While it was a good sight, I ran one on an AR through the TAC Rifle II with RWI. My chest rig gear kept hitting the NV mode button (buttons are on the side) when I would drop the rifle and go to pistol, so when trying to go back to rifle after reloading I was looking at blank glass when I really needed the red dot. If I was left handed or slung the rifle so it rested on my gear with the magwell to my left, this would not have been an issue.

Other than that the optic was easy to zero, held up well under recoil. Absolutely should put some loctite on the ring mounting screws though.

I have PA micros on my "fun" rifles, but my ARs have either irons or Aimpoints.

I can recomend the bush elite 4200 1.25-4 excellent glass, german #4 rect with a fine red dot / about 1/3 moa.
I swap it back and forth from my savage 220f deer rig to an AR. works both eyes open close range, and magnification and the small dot really help in low light and sniping, very versatile scope, I see them every once and a while for about 320 on Amazon, I will get another I like em that much.
