Pretty squared away. Solid body and real positive clicks for the illumination and windage/elevation knobs. Mounts rock solid.

Good find... Can I ask which booth/group you got it from? I noticed Ammo Bros there for the first time that I've seen at least...
Enjoy brother!!

I got it from Solar Tactical. It's the regular (non-canted) AR riser mount, making it a true co-witness. It's basically this package here:

I just bought a Primary Arms Aimpoint-clone multi-reticle red dot a couple weeks ago, and although I haven't fired the rifle with it mounted yet, I am totally impressed with what it seems to be. It arrived from PA in 3 days, nicely packed in compartmentalized foam-lined boxes, and came with some extras I wasn't even expecting (microfiber lense cloth, assembly tool, scope diameter shims, etc). The fit/finish seems very good for a product in this price range, the optics are clear, the dot bright and defined, everything just feels and looks great. Well worth every cent of the $118 I spent, and that price included the cantilever mount and shipping. Totally satisfied so far...... now gotta go use it.

I bought one for my Saiga, less than a week later I ordered one for a 10/22 I was putting together. Seem to be solid so far, we will see how it goes.

I just got one in trade off AR15.com. I like it a lot. Came with the ARD. Feels really solid and dot was nice and bright in daylight.

PA stuff is great. Just under 4k 7.62x39 through mine, no issues.

My PA 1x4 lasted around 2000 before the red dot stopped functioning. But the scope itself is still going strong and retains zero. Great buy for the money. They have a solid reputation for a low budget optic.

I have their 4-16x scope and the glass is very nice for being a 160 dollar scope. Nicely made too!

Cool story bro. The mount is on backwards.

says who?

mine is mounted the same way, because I didn't like how the lever got in the way when dealing with the bolt release

Just sighted in my new PA red dot last weekend... like it. Had it dialed in less than 20 shots.

Got around 2-3" groups @ 50 yds offhand. Great for the price

I just got back from the range zeroing mine. Didn't take long at all. Now I just have to get used to shooting with both eyes open.

Its nice to know an optic that doesn't cost a much as the whole rifle can still be good.

I have that exact setup and I love it. Good pick up!
