IMO the only two real catches are 1 MOA clicks and 14 oz

I own a couple (RV1 and RV2). LOVE THEM. In fact, I replaced my PRO on my work rifle with the RV1. Tough as hell.

DI also makes the dot sights the .mil guys use on their 50cal MGs.

FYI, the RV2 (push buttons  instead of rotary) is 1/2MOA clicks. Once you put it on a rifle, that 14oz becomes a lot less noticeable.

EDIT:   The RV2 is 12.5oz.

That intrigues me greatly as I need a RDS for a MK18ish AR

Get the Larue version of the ARMS#17 (I think it's the 171), and you'll love it. The mount that comes with it (tension screw) is good, but that QD setup really is nice.

Ordered the RV1 since the rotary seems like it would be more robust, plus no auto on/off to play with. $231 shipped.

The companies full name is Dong In Optical

Dicks in Optical kind of has a ring to it.

Pics when it arrives.

Found this cheesey video as well

NATO/ U.S. Contracts do inspire some confidence.
