Initial Thoughts:

Obviously you aren't buying an Aimpoint. There is a big difference between the electronics that run for 50,000 hours and Valdada's 800 hours. However, for a sporting scope or for hobbyists, this one deserves consideration. I'm a firm believer of buying the right part the first time. However, when you can get an affordable optic (under $250 including mount) along with Valdada's life time warranty, it deserves a second look. In all honesty, I probably wouldn't have given it a second look but because Valdada thought it was good enough to put their name and warranty behind it, it deserves to be considered if are on a tight budget.
