I have a Hakko Tacpoint (Aimpoint knock off) that I bought for $100 about 5 years ago and have it on my RRA Tactical it has never lost zero, never runs low on batteries, has been soakin wet and dropped and still functions flawlessly. I am not in Iraq or Afghan., proper but it accuratley helps makes my M-4 go bang. U can spend thousands of dollars on top of the line optics but if ur not breaking down doors and securing America these optics work fine. A lot of guys with deep pockets can get a little snobbish with the furniture but if it works then it works. A guy that works for me is one of the best hunters I have ever heard about, bagging black bear in Alaska, white tail in New York, Elk in Montana etc... all with a $150 Tasco.
