BURRIS AR-332 3x32mm Red Dot Sight with Ballistic CQ Reticle (300208)

I've had this 3x optic for a little over two years now. The good: Glass is clear and bright Optic is rugged and tough Illumination in red and green Comes with a mount, but will accept ACOG mounts. (I went with a QD GDI mount and love it) The OK/Could be better: The reticle - it's a BDCtype reticle but it's so big and clunky it's hard to use. The dots for your drops are unnecessarily large and cover most of your target. Plus the ring, while designed to draw your eye, really just obscures more of the target. Burris has some great BDC reticles, but this is not one of them. Eye relief - Like an ACOG, the eye relief is pretty limited. You pretty much need to run nose to charging handle because the design of the optic forces it to be further forward than needed. On an ACOG, the optic "hangs back" over the mount, on the 332 it doesn't so you quickly run out of rail space on the back of your receiver. Also, you can't run backup irons which may or may not be important to you. Despite the issues this is a great optic for the money. Sure, it's not an ACOG, but it's sturdy and solid and 1/5 of the price. I like mine and have run it on a couple different guns to see how it handles. Right now it sits on a 10.5" 300 Blackout pistol that I use for hunting and as truck gun.

I've had one of these about a year now, and it's decent for a mid ranged AR optic. I'm sure there are fancier, lighter, or cheaper options out there, but this is a good general purpose optic. I realized after I bought it that I'm not a huge fan of the fixed 3 power magnification, as it's not great for close ranges and not quite enough for longer range precision shooting, but that's not a product complaint as much as what I'm using it for.
