I bought this sight for my AK-47, mounted on a UTG side-rail optics mount. Put simply, this sight does exactly what it's supposed to do: it puts the dot on what you want to shoot. Sure, the dot's not quite as crisp as a 600$ Eotech, but you paid 30$ for it. Even with my AK, which has quite a bit of recoil, it's kept its zero after 200 rounds. I recommend it if you're on a budget.

I just recived this in the mail, went to put on my A5 which it says it is for and it does not fit on my rail the screws that go through will not let it sit on the rail low enough to grip on to the rail! It seems like good item if it was able to on my gun!

The sight started out working very well. The sight was clear, with a sharp point and a nice field of view.
Once sighted in, it was helping me hold a 3/8" group @ 10 meters with Beeman 14.66g domed pellets.

The adjustments were not as sharp and crisp as an expensive scope, but hey, you get what you pay for.

It was rated for a crossbow or spring-type air rifle and that is the reason I bought it.
I did not realize that the RWS Diana 34, a spring-type air gun, was more violent than most.

After 300-400 shots, the sight died and will not hold a pattern.

I liked how it behaved, right up until the end, where my "normal" use I killed it.

I think mine was defective because I had to keep on retightening the clamps for the weaver mount every time I shot with my nitro piston bb gun. The red dot did not line up in the middle either. No matter how hard I cranked the knobs it wouldn't reach the center. This looks like a very nice product but watch out for the defects. I didn't send mine back because it makes a very nice spotting scope and the batteries that are included work with my smaller red dot sight.

It does not fit the carver one paintball gun. But if I had a different gun it would have been a really good sight. I like how they added the lenses that make like binoculars. :o

It has practically turned my H&K MP5 BB CO2 into a "tack driver" at 30 feet or less. A real boon for aging eyes, under all light conditions. Obtaining ZERO is a cinch. One small flaw on mine is that the rheostat was extremely difficult to turn. A few drops of CORROSIONX, carefully applied, has eased that considerably.

I use this product on an Airsoft AEG. Initially I bought it because it looked cool on the gun and the price of the product was fantastic.

The fit and finish of this thing is simply awesome. It is all metal with a flat black finish. It feels substantial (not some plastic toy). It comes with two batteries, one installed and another packed with the sight.

When I first got the thing, I was playing with it to figure out the dials and mounts. I put back in the box, and by mistake, I left it on. Two days later I opened it to mount it on the AEG and it was still working. That weekend, I played an Airsoft game (all day) using the sight with the same battery. It was hot and humid on the field and this thing never fogged. I cannot say the same for my stupid goggles.

In bright light and low light, this thing works great. Make sure you mount it high. Either on the rail mount riser platform, or on top of the carry handle (if you are using an M4).

This is a good upgrade for someone looking for improved accuracy from Tippmann 98. I found open sights of 98 model uncomfortable to use and upgraded to this scope. It's pretty basic and does not have a scale or something to help you zero it in for different distances. You just have to get used to compensating for distance. You will get a decent accuracy with straight line of sight. I was able to take out 3 people with less than 20 balls. However don't expect perfect sniper accuracy, not with paintballs that don't want to fly straight by design. Don't expect quick shots - mask does get in the way (I suggest getting a low profile stock... maybe JCS Combat folding stock with RVA), so if you are detected before you get into position you will get shot by a person that can shoot faster. I like transparent covers - I keep them on and pray that some ball does not destroy them (they don't look very tough). The price is right and construction feels solid. Overall it is decent inexpensive scope - good match for an inexpensive marker like T98 (compared to A5 of course).
