I saw this recently in a gun shop.  It looked interesting but just wanted ARCOMer opinions.  It seems to have a BUIS as well. Good - bad?

Thanks.

They are ok, but there are much better optics out there.

        I bought one back some time but would not recomend it.

Pros)  Seems to be pretty solid and tough.
        includes BUIS
        Battery life is decent
        I believe different modules are available for different size dots.
        Zero is solid and doesn't move

Cons)
        Fairly expensive
        BUIS basicly gets in the way if you don't mount the gun perfectly with standard perfect cheek weld.
        The elevation and windage adjustments are coarse as hell and just a real stinker all around to adjust.


      With mine I have removed the BUIS parts to get them out of my way and just use the sight for fun and games at known distances (plateshoots and the like where I can set it up in advance)

Not a fan, for the money there are better options.

The description next to your avatar says "Distinguished Rifleman, President's 100" If you dont mind me asking, what does that mean?


Thank you,

Distinguished Marksman and Distinguished Pistol Shot
Military personnel and civilians who participate in Excellence-in- Competition (EIC) Matches can obtain Gold, Silver, and Bronze Badges worth, generally, ten, eight, or six points, respectively towards the 30 points required to become a "Distinguished Marksman" (Rifle, Navy and Marine Corps), Distinguished Rifleman (Army and Air Force) or "Distinguished Pistol Shot." Generally, a competitor may participate in a maximum of four EIC matches during a year, with the stipulation that if he competes in four, one must be the National Trophy Individual Match during the annual Civilian Marksmanship Program National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio.

The President's Hundred Tab, a full-color embroidered tab of yellow 4 1/4 inches (10.80 cm) in length and 5/8 inch (1.59 cm) in height, with the word "President's Hundred" centered in 1/4 inch (.64 cm) high green letters, is a badge awarded by the National Rifle Association to the 100 top-scoring military and civilian shooters in the President's Pistol and President's Rifle Matches. It is currently one of four permanent individual skill/marksmanship tabs authorized for wear by the U.S. Army. In order of seniority (based solely on length), they are the President's Hundred Tab, the Special Forces Tab, the Ranger Tab, and the Sapper Tab.
