"This sight completes the futuristic look I'm going for
Pro:
-Sight has good eye relief for a DMR type rifle (about 3in)
-Adjustable magnification (around 3x-9x)
-it adjusts without a coin which is very helpful
-Stays in place and does not loosen after time
-Fully iluminated in blue and red for day and "darker" play
-Uses CR-123's so it never goes dead, and the sight glows VERY bright, almost overwhelming in lower light levels.
Cons:
-Red dot is pretty worthless unless you want to hit something 10 yards away as it cant sight in any farther.

"This is a nice "Second Focal Plane" scope and red-dot combo. The Red-dot is a flip-up window on top of the unit that flips up by pressing side button Works well, flips up easily. Easy to zero using up/down and left/right adjustment hex head screws.
The quick release mount works quite well. I have to tighten the nut opposite the attachment arm every so often but that's normal for cheaper scopes. It is so easy to detach/attach you can switch this between guns with NO stress.
I love the scope on it, it works well enough and the reticle is easy to see. It also illuminates red or blue with brightness adjustments.
I had to zero the red-dot and the scope reticle way way down because the unit sits quite high, especially the red dot.
But it was easy... my airgun shoots like a laser so I did it within minutes of putting it on. Seems to hold zero just fine.
One more thing - it looks hella cool on my gun. Very "slim-line futuristic" and tactical looking but I imagine it may not match every guns aesthetics (wouldn't look right on a wood stock AK-47 for instance)
The scope comes in a nice box, with a sweet carry case (!) and directions inside. It also has a card that helps describe how to use the mil-dot reticle to measure distance.
Very cool scope!

"I bought this and I love it! The dual sights work very well the red dot on top is very simple to use and it turns on and off by flipping it up or down the build quality is really nice and its very easily adjustable I won't lie tho it's not a small and it's pretty pricy for what it is. It's looks like they updated the quick release because it's not like the cheaper flimsy as it was on there other products.
Pros
Big and pretty
Quality
Second sight
Lights up
Futuristic looks
(COD FAN MUST HAVE)
Cons
$$$$
Big
The flip up sight is cool but I would have been made alittle better. Feels like after awhile it might break down
Top sight also can't be prefectly aligned with the scope sight

"Tl;dr: It's a generally good optic with a major flaw that keeps it from being perfect.
I'll start with this: This is the second VISM optic I've purchased, and I won't be getting another one from them.
Many surface imperfections from production process. streaks and splatters in the molding. Doesn't affect actual usage, so it's passable for a sub-$200 optic.
Most reviews of this product were critical of the red dot which, funnily enough, is the only part of this product that I have no issues with. Easy to zero, smooth deployment, adjustable brightness, sturdy construction, negligible starburst artifact. Very well done for a flip dot. Normally, I prefer mounting my red dot on the side of optic instead of on top like this one. Make sure you protect it with a piece of acrylic or something - I always 3D print mounts for mounting impact glass in front of my optics.
Controls are well integrated and do not obstruct any movement. Having no caps on the adjustment turrets would be an issue for ranging real steel (I do not recommend using this optic for real steel) but is very useful in airsoft since you have to make constant adjustments.
Poor eye relief but may vary between users. Just mount it right and you'll get used to it. Optic clarity is good. About as good as expected of this product.
CANTED RETICLE BY 3+ DEGREES. An immediate fail for an optic in most cases. Annoying to deal with at the very least, and a pain to fix due to how the item is assembled. Completely unacceptable for an optic at this price. The only reason why I know about canted angles is because I have one other optic in my collection that has this issue, and it is also a VISM product.
Do I recommend this? Meh. I generally like this optic as it is theoretically perfect for a short-med range DMR build, but it is held back immensely by the canted reticle and limited eye relief. Mostly using it for the look and I had money to burn. An LPVO with a low-profile reflex sight would work just as well, if not better.
