there seems to be enough interest in these things to warrant a GD post. I am giving some thought to purchasing one myself, but I am curious as to others opinions. Any special features making them superior to Aimpoint/EO tech? I can understand that the big prices are a supply and demand issue. The USMC wants 'em, and therefore, everyone else does as well. Does the product really live up to the price? What has been your experience? Any favorite models?, and if so....best application for those models..short/medium/long range applications. AND of course....post pix if you got 'em!

Um... this is a non technical "anything else but guns" forum so you may want to take it over to the optics forum.

one final question....what causes the cracking/ spider webbing of the fiber optic tube I hear about so much? Any models/manufacturing dates more prone to this than the others? Does this cause any real harm? How can it be prevented?

How many years do they have left on their patent until Hakko can make an affordable copy?

Here's mine, mounted on my Colt HBAR.

Here is the reticle:

I am very happy with mine. It has 3.5 magnification. It works great.

I wish that I can afford one of those things, they cost almost as much as gun.
