Id like some feedback on it from yall. I will not be using it until next year since our season ends in 7 days. Id like to know how it handles 3.5in loads and the magnum blends. Just any general comment will help. I will be using it on a 870SM with a jellyhead shooting most likely the 3.5in magnum blends or possibly something else if the gun/choke slings something better.

I put one on my SP-10 for this season.  Son killed a nice tom on youth day with it this past Saturday.  Seems to hold zero well, easy to use, set up, adjust...  It does sit a little high, and that takes a little getting used to.  I put some black pipe insulation on my stock to give me a face-touch reference - works fine.  I have noticed that the POI changes a little with each reticle, so what ever you use to sight it in, stick with that for hunting.  I'm not sure if that is due to the projection of the reticle on the lens, or if I end up aiming in a different spot based on the reticle - but I use the open circle and like it a lot.

I had one. I can't tell you how it handles recoil because it broke about five minutes after I got it mounted.

I am on my second year of using one and it has worked flawlessly. What more could I want than that? I replaced the battery in it just before the season this year just in case and carry a fresh one in my vest.

I originally raised the comb by cutting off the arm of a neoprene wetsuit and sliding it on the stock. I then added a few extra pieces under it until it was the right height. Before season this year, I went ahead and made a 5/8" comb riser out of poplar, custom fit it to the stock, epoxied it in place and sanded it down to blend in with the lines of the stock. I then camoed the whole gun to hide the work. It added just a few ounces to the 20 gauge.

thanks guys for your responses. on the poi change with reticle changes how much did it change it? also i would like to know if you had to rezero when you changed batteries. and for the person who had theirs break...what happened?

I mounted it on a railed attached to the rib above the forearm. I was holding it in firing position and pushing the reticle selector with my thumb. The reticle selector knob broke while I was changing reticles. It was just a defect in the part.
