You are well aware of what you've done here, right?...

Well,... technically he's got until almost midnight tomorrow for someone to jump in here and save his a$$ assuming this FNG (me) understands "The Rule" correctly?

found it for 229 shipped. think there's a day left on the deal. I'm no amateur lol. could be pretty cool on my pistol build. was just wondering if my Benadryl fuled late night impulse buy was a mistake.

I order from there a lot, some really good deals

I'm interested in knowing the battery life. I have an unused $15 credit on DVOR.

[blue109]

yea..I didn't see battery life anywhere. Rollin the dice. my little PA reflex has the same battery and no off switch and it's still going strong almost 2 years later

got an answer from armasight (about 45 min after I emailed them). they said 200 hrs constant full brightness. 10,000 hrs constant NV mode.

Hmm....waiting to see what you receive in the mail and your review.

[blue109]

ship notice. should be here Friday with my 77gr OTM. too bad I'm working all weekend.

[blue109]

initial impressions...

pretty cool. came with the sight, protective cover, and the "tunnel" cover. the sight feels pretty solid. the 3 moa dot has a little bleed but not bad. the 20 moa circle nice and sharp. the auto bright works really well and adjusts fast. buttons all seem solid. if you hold the on/off button for 2 seconds it overrides the auto bright and goes to full power. holding the ret button down switches it to NV mode. the electronics are good so far.

the tunnel cover seems like a failure point. it feels tough, but not magpul tough. the paperwork says it has passed drop tests, but I don't plan on verifying that. it has little rubber arms that hold the tinted lens cover on. it feels solid, and it's not really under stress but I don't trust it 100%. to be honest, I don't even really see the point of the tunnel cover other than looking neat. suppose it keeps dirt out of the path of the dot. it looks like it zeros by moving the sight in relation to the base, so I assume the base is proprietary and wouldn't be able to swap with any other systems.

overall, I'm happy at the price I paid. id be not so happy at the $400+ I've seen it advertised for. ill update this after I get a few rounds through it. ill get some more pics up asap.

also of note...I think it cowitness, but all my guns have raised rails so I can't be sure. maybe I'm spoiled by eotech, but you really need to be right behind the gun to find the dot. seems a little less forgiving than my PA reflex.
