Joe Soileau: Really improved my aim.. I put bolts in a three inch circle constantly from 15 yards this is just for fun and past time.. just be careful when removing the battery cuz the plastic clips breaks easily. Battery has a film under it so needs to be removed to power it up.

Stewzykins: Good quality though I did need to tighten the one adjustment screw a little.

Steve D: Couldn't get this to sit square on the rail due to the cheap plastic construction so I had to return for a refund. Talking to my local gunshop I found this is a common problem with these sights

Julia: Ok price and function, only problem is the elevation wheel is a bit free and just putting it away will move it and the rubber cap for the battery keeps coming off

Atticus: Ok, considering the price, this thing is pretty dang awesome! The only downside is that it does not fit a lot of air soft guns😕 in fact the only gun I could find that fit was my red Ryder BB gun. All the others rails were too big. But besides that it is a beast! More or less accurate for the price and it is really bright too! I would give 5 stars if it fit more guns. If you want it to fit more guns you’re gonna need some longer screws

Shooter McGavin: First off, every bad review of this product is accurate. My unit had almost every single issue that has been written, here. But I fixed most all of them and more. For me, this sight was worth the small price I paid.
But the real reason I wrote this review is to say that you can mount this sight directly to the barrel of, say, a 13xx or 2240. Anything with a 0.435" OD barrel or smaller. You just have to ditch the battery cover, and the sight mounts very securely by clamping directly to the barrel without the need for any additional mounting hardware. The up/down adjustment wheel and the nude battery holder just barely clear the top of the barrel. This method reduces the sight-to-bore axis error. You may have to bend the battery contacts and perhaps heat-melt the plastic tabs a little, and/or otherwise get creative in order to get the battery to stay in, securely. But it can be done.
Additional info:
The sight does not have an adjustable intensity; it is too bright for low light shooting. And battery life is poor. This is because there is no series resistor inline with the LED! If you are handy with tiny electronics and a soldering iron, you can fix this problem....

Steve: Absolute garbage. Could not be a worse scope, not even for the money. I've been shooting for well over 25 years; competitions, professionally, and for recreation/hunting. I bought this sight for use on a barn door star tracker for astrophotography, NOT for shooting. I expected low quality for the price, and was fully willing to accept that as it wasn't for use even on an inexpensive air gun - all it has to do is align a board with the North Star. No recoil to potentially upset the zero or damage parts. I literally just needed a dot.
Quality of construction is garbage. Happy Meal toys are built to a higher standard. I wish I was joking or exaggerating at all. This is probably the single most poorly constructed item I've ever spent money on. If I found it on the ground in brand new condition, I'd deposit it in the nearest trash bin. "Made in China" sticker on the bottom seems almost comical, because this thing absolutely personifies every stereotype about "low quality" Chinese production. The battery door is a rubber cap that just slips on. Doesn't screw on, doesn't latch on, just a friction fit. Adjustments for elevation and windage are simply threaded screw knobs. No...
