Watch for fakes and clones guys!  For 9 bucks I almost guarantee there's something not on the up and up with them.  Ebay is chuck full of the clones too so just be careful. Hate to see somebody get screwed.

That is Pic is from amazon, it’s $39.

I’ve used one the last two years, has held up well for turkey and deer.

Could be scammers on Amazon, I haven’t had any issues.

Customer service has always been great for me with amazon.

Yeah, scammers and fakes are out there but this one looks legit to me - 4K+ reviews. I’ll let you know if isn’t - mine arrives today now to decide on a saddle mount-so many mixed reviews

I think you can tell by the lens coating color.  The genuine models should have an amber coating?

     Got mine last night, it’s the real deal I’m actually pretty impressed with the quality for the price point

What color was the writing on the side? from what I have been reading there is a difference between the white and gold lettering.

Any updates on this. I’ve been tempted to order off EBay but I’ve just assumed they’re all fakes. I posted a while back about it but no one really addressed the counterfeit issue that I can remember.  I haven’t heard if fakes on Amazon but I’m sure there could be.

It’s legit. I’m pretty impressed with the quality just holding it. Matches all the pros/cons of the reviews. Just haven’t sighted it in yet

Nice. I’m thinking about grabbing one. I’m also thinking about just tapping the receiver myself. Most places around here want $20/per hole drilled.

I bought the plastic Weaver mount off Amazon. I like but haven’t put it through a torture test either. Very easy install

They are pretty good sights for the price. I have yet to kill mine and it's been on my vinci for a couple seasons, then on my bps 10, then on a 6.5x55 mauser, and now it rides on my general purpose ar carbine. Always held zero, just changed the battery once. The only thing I don't like is that the lens tint is a little on the dark side for dim lighting.
