I'm no expert but seen a few new ones on EE for a tad cheaper still in wrapped package. No tax but shipping and hasn't been handled by who knows who.

yes it would be too much.
i've used a cq/t for 7-8 years. would much, much prefer an ACOG or 1-6 variable. |

Looks like there are not a lot of other first hand accounts...my take (very limited use because I don't get much chsnce to shoot...): It's a nice clear optic. It's heavy. Battery life (by reports..not firsthand) sucks. For what I wanted it was fine. If I was putting it on an AR...I'd go with a very good 1-4 (or 1-6) optic. Illum or not. I didn't compare to my Leupy VX-R in clarity, but the VX is lighter by almost a half pound... |

I loved mine, I called it the crew-served optic (heavy and huge), but it was a solid optic.

"solid" is exactly the right word for it on multiple levels. but at that price point, i don't think it compares favorably to the ACOGs that run a few hundred more, or to the short variables that run a few hundred less. there was never a time when i was shooting and thought "this is the greatest optic ever!" always wanted more magnification or less, faster acquisition, finer POA, and dear god please a larger eyebox. but yeah, you could successfully use it to drive tent stakes or bludgeon goats. |

Can't disagree, but I liked mine....I got a smoking deal on it, so I felt for the price I paid it didn't have much of an equal for all around carbine use, but I wouldn't pay $8 bills for one....better options nowadays. |
