setting. It has a lopsided, starburst appearance that looks like a sloppy spray paint mark. I tried a few different brands of new batteries to no avail. Mounted on an Ultimak rail very far forward and the dot still looks very unclear. I wasn't expecting much from an $85 optic but this is disappointing. I gave it two stars (*originally) because the overall construction is good. Personally, I could really care less about how good it looks if it functions poorly...... And now, four months and maybe six to seven hundred rounds later the dot is beginning to disappear during range sessions. It disappears when a round is fired and pops back on when another round or two is fired, or sometimes from the trigger reset. I haven't been rough with this thing. Casual air conditioned range sessions of 60-150 rounds where they might send you home if you accidentally drop your mag on the ground so again, I have not abused this thing. Premium batteries replaced often. The moral of the story is send your warranty card in which I failed to do because I trusted all of the rave reviews. Oops.
