Overall a great scope for the price. Yeah it doesn’t have all the fancy
bells and whistle, and yeah its not built by a company a lot of people
recognize. However I have greatly enjoyed it. It was actually
recommended by my platoon sergeant who sniper qualified and won one at a
sniper comp.

Pros
Price is good for the work that you buy.
Sturdy as hell, I’ve had it over here in country four months, banged
around in the back of a MRAP and everything else, and it still has its
zero.
Quality work, good clear Carl Zeiss glass, and I love the reticule. I
have the CQM one that has a range estimated inside (guy fits inside this
circle he’s 300m, etc).
The horse shoe in the center is nice for quickly acquiring a target, but
you still have cross hairs with mils and a point for longer distance.
Cons
The battery for
the illumination is not a common one, therefore you may spend some time
looking for it.
Though a great price there are a lot of bells and whistles you could get
for more money… but that’s if you want/have the money to spend.
Requires an allen wrench to adjust the zero… so make sure you have one
handy, and don’t lose it like I did.
Might be considered a little bulky on an M-4, but I don’t really mind
and have gotten accustomed to it.
Bottom Line
A great scope that
I love and defiantly going to hold onto. Recommend it to any one who
wants a quality scope, but doesn’t want to lose an arm for it.
