Quoted: Wanted to purchase this optic but don't have much time using one. Pros/Cons would be helpful along with any other suggestions for different optics. Dept regulations nothing over 4x and keep in mind this will spend most of it's time in my car and be used as my patrol rifle while at work. Rock River Entry Tactical is what I plan on mounting it on.

Pros: Uses 123 Batts, Reticle is very forgiving when viewing off center, Battery life is good, Auto shut off after 4 or 8 hours, very durable, great customer service, good reticle for CQB.
Cons: Uses ARMS mount, Expensive compared to the AA model and aftermarket mount, no magnification, magnifier from EO Tech is a ripoff, some have a slight cant to them when mounted due to ARMS mount.
I had the 553, and just sold it. It was very fast, but I like a magnified optic. For quickness, I ended up with a ACOG and Doctor combo.
Now, For a LE role, this would be a great choice if you want zero magnification. I also like the 512 with the GG&G cam mount.
