Took almost 8wks on backorder from Optics Planet. Worth the wait as an HD7 Gen III showed up. Range report ASAP. Co-witnesses very nicely w/ the front sight. Haven't decided on the BUIS yet. Supposed to be .458 Socom rated.

What made you decide to go with that over the more common offerings?

Since my primary use will be 2 and 3 gun matches I couldn't justify the price of the more proven and popular offerings. Also, I have a gut feeling this optic and the Lucid company as a whole is/are a sleeper in the industry.

This is the first I've seen of this optic.
How does it compare to the Vortex stuff? Seems to be priced comparably.

This one struck me a bit more refined in design than the Vortex and from what I read reveiwed better. That being said I have no practical experience w/ either. I will be able to speak to the Lucid's performance hopefully this weekend.

Should have saved a little longer and gotten an Aimpoint. The lucid is money down the drain.

Would you mind expanding on that?

Opinion is one thing. Technical, documented evidence to support stated opinion is another.

I have one of the first gen lucid hd7's. Since it's my least favorite optic I've got it on my sig556 which is my least favorite rifle.
Maybe the new ones are better.
