    I have one on my S&W 15-22 and I'm happy with it so far.

    I've only been out with it a few times so I can't speak to long-term reliability, but it's held zero (It's only a .22, soo...) and it's pretty clear.

    I like having the four different reticles to choose from.

    It's no Eotech, but it was only $70 and I don't think my .22 toy needs much more.

    What are you putting it on?

        I have some experience. I traded a vendor some stuff for a bunch of them. They are decent, actually have a bit more clear of a reticule compared to an eotech (because of the design, eotechs reticules look more pixelated). but they're not as rugged and I wouldn't put em on something that I was definitely going to defend my life with for an extended amount of time. Theyre cool for range toys or deciding if you want to plunk down the big dough for an eotech. Overall I would say they are a good value.

          Where are you located?

          If you're in San Diego I could use you as an excuse to go to the range so you could try mine.

            I have a Sightmark Ultra NVQD or some such model. The one before the new digital switches. I like it ok and it is bright enough and the reticles are in clear sharp focus - externally it is a nice looking sight, not real tough and the controls are just OK. Sight can get off kilter if switch rotates in-between reticle selections because of mushy detents. Seems to hold zero with the internals and the QD if cranked down tight. I would use them on .22's - looks good on a SIG522, but I'll keep my TRS-25 on my AR22.

            Between spending $80-$100 on one of these and a $350 Aimpoint PRO with the included 2-height rock-solid self torquing QD mount and flip caps, 3 year battery life, proven toughness, etc... I'd choose the Aimpoint whether you are a butt kisser or not. I'd also get a third Bushnell TRS-25 or LUCID HD7 OR Strikefire, etc... before I got another Sightmark. They aren't bad, but there are better choices.
