Yep. I have one. It's comparable to the origiunal Docter Optik and JP enterprise mini red dot. The main difference from the Docter Optik is that it has an on/off switch. It's also much less money. It's a dencent small optic and LaRue tactical makes some nice rugged mounts for it.

I mounted mine on my M1A on a clip guide rail

I had just placed one on top of a Ruger 10/22 I'm using as a teaching aid. It replaced an EOTech whichsat just too high. I was going to shoot it today except I FORGOT THE TINY SCREW DRIVER TO LOOSEN/TIGHTEN AND ADJUST THE TINY ADJUSTMENT SCREWS. I really like the compactness and ease of the sight.

Finally did get around zeroing in the Burris (made sure I had the screw driver i nthe tool box before the trip to the range).

I like it. Particularly the size and low mountability. Not only was the EOTech tall, but it was on a Power Custom rail which is tall itself.

Replaced the PC rail with the newer stock Ruger 10/22 rail (with Weaver interface). The Burris adjusted very easily and precisely. Image does not distort until you are about 1/8" from the side edges and 1/16" from the top. No parallax at 50 yds that I saw (when within the distortion edges). Stayed zero easily, but it was a .22 though. Not confident of its drop/bang-around durability on heavier guns like GT's M1A. I like the slide switch better than the EOTech's push button. More positive and you know if it is off or on without looking. Wouldn't hesitate buying another if I needed to.

Put one on my S&W 686 last week. Have only shot with it a couple of times and have rather mixed feelings. It is absolutely great compared to trying to line up target, front and rear sights.... just put the red dot where you want the bullet to be. The down side is that so far it takes me a second or so to actually find the red dot. I figure that is mostly a matter of experience though... with more practice it should become a lot easier.
