I have one on a POF 308 and it works fine, dead on target.Have you checked you weapon to see if it's true with just the stock sights. If so then a higher rail may do the trick

have you shot it without the 3 power magnifier. I have one on a AK47 and it is pretty good. The shooter is more of a problem than the sight and gun when it is me. Try it on another weapon.

Are the quick releases tight? Is the focus on your magnifier correct? Which reticle do you have? Define accurate for you. It's a combat sight. Cover the target with the reticle and pull the trigger. At 50yds offhand, I'm shooting 2inch groups rapid fire with the amber triangle. Out at 100yards I can get a smaller group prone. That's as far as I've shot.

I purchased this sight system for a son. He seems to like it and has had no problems with the sighting system. Hope this helps you out.

It doesn't really matter man, this scope is a POS. Cool looking but crap. Over the course of one or two years, with little use, the x & y axis of the reticle has canted to the right so that the top of the y axis is nearly in the one o'clock position. You would think maybe bc of recoil right? Wrong. Mounted on a f***ing .22 lr. Steer Clear of NcStar Products.

Mine did need a small amount of calibration, my elevation line was too high. Fire at a fixed target from a padded flat surface.Mark your targets and check your calibration accordingly.

I don't recommend this light much at all, I would go to a gun shop to see what they have to offer, the light is very bright but as soon as you shoot the gun the light bounces out of alignment. The other issue with this particular one is that the flash light part does not thread on it is a twist and clip so it will be loose all the time. The one in the store actually threaded in so felt it would be more accurate. This is not accurate at all and does not matter how many times you set it. As soon as the gun is fired it will knock it out of alignment. Not sure why this one was so much different then the same one in the store even though it has the same box, and same model.

btw...my tasco world class3-9x40mm loses clarity with sundown or lower light. I forgot to note this point in earlier comment. it's a damn good build and buy for the money (51.99) but, more demanding purposes will require a much better scope. p.s. this would not be my combat scope on an ar15 either.

It was just not accurate for me at all. The rubber attachments just rely on a snug fit so to speak and I would not consider it at all. It has the rubber attachments for the rifles you state, but it just does not work well.

I own a Colt M4 carbine and I have the M2 front sight. It's factory and I don't want to mess with it. I have a Trijicon and a Bushnell sight, and ordered the UTG-1" adapter rail because the front sight was too high and the ACOG sight was not working. The 1" seems to do the trick for both sights, but I have not been to the range yet. That will tell the story, but I'm sure the problem was solved with the adapter.

Mine was real, don't know about the one ur getting. There are ways to determine though, u can look online to see the difference, one thing u'll notice is that if u focus on the reticle, it is blurry, it is meant for quick reaction and works with both eyes open. Reticle will come clear when U actually look at the target and not focus on the reticle. I did end up buying the 3x magnifier and when u put that on, it makes it clear, but the 3x is for long range, both eyes open won't work with the 3x magnifier. This is ideal for close range only.

I have the same problem. I tried hard to find out the solution for this problem and regretfully gave up. We should write a letter to the manufacturer about it. What I have done is to by myself a scope so the front sight misalignment does not interfere with my shooting.

Recoil PULSE on 22 AIR RIFLE is actually SHARPER and harder on scopes than 300 Win Mag rifle cartridge,, BEEMAN did testing on this in the 1980's,, surprising.. If memory is correct, they claimed their scopes lasted longer than even 50bmg vs 22 air rifle. FYI, free info is worth what it cost. THAT SAID: IF THE LIGHT DOESN'T STAY ON OR OFF LIKE IT SHOULD,, SEND IT BACK

Before I bought mine I heard Gamo rifles were very accurate. I too am not impressed with this model. There's also a big difference between shooting Gamo platinum pellets and non platinum pellets. You must rewire the scope when changing ammo.

I'm not clear what it is you're asking. I found the optic ok as is to picany rail. If you need to raise the optic higher, then that depends on you, i.e. Your eye level to rail.

Yes, we have two ARs at our local club equipped with the sight and the SightMark magnifiers...one with the 3X and one with the 5X. These have proven accurate out to 100 yards.

I love the quality and accuracy of my meprolight. Would choose it over eotech any day but not sure bout mako. Haven't seen those.

Hey, not sure if it is the same model exactly, but the one I have is NOT adjustable on magnification power. It has zeroing knobs (2), a knob for what I'd call 'size of dot', and a knob for 'brightness of dot'. Hope this helps some, but if I were you I'd assume that I and the factory are technically correct. Better be safe with paying for what you want!

I wasn't able to get proper alignment with my Eotech 512 and LaRue magnifier mount, despite the fact that they were both on the receiver rail (and were not spanning the handguard). The magnifier does not include azimuth adjustment, so it was not possible to alter the alignment. I returned the magnifier.
