I just pulled the trigger on getting one of these optics and I was curious if anyone else has any experience with them, first hand? Are they durable?

Bought one a few months ago and seems pretty good.  I wish that the red dot would be a bit brighter but not too bad.  Have not ran it hard yet.

Biggest problem for me was attaching it.  I must have been tired when I was trying to attach it.  Have you gotten yours yet?

It seems pretty bomb proof.  It is not a "pretty" scope but the AK is not a "pretty" gun.  Old world type craftsmanship.  AA battery power is a plus seeing that I have several Eotech 512 that take AA batteries.  Only had a chance to zero it at 21 feet because the range was under construction at the time.  I would like to stretch her legs a bit more.  

Where did you buy yours?

I picked one up from Atlantic a few years ago and it's been solid so far. Take time getting it adjusted to the side mount.

I also pull the battery if it's going to be a while before next use.
