Sorry DT. It's not to bad. Good glass for the money. But not tacticool.
Eye relief is pretty good. I had it on my 870 sabot barrel but wanted to try a red dot so took it off. The one thing I learned though is I like illuminated rectical.

Just picked up the pistol lower tonight. I'll maybe put it all together this weekend. actually getting the parts didn't help me decide on the optics....now I'm thinking a 2 moa red dot with a 3x magnifier...

Deer hunting at 50-75 yards or so.

I think I'd do the same. It's a good time of year to pick up the aim point pros on sale and cabelas has a good sale on an eotech model. Can't go wrong with a quality dot on a AR pistol.

Sure you can...like dropping 350--450 on an aimpoint or eotech I think I'll keep my eye out for a sale or a used Nikon Slughunter. 200 new (at Natchez) or 160 like new (on gunbroker) gets me in a lot less trouble Stil less than a Primary Arms red dot + UTG magnifier (or at least the same ballpark) and probably better quality.

I have been hearing good things about the Vortex Sparc and Sparc II. Red Dots they run 150 to 200. Supposedly fairly rugged and hold zero.

I have read a few realistic "torture" tests and they did far above what I would have expected.

I will probably pick one up for a pistol or carbine when I can afford it.

With the recent builds and Christmas coming up it will be a while.

Dang holidays, wrecking all our fun! (grumble grumble... Get off my lawn you kids!)
