kruck Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Firstly, a bit about the seller. I brought it from the ebay store airsoft eagle, for the measly sum of around about £22 including shipping and insurance. They quoted the shipping time as 7-14 days. I received it 4 days after I placed my order, excellent retailer! (Here is the item, if you want to look). Bolted it straight onto my rail, fits perfectly with no wobble. It is very robust (those white marks aren't scratches, I'm not sure what it is but it rubbed off). It takes 2xLR44 batteries in the other end of the brightness adjustment tube. The brightness is adjustable with the dial you can see in the image above, 0 being off, 5 being full. I find for indoor use 1 is fine, bright outdoors 4 or 5 is needed. The lense covers flip open nicely with a quick flick. The adjustment covers on the top and right side unscrew to reveal the adjustment screws. Adjustments can be made with anything flat, screwdrivers, knives etc. They click as you turn them, and they adjust over quite a large range. I started out shooting 1' or so below the target at 10m, then after adjusting it the wrong way, had it shooting about 6' below the target. Once I worked out which way was which I zeroed it perfectly both horizontally and vertcally, hitting the 6"x6" target every time. The optics are bright and clear, and it is very easy to pick up the reticule. For the price, it is brilliant. In fact I would be very happy with it if it cost 3x the price!

Luis21 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Yeah, very nice optic. I got mine for $32! Yay! -Luis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Exactly the one I got, pretty sure from the same supplier but through ebay recommend! Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reborn Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I have two of these, with a third on the way. There's a reason I use them exclusively - they are effective, robust, and inexpensive. The first one I acquired has been in use for more than a year, seeing everything from heavy rain, mud, sand, and impact. Add a rubber armor shell and a killflash and the thing will be nigh indestructible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browncoat Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Robust and unbreakable, definitely worth recommending. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M4_Fanatic Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Agreed, although I don't play games, I still use this indoors (killing coke cans ). Fast target aquisition, accurate. Absolutely brilliant! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kustom Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) great product, kinda burns trough batters if your not careful tho! wonder if you can get a 123a to work in there... nope. not even close. Edited August 4, 2009 by kustom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Reptile House Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Really useful review, ordered one myself. Can anyone recommend an appropriate killflash? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kustom Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 G&P make a killflash, not sure if it will fit tho. just an idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdubea Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 G&P make a killflash, not sure if it will fit tho. just an idea. This killflash should work. It's made for a 30mm aimpoint so it should fit, considering they're made by the same company Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kullwarrior Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I own one of 30mm Red dot ones, just a comment to add. Compared to the following: (I've shot firearms with their optics both in Canada and U.S. [true assault rifles in U.S.]) *Trjicon Reflex the one it use was the NSN version which has the killflash and its the 4.0 MOA dot *EOTech 511 A.65 Center dot 1 MOA In my opinion the G&P one isnt the best, why? because the dot is not a circle but rather a weird oval which has all the sides of a circle except right bottom corner for mine. The dot at Lowest setting looks like atleast 5.5MOA which kinda disappoints me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Foxhound Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) These can Co-witness flip up sights correct? MY fake EOtech is so dim in summer,I don't even use it anymore. Edited August 16, 2009 by Mr Foxhound Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vergerdaf Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 quote name='Mr Foxhound' date='Aug 16 2009, 06:10 AM' post='2158964'] These can Co-witness flip up sights correct? MY fake EOtech is so dim in summer,I don't even use it anymore. yes as long as the he sights are tall enough but then again this sight is very low. and people asking about the killflash g&p make one they also make a 2x maginfier and a rubber coat thing which is like a scope condom.

Robinio Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I've had this for a while, I think its very robust, but the selector level/dail has come loose and I cannot use the red point, only the green one (I've have the green/red one) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sierra hotel Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Owned one for a while now, and have really enjoyed using it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kruck Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Just a brief update: The battery conked out after 8-9 skirmishes, replaced thm (less than 2 quid), the reticule is even brighter, and it has lasted quite a while so far with no sign of running out - looks like the standard battery ain't bad but could be improved.

survivalist31 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm just wondering. Would it be worth investing in one of these for my mid range outdoor gun. i have used almost any red dot you cna think of and i haven't really nailed down one for a good price i like. survivalist31 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lightbulb Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Quick questions: What mounts does it come with? I would most likely put in on the carry handle - does that mount come with the sight? Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Luis21 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Quick questions: What mounts does it come with? I would most likely put in on the carry handle - does that mount come with the sight? Cheers! It comes with a an L-Mount, which is low profile and only attaches to 20mm rails. You can buy the mount for the carry handle, try getting a replica of this one: http://www.mountsplus.com/miva/merchant.mv...P/PROD/arms/16T -Luis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ycare Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 The paralax or whatever it's called, isn't that great though. Moving your head around makes the reticule move in the wrong direction and lose accuracy. Definitely not the best I've seen, especially compared to my Hurricane holosight. For the price though it's pretty honest. reticule could be a tad brighter by default though. Of and as the pictures show, there is a slight greenish filter to it.

wraithxt1 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 The paralax or whatever it's called, isn't that great though. Moving your head around makes the reticule move in the wrong direction and lose accuracy. Definitely not the best I've seen, especially compared to my Hurricane holosight. I sold mine for that reason precisely. After missing a few shots because of the terrible parallax I had had enough of it. Looks super tacti-cool on your rifle, completely useless when you can just use the iron sights and actually hit what you're aiming at. The paralax was about a foot and a half to two feet at 15 feet distance. Do you math on that one, unless youre in exactly the right spot, you're not hitting anything looking at the dot.

Lughnasadhuk Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have one of these that came with a g&p cqb package. I stuck one of the tan rubber covers over it and i have to say it is a great scope. I do have a cheapo holographic red dot that still works after getting a hole shot through it. I doubt the aimpoint would be that robust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sniperiain Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 i got my self one of these, its the USMC on ei think, with the high mount, but not the cantelever one if you know? (although i wput it on a different mount haha) yer, mine is great love it. got it from Ehobbyasia for like £30 inc. postage, so pretty good. problem is its running out of battery power, so im gonna be getting some more button ones, other than that, BRILLIANT PICTURE!
