"Pros:
-semi matte (satin) black paint job, matches my p90 pretty well
-good brightness, mine had 2 modes of green and modes of red besides off (hi-lo)
-solid feeling metal construction
- c mount included
-ships in a very nicely padded box
-flip up lens caps are high quality and a tight fit i.e wont fall off while running, jumping, or rolling
-hex key was included for the mount
-dinky little cleaning cloth was also included
Cons
-the paint job on the mount is a little shoddy
-cleaning cloth left lint all over my lenses
-lenses were not ruby coated as I was led to believe
Note: the "matrix kill flash for matrix military type 30mm red&green dot sight" does not thread on, i shimmed it in tightly with electrical tape

"So the scope sight itself is great. The feel is nice and the elevation and wind-age controls are crisp. The thing that bothers me was the cantilever mount is not square and when put on the rail it angles upward ever so slightly. If you get this sight buy a straight scope mount so you don't run into the same issue. Now I see the eo tech replica 551 sight it on sale right now I might go get it because those things are solid!

"This scope is great, it is easy to look through while wearing an airsoft mask and the dot is put above the front sight on my M4. The scope is easy to zero in but can take a while, once calibrated though it is dead accurate. The scope clamps down really well and reduces any wobble or movement causing you to re-calibrate your scope. It is full metal and has a great heavy duty feel to it, it also looks great. The dot is fairly bright but can be difficult to see if you're looking into the sun or a glare, apart from that you can see it pretty well on very sunny days. It also holds it's own batteries so it doesn't drain the battery on your gun and has an outstanding battery life, i haven't had to change mine yet.
Pros: Great scope
Full metal
Easy to calibrate
Doesn't shift or wobble
Great battery life
Looks over M4/M16 front sight
Looks great
Cons: The dot could be brighter but this is not much of a hassle
Overall Score: 4.5 out of 5

"Great build quality (as always with G&P) The different mounting brackets make this red-dot perfect for any gun, I was even able to get one to work for me when I have to wear a paintball style mesh mask. The different brightness levels are great for day and night time use. Makes my M4 look bad-ass, 'nuff said.

"This is a great Aimpoint sight. It works great on any M4/M16 and lines up with your front sight. The adjustment screws actually work on this and stay in place. This has at least 8 brightness levels, but even on the highest it can be hard to see in bright daylight. The scope is all metal, except for the lense covers which are plastic. Be careful with the covers, I already had one snap off.

"Good reddot but the high mount is not very secure. You can push/pull it and it will slide on your rails.

"This is the last Aimpoint ML3 clone that you can buy. I was barely able to zero mine because the mount had a visible defect. The red dot was like 3 degrees off center from the rifle. I bought a Vortex mount and now I can zero it without cranking too hard on the windage adjuster. I have owned an Aimpoint Pro and this thing is much dimmer. For this price you can get a Burris TRS-25 that is much brighter and has real steel build quality. Only buy this if you love the look.

"You're better off spending the extra $25 on a better scope with a larger reticle, the red/green dot is practically impossible to see. The glass is reflective, and there's a weird piece in the bottom of the inside that reflects onto the glass that is really noticeable when aiming in dark areas. I really like the mount it came with.

"So this sight is bad. Its definitely not the best sight in the world and that's expected nothings perfect. But there are some flaws that definitely stick out. For one my sight when I adjust it the dials are mismatched. The dial says up but adjusts it left and right and it goes the other way were to turn the red dot right it goes up and down. Next is the battery compartment. I dont know if it's something I did to it or it just came like that but the battery is stuck in there. With that the dot flickers the dot in the scope isnt consistent it flickers and I cant get it to stop. Next is that inside the scope when I put the flash killer on it I noticed the inside glass panel is tilted. I dont know if it was suppost to be that way or thats a factory mistake but it has screwed with my scope adjustments. Finally my last issue is that it broke. My buddy had it on him when we were finished playing a good game of airsoft and when he gave it back to me one of the dials broke. He and I don't even know how it broke, we weren't even being rough with it and It broke. So in the end I wouldn't recommend this sight it has some issues. If you still want it go right ahead but be fragile with it and it will last a long time. In the other hand if you want to have one solid sight for cosplay or just for aesthetic then this sight is for you.

"Reticle is too dim. Other than that, works to standard.

"I bought this from another airsoft store in Buffalo, NY (which I'm never shopping at again). They charged more than evike.com did and the scope came faulty, they refused to return my money. The red worked but the green didn't work the way it was supposed to (it worked if I turned the dial in between the two green settings instead of on them). I don't know if I just got unlucky or this is typical for these scopes but the red works fine. I have only two problems with the scope besides the ones unique to my model. One, the calibration system is reverse of what you normally would do to calibrate a sight, initially causing me to miscalibrate my red dot so bad it took a long time to get it right. And two, the dial to change what setting it's on is not in a good location. If your gun falls the right way it can land right on it and knock it loose. I now can't get green dot period unless I push the dial in with my thumb. It could have been worse. A friend bought the Leapers UTG CQB RED/GREEN DOT WITH INTEGRAL WEAVER/PICATINNY MOUNT (sold here on evike.com http://www.airsoftpost.com/leapers-redgreen-with-integral-we-
averpicatinny-mount-p-30594.html) and it works much better to my knowledge. If you do buy this scope than leave the flip caps off during me play, they just fall off under the stress of battle and can get lost.

"scope isn't too bad, bought one a year ago and it served me well.bright dot even on the sunniest of days and the body is built well with a decent weight to it.until the lense came loose and now i can't see through the scope using my aimpoint 3x mag.so now i bought the G&P RED/GREEN version so hopefully the same thing doesn't happen to me agian....happy airsofting!!!

"I got this scope many months ago and while it was pretty good, there were a number of deal breakers that convinced me to get something else. First was the weight. This on top of a full metal gun is NOT comfortable. I recommend something lighter. Next, the windage and elevation were mismatched. I twisted the dial that said "right" and the dot would go up or down. Now these are forgivable, but the fact that the sight was extremely low was the last straw. I did not want a riser so I decided just to sell it.

"This the red dot is good but the build isn't. Overall the casing is good and quality but the knob used to adjust the brightness and dot color is loose. I received it two days ago to find the knob practically move with gravity causing the dot to change and flicker. Very disappointed. I do believe I just go a poorly made one and that this should not be a common problem. It seems like it should have been a good sight.

"obtained this scope today and it must of been the defective scope in the bunch. I choose to buy this because I saw all the great reviews and for the price it sounded like a no brainer. Well I screwed up in purchasing this item, the quality of the scope is fantastic very sturdy build, nonetheless, its back to the drawing board in choosing the "perfect" scope.
