I really wanted one of these scopes until I actually saw one.  The optics just aren't very good.  Also, I have been told from several people that customer service is non-existent.  I have also been told that the system does work, but it is not precise or durable.

Good concept, poor application IMHO.

As stated, poor optical quality.

 

They do seem to be rugged though friends tell me.

If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

A buddy of mine inherited one on a LAR .50 BMG rifle and it was unremarkable, hard to focus at most distances with a bit of distortion (no wonder the previous owner threw it in).  The range finding system got in the way, you'd be better off to spend your money on a Burris FF2, Leupond Vx-II or Sightron 2-7 power-ish.
