"After a few days with this red/green dot, I will give my honest opinion about the sight
Pros:
- The box comes with the sight, allen wrench, and batteries
- The sight is durable and feels really sturdy.
- Illuminated reticles are bright and vibrant.
- Cheap for the price.
Cons:
- Slightly hard to turn the knob on the right to adjust brightness and color, but I guess that adds to the sturdyness.
Overall, was worth it worth the money? Yes. Having a red dot sight is kind of cool to me, it makes your slightly futuristic. You can switch brightness and color. It's sturdy and would overall recommend for people who are curious to purchase this optic.

"if you want a affordable, reliable and simple scope you want this, it's well constructed, looks good like an aimpoint and most of all works well with dot always on target!

"This item works great and mounts where I want it.

"first off i would just like to say this red dot works really well. it fits any picatinny base with ease.
All in all, it looks good and gets your target acquired much faster than iron sights. Highly recommended especially at this price.

"Amazing red dot scope! If your dot is dim that means you need to change to a new battery.

"Purchased this the other day and I have to say I am impressed with the build quality for 50 bucks! It has two power settings for red and green dot. While not a problem, other replicas of this scope I own have 4 power settings for the red dot and 3 for the green dot. But either red or green dot is plenty bright enough for outdoor use on the higher setting. I haven't zeroed this scope or taken it to the field yet but I foresee no problems with this thing in skirmishes, of course I will update this review if that proves not to be the case. All in all a great little red dot that I would not hesitate to purchase again or recommend to a friend. Also as a side note, I purchased the G&P silicone scope cover in OD, while a pain to get on it fit perfectly and looks great on the scope! I also purchased the new 32mm flashkill evike is carrying in the hopes it would actually fit in this scope unlike the 30mm G&P flashkill evike carries. Guess what? It threads in perfectly! So if you want a flashkill for this scope I would highly recommend the 32mm evike carries as it is a direct install with zero modification required!

"PROS:
- 2 colors of dots: red and green
- 2 brightness of said colors
- Raised mount for those of us who wear face masks
- Seats over most rifle sights
- Adjustment knobs for windage and elevation have tight covers (expect those to wear over time)
CONS:
- Eh... batteries?
NOTABLE INFORMATION:
- The "Also Bought" G&P Flash Kill does not thread into the optic.
- Electrical tape doesn't need treads.
LONG (and possibly boring) REVIEW
When I installed this onto my STAR Dragon I loved the looks of the optic and how it sat. I also like the stiffness of the color/brightness knob on the right side. I haven't gotten to a range to dial it in yet, but that's a user thing, since this adjusts for both wind and elevation with tight, and I mean TIGHT covers. You'll need a flat head screwdriver though, so be aware of that (it's not like a flat head is an impossible tool to find). The mount fit securely to my rail, and the whole construction of the dot sight is of rather satisfying quality. I purchased a G&P Flash Killer to help conceal my lense and to protect it. However the flash killer will not thread into the optic; so I used electrical tape to secure it for now. An alternative solution to this is to cut out the end of the front cap and secure the flash killer onto that, and remove the tension spring for added measures.
tl:dr
Amazing optic.
Recommended accessory isn't compatible without some jury rigging, however basic it may be.

"First off, let me answer your first question: Yes you really should buy this sight!
This sight works GREAT and the batteries that came with it have worked for me for quite a while ( 1 month + of usage) so I really like this sight! I use this sight for a G&G cm16 raider, it it works VERY WELL.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:
1. The green dots are brighter and easier to see than the red dots in the daytime.
2. There are NO THREADS ON THIS SIGHT. If you want to get the G&P killflash for this sight, just know it WONT SCREW IN (but it's not really a problem if you have electrical tape :P)
3. The mount could use a LITTLE help, but it works perfectly fine anyways.

"I bought this sight and it came in the other day. This sight has my full trust and support. It is full metal, sighted it in this morning and it's super accurate. This sight comes with 2 rubber, flip-up lens caps that I found super useful. I put this sight on my Colt Licensed M4 CQB-R and it looks awesome with the cantilever mount and with no mounting problems. The only complaint that I have about this product is the red dot. If you use this sight, the Green dot is SUBSTANTIALLY brighter than the red dot on both the low and high brightnesses. i give the sight a 5/5
Pro's: Good metal construction
Red and Green dot's
Flip-up rubber lens caps included
Easy to sight in
Extremely affordable
Con's: The red dot isn't as bright as the red dot on both brightnesses. (not really a
con in my book, because i bought it for the green dot anyway.)

"Got this a few days ago, and I love it.
But this sight by G&P just blew me away. It works as good as it looks, and IT LOOKS AMAZING. I've had no issues with it so far. The only thing is that the switch is actually somewhat difficult to turn, but as far as I'm concerned, all that means is that it's going to stay on. I foresee no future issues in the life of this sight.
There are five brightness levels, all of them clearly marked from 0, off, to 5, the brightest. This is the best sight I've ever owned, and at the price it beats the pants off of anything more expensive, including many real steel red dots.

"Very awesome dot scope and very durable. Mine is black and it looks sick with my ICS SIG552. I was able to use the red and green dots on there and zeroing in to pin point accuracy is very easy. I'm not sure if the limited edition dot scope has the green as well so dont quote me on it.

"So I got the scope today and it's great! I don't think it has a green dot but the adjusters for dot were awesome. Great metal scope. I reccomend a sight protector just incase.
