One feature that surprised me was the square bolts that fit in between the rail sections. They make for a snug fit that will not move. Coupled with the lock washers it is like a vise on your rail.
Just behind the elevation turret is a photocell that changes brightness according to your current lighting conditions. When you initially turn it on it is in the auto brightness mode, press the power button one more time and it will flash and switch to adjustable steady brightness. Should you be in low light (like a dark house) and shooting into brighter conditions, the reticle will probably wash out. That is one thing to consider.
I have been incredibly pleased with this optic and will continue to use it for everything from home defense to hunting.
