I was looking at reviews  on this optic. They were all a couple years old when it first came out. How do the owners now feel? Not interested in hearing haters who think if you don't spend 600 bucks its crap. If I were going to battle it would be an aimpoint, trijicon or eotech. But I'm going to the range so Id like to know how it reviews now that it has been around for a while.

I just ordered one based on all the positive reviews of it so I'm curious to see current opinions as well. You might try posting in the optics forum though

I had one for about a year, used it a lot.  I've owned eotech's and aimpoints and functionally it's as good as either and more convenient in terms of adjusting the windage/elevation.  

My only complaint was lack of covers other than that it's great.  I personally froze it, put it into water, checked the parallax ... it passed everything I tried with it.

Only reason I sold it was because I wanted to run a 6-20 scope not a red dot.

I met the founder at Soldier System Equipment Expo FT Bragg, its got alot of great features; rubberized all over, 4 reticles, and the auto brightness setting does work great. I know some might see it as a 'low-mid range' optic but if it holds a zero ( so far it does) its good to go! The owner defitnetly expressed alot of heart in his intenstions to offer a good quality red dot and is not looking to rape guys on prices.

If anything the Lucid 3-5 varable maginifer is totally bad ass and under cuts in price other high end magnifiers that only have one fixed power setting ( and it works great!)

BTW yes that is a 14.5 Adams Arms Evo-Ultralite that (hopefully)you might see soon at a dealer near you!

Where is it made and by who?? Is Lucid the manufacturer or is it out sourced?

i believe it is designed in the usa and outsourced for production. i currently have one, but it currently is busted. not the fault of lucid though. the bat. leaked and ruined it. it is currently at P&G and I am waiting for a refund from them or replacement.
