Performance notes
Owners who mounted it on rimfire and shotgun platforms reported it holding zero through repeated shots, and one reviewer specifically praised its visibility in bright sunlight on both the red and green settings. The exception was a muzzleloader owner who saw group sizes open from 2 inches to 12 inches at 100 yards after mounting the sight, then return to normal with iron sights.
