I don't have one, but it's cheap and has pretty good reviews

Well, its not an ACOG, its a cheap imitation of one.
Buy it then drag it through mud/sand . Kick it around a bit. Drop it. That's what I did with a real issued ACOG. The flip up lense covers broke but it still retained its zero.
Report back.
There is no such thing as an "ACOG type" optic, its not a standard by any means. Trijicon developed and trademarked it then some company ripped it off.

We spend so much on ARs; on MPI bolts, mil-spec this and that - then we top it off with a knock-off optic

whoa I never said it's an acog, just a cheap acog type optic. I wouldn't expect it to be anywhere near as durable as a real acog. people have been looking for cheap optics so I thought I'd post that up

I wonder if it will be good on a 22lr that doesn't see any mud/sand or hardcore action?
