This optic is worth the hype! The ACSS reticle is fast and easy to acquire, and performs so well Trijicon uses it in the latest ACOG. I prefer this reticle to others used in competitor's AR-type optics - faster to range targets and much more user-friendly. The illuminated reticle doesn't wash out in bright light (that I've encountered yet, anyway), and the fact that it's etched on the lens means that even if it does, or the battery dies, you can continue to engage. The Gen III offers several improvements over the Gen II, and this optic is worth every penny and more - you won't find another optic of this caliber in this price range. The glass is clear, no tinting that I can tell, and the overall quality rivals, and in most cases bests, other optics costing much more.
Not all sunshine and roses though. The focus ring seems a little loose for what should be a set-and-forget aspect (once it's set to your vision, why change it?), and the rear cap fits on the focus ring - so any bump or shift can throw your reticle slightly out of focus. The easy fix is to take the cap off, focus the reticle, then reinstall the cap vertically so returning it to proper focus is as easy as realigning the cap. The "snap" and grip when closing the caps is a little weak also - any little nudge pops them open. This can be a good thing under pressure, but a minor annoyance while carrying. The caps do fit firmly on the housing though, so no complaints there.
All in all, my issues with the optic are minimal and minor - nothing that actually affects the performance of the optic. It rides well on my 3-gun rifle and I wouldn't trade it for a competitor's optic for twice the price.
