Anybody have or use one of these sights? I would be interested in your thoughts on it.

I think it was introduced at this year's Shot Show. The reticle looks good also. I might have to look into this one myself.

I found some more information online from someone who went to SHOT:
1. The reticle is daylight visible ala the 6500 series (ie, good enough to be a red dot at 1x, but not the power of the sun like an Aimpoint).
2. It's being released in May.
3. The glass is pretty good, especially for the price.
4. The 1x is extremely close to 1x (which is impressive at this price range).

The comparisons were being made to the Vortex PST 1-4x, which is pretty damned good for a scope half the cost. If the glass doesn't take a hit between now and release, I think this is going to be THE go-to 1-X budget scope for 5.56 rifles. It's going to be a long, long wait to May...

They also updated the website to correctly reflect the BTR-1 reticle and .1mil clicks. I'm glad they're running with the BTR-1, the BTR-2 was overkill for the magnification being used.

MSRP is $299, same as the Nikon M-223.
