"Absolutely fantastic scope. Its clear and has beautiful eye relief. I put it on my tokyo marui scar-h and it was a little wobbly, but this was fixed by putting an incredibly small amount of paper towel between the scope and rail. This is not visible and completely gets rid of the wobble.
Pros:
Clear, good eye relief, looks great on scarh
Cons:
Slight wobble (just put a small quater sized cloth or paper towel between rail and scope to fix)

"TL:DR
Works Well on Real Steel. Sits SOLID on the top. Holds Zero. Even after a bunch of light bonks with a screw driver.
Eye relief isn't as "bad" as people claim it to be. For 180 bucks this is 100% worth it to substitute a $2600 Optic. Sits REALLY solid on the rifle. No wobble. I'll repeat that... there isn't a wobble.
IDK why people are saying there is a wobble. I can literally pick up my rifle by the scope.

"I have had this on my M249 for over 2 years now and I am loving it.

"Fantastic scope. Holds zero no matter how many times i switch magnification. Great field of view. Eye relief is a little small but every scope has its own, you just have to adjust your stock and stance to match. first time i installed it it was way off to the right, undid the quick release, re tightened it and it fit better. It is heavy, but this scope has no color shift in the lens, so you get perfect clarity, not some blue or reddish tint that causes you to loose sight of your bbs at 80 feet.

"This is a amazing sight if you are looking for a new sight for your lmg because i think that it would be to heavy and big for a assault rifle or a sub machine gun. I have not had any problems with it except for the facter that its a little wobbly when it is mounted your rail. Not really a big deal tho.
Pros
Full metal
Nice sight
Good zoom
Heavy (could be a bad thing for some people)
Cons
Wobbls when on mount
Heavy (could be a good thing)
kinda big (not a big deal)

"I bought one a while back and only had one word to say, WOW! The optic was tight and secure on my limited edition iar rails, never got off target, and never gave me any probloms with anything.
I give it an 12/10. Defonetially recomend it for indoor or out door, for indoor would recomend an mesh lense protector. I got one and it saved me two or three times

"I bought this for my Airsoft M249 rifle. However, as a fun project, I have mounted this on my Daniel Defense AR-15 (real steel) for about 500 rounds fired and it is still working as expected.

"This is my update for this scope, I usually use it only for x4 because its airsoft and you can see the bbs.
Pros:
-good build quailty
-clear sight picture
-good eye relief about (1-3 in)
-LOOKS COOL AS HECK
Cons:
-mount was alittle loose (i added superglue on the mount screws and added thin cardboard under it to eliminate the wobble, so easy fix)
-when switching to 4 to 1 the 1x is in a completely different place......
-ZEROING was hard as heck to do if you dont know what the heck to do, like me.
So what you do is unscrew the flathead screw on the left of the scope. Then adjust the two hole screw on the left to zero it and then tighten the flathead screw to keep zero
All in all great and cool scope to get

"This sight is awesome! Played all day yesterday with it and am extremely impressed. I was worried about spending so much on a scope, but I am very happy with it, and would definitely buy again in the future. This does 1x or 4x, there is no in-between.
PRO:
-Very sturdy
-Surprisingly open field of view/eye relief
-Great crosshair, very clear
-Quick release levers
-Looks better than any sight on the field
-Easy, fast zoom feature.
CON:
-Not a good reflex sight. Even though it goes down to 1x, you will not be able to shoot with both eyes open as you would with a reflex red dot. Keep one eye closed when lining up your target and you are good.
-Illumination is very dim, which is no big deal to me as the crosshair is a black rangefinder type cross.
-Only has red illumination, there is no green like it shows in picture. But on the plus side the reticle it actually comes with is not depicted, but is fantastic.

"Got my scope yesterday and placed it on my WE Tech G39K to complete the KSK look of my rifle. I have to say this looks insane on my G39K. The case for the scope is excellent, the build quality is great minus the front backup built in iron being loose. I love this scope, however, I have not zeroed this scope yet. Its an excellent edition to complete any modern special operations style loadout, including one like the German KSK. I love this scope the eye relief is great, its easy to mount and its solid. I would recommend this scope to anyone who wants to make a Special Forces style loadout.
Pros:
Well built
Solid
Great eye relief
Excellent clear reticle on either the 1 power or the 4 power setting
Dot is extremely bright even in the brightest of light
Cons:
Adds weight to the rifle, not really a con but, with a lightweight rifle it adds weight.
Loose front sight post, not really a problem but still.
Overall I would recommend this scope to any and all players who want a special forces loadout, or who want to improve their game or their existing rifle's. I'm going to make one more recommendation, use it on a gas rifle, it makes the gas rifle's way more exciting to use.

-The PRICE! This scope is Under priced. Trust me.
Cons

-don't put this on a Scar-H you may have a heart attack cause it looks insane.
9.5/10 -because of the eye relief.. Not terrible but okay. (That's the only thing i can think of as a Con)

"it looks Blocky, but. On the flip side. It weighs less then a Repo 552+FTS scope.
team pooled money to test one out to see if there where advantages over the previously mentioned set up.
TONS. The weight is a few ounces less, the Lenses are CRISP AND CLEAR, the magnifcation dosen't bounce like with most ACM FTS magnifier's
And its DAMN close to 1x, its like 1.2x then 4x Im NOT complaining about, it can be shot with both eyes open/without throwing your depth perception off.
We did not have any issues with a traveling zero as long as the Lever was thrown all the way over. if it was half tossed, then the zero would be off (of course).
Bottom line. Had no issues mounting on an AGM 416, Trigger Happy Krebs Kit, Or G&P Reciver's the QD lever's are semi adjustable for those with off spec rails. We did everything except test it on a .223 AR-15.
Zero didnt move on a King Arms GBBR. Worth the $150 (or $120 with there coupons)

"I love this scope! I have it mounted on my limited edition HK417 and it compliments it perfectly. The adjustable zoom makes it versatile for any airsofting situation. While the illumination on the crosshair is nice I've yet to find a need to use it yet.

"I bought this scope a while ago for my modified AUG. I have come to really like this scope. The eye relief is a little far back for me, but it's perfectly fine. The scope is somewhat heavy, but I only use it in DMR situations so it's fine. If you are considering buying a scope, get this one. I have tried many other scopes, but I prefer this one.
Pros:
Cheap (for a scope this awsome)
Illuminated
Variable zoom
Sturdy and durable
Cons:
Heavy
Get this.
