Other Thoughts:
My worst fear happened on the battle field (paintball).
Took a shot right in the front lens. BUT, to my amazement, nothing shattered, not even a scratch after i wiped it clean. Very impressive.
Red dot still visible in broad daylight.
A bit disappointed to be mislead about the green dot ability, as I thought I might have a choice of colour for different light conditions. At least the red works in all situations.
Bottomline:
I bought the scope from DX because of the price. I am using it now on my Paintball marker and didn't want to spend a lot of money on something that might damage quickly on the field. It has proven to be a rugged, inexpensive tool for my game. I have recommended this scope from DX to my friends.
All I need now is a 45degree offset rail, and im set!
