Unfortunately nothing, except perhaps the appearance.

It would be immensely helpful if the product actually worked as advertised. It did not. Also the manual seems to be inaccurate, describing a separate on/off switch for the red dot next to the rheostat, which is not there.

I think I was shipped a defective, used item. The manual stated the battery would be in a plastic bag to prevent early discharge but it was installed in the scope. There was no separate on/off switch as the manual stated, but turning the rheostat to position 9 (of 12) seemed to turn off the red dot. Also the red dot was all the way over on the right side at 2 to 3:00 with no way to center it. I would not buy it again and hope I am refunded my full purchase price with no restocking fee. This should not be restocked, it should be returned by PA to the manufacturer or destroyed.

It fits 5/8 OR 3/b (11mm) dovetail rails.

- No magnification. - Red (dot) reticle only. (See below...) - Elevation & Windage KNOBS would have been nice. (What you see are just removable caps; adjustments must be made with screwdriver.) - Heavy.

This is my THIRD attempt to find a red dot scope for my Trevox, whose fixed sights seem worthless. This is my second BSA scope, that Pyramyd recommended when my first 11mm Red Dot would not fit the 11mm rails on my Trevox pistol, although the specs suggested they were compatible.

My first BSA scope was defective. (See previous review here.) The "dot" was a huge, useless red blur. The "dot" on my second BSA scope is better...smaller...especially on the highest brightness setting. However, less eye relief seems better than more (this is NOT unlimited eye relief), so might work best on a rifle...not a pistol. It remains to be seen whether I'll return this and ask for a refund this time. If so I guess I'll just throw the Trevox in the trash? Personally, I would and cannot recommend anyone purchasing either of these from any vendor.

Dual 3 & 5/8 compatibility.

Didn't work.

The "Red Dot" was a huge, splayed, distorted cloud and this sight was unusable.

Seems to work nice on the two rifles I've tried it on.

Adjustments, ease of set-up, clamp-attachment & red dot options...

Size-just a little large.

Very good product. I purchased as upgrade & replacement for Sig Sauer mpx

Well built, easy to install and fairly priced.

Nothing.

It takes a little effort to zero but once adjusted the performance is excellent.

Appears to be well made

I would like a lower light setting. Even on position 1 the dot seems too bright for indoor shooting

I am currently using it on a Benjamin Trail NP pistol. The sight keeps sliding back on me due to recoil. I am tightening the mounting screws as tight as I dare. Have to re position it about every 50 shots
