There can be slight alignment differences between reticles. It is minimal but we recommend the single dot version for use with magnifiers.

Looks pretty slick for an inexpensive sight. Any idea how long the battery lasts?

Unknown on the battery life, but I sure like the idea of using a common AA for something that I would most likely install on a range gun, like a M&P 15-22.

I couldn't agree more. Until now that's meant $800 Aimpoint Comp M4 for me, since I like using a battery that's available everywhere.

Naturally I don't have the same expectations from a $100 sight, but I love the AA battery option!

I'm going to buy one and check it out.

Web site says 1000+ hours. Interesting ...... I have a 15-22 also, may look into this. Thanks for posting

I have their older version (multi-reticule with the weirdo battery that I can't remember the designation) and it has been absolutely SOLID. I put it on my Nordic Component NC-22 in 2008-ish and I've run several thousand rounds (let's call it 5,000, but it might be more) through it and I'm still on the same battery. Obviously I turn it off when not in use, unlike an Aimpoint, but it's still going. I don't need a new optic like this one right now, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to get it.

Glad to see some reviews here. I was thinking about picking one up.

Okay, can't review the sight itself yet but I placed an order with Primary Arms on Friday at 20:02. The sight was in today's (Monday) Mail !! And I picked the cheapest shipping, USPS Priority. So far I'm impressed with the company.

I picked the multi-reticule model for the circle-dot like my Eotech's. It's not a 65 MOA circle, but it is a very crisp image. We'll see how it zeroes. Won't be much stress on a 15-22.

Wow! If you are considering an AP M4, this is THE "trial" tool!!!
