This is the PA M3 with cantilevered mount. This is what I currently have on my AZ Armory AR. I like it a lot. I have not tortured it as of yet, but it has held zero through trips to the desert and range for the last 12 months. I really like it so far.

I bought two of the micro's over Christmas. Gave one to daughters BF and the other I kept for a build I'm working on. The reticle is bright enough even for use here in AZ. Had no problem finding a brightness level which could match the outside light and still be very visible. So far very pleased with the purchase. I compared them to a mounted VORTEX red dot in bright sunlight and found the PA micro was actually brighter and more defined. Will definately consider for future purchases...

I just ordered a Nikon M223 1-4x scope and PA extended mount from Marsh. I decided to spend a little more the scope to get a shorter and lighter one and its Christmastime!

I have been kicking around the idea of a PA reflex sight for my new-to-me 870, mainly for fun.

I got the same PA setup with the cant mount and like it.

I got the Lucid HD7 for Christmas and it is pretty nice too. I will put up a review later when I get to go shoot it.

I just recently got one of the micro dots for my SBR and I love it. I have to listen to Glen preach about them every time we get together for training so I figured I'd try it out. So far so good, I do not abuse my equipment, but it gets very well used. I also have one of the M3 clones on another rifle and pretty much love it. The quality is almost impossible to beat for the price.

Got an email a little while ago on the micro dot, was going for like $69 and came with the mount.

The dot on my PA is Kind of distorted a little but for the money it isn't bad.

You wouldn't happen to have a stignatism would you? Red dots have a tendency to look distorted...my stignatism even makes my aim points distorted..

If you think there is something with your PA sight, you should contact March. He will take care of it.

Not in my right eye, other optics are good and not saying the PA isn't but the dot isnt real clear, it is round until about the two o'clock position then goes outward. Nothing terribly bad but noticeable. May have to contact him and see what they can do.

I have an astigmatism in both my eyes but the PA dots have not been any more distorted than Aimpoints or Eotechs. Not even really that noticeable at all.

Hit up Marsh. The guy bends over backwards to make things right and keep customers happy.

You could always get Lasik, it 100% eliminated my astigmatism. It was horrible before, +4 I think. Of course you will have to sell one of your arms to pay for Lasik but I have been able to adjust to living with one less appendage. :D

I went shooting this past weekend and put the Primary Arms sight on and there was no problem with the dot. So it must have been a little glare when I was inside with lower light, my Lucid does the same but outside is very nice. I only wish the PA sight was brighter outside, was a little hard to pick up for me.

I guess I am going against the tide but I save my $$$ until I can buy a Nightforce. I know how have 4 along with 3 Leupy's and 4 ACOG'S. If I had it all to do over again they would all be a Nightforce.
Additionally I would never paint my scope but that's just me. Different strokes for different folks, all though I must admit some off the rigs look pretty nice.
