I have one on my .45ACP AR. Works well, but definitely needs Loctite on the screws for the mounts.

You'll need to pony up for the membership, that thread is in the archives now.
I have a SPOT, it is good to go. I haven't felt the need to abuse mine like was done in the torture test

You can afford a $1000 rifle but you can't spend $25 to support the best place to get information to help you?

You have access to three months of searchable records already.  That's a lot for free.

Membership isn't a requirement.

I don't think it's ever been posted.  From my recollection, they are made in Korea.  There has been some debate whether or not they are identicial to a Burris XTS-135 (which retails for about $50 more and doesn't come with a mount), but the consensus seemed to be that the Burris has better glass and better waterproofing.  Whether or not they are made in the same plant by the same company to a different set of specs, I don't know.  I also recall that the ADCO units that are sold by Dillon are the same as the SPOT.  

Others can chime in if I've misrepresented what's been discussed about these prior.

Like Jmart said I'm not sure if we know the manufacturer definitively, but if you're looking for a vendor for it check out CS Gunworks.

I guess I just don't take kindly to folks who want the community to help them out but aren't willing to contribute.  That sense of entitlement is one of the biggest problems with our society.

I'll go ahead and give you the text so you can be sated.  Maybe this preview will entice to to try contributing.  If you want the images, too bad.

Oh, and as an aside, you might want to look up the definition of "sarcasm".  I wasn't sarcastic in the least.  I was completely straightforward with how I feel about people who whine about the cost of membership.

How was this rude ?
You are asking for a paying member to copy the info in the archives for you.
A bit unethical don't you think ?
