I came across this sight on the interwebs today and thought is was a pretty interesting system. I'm curious if anyone on here has used one?

I have one. Bought it as a backup sight mounted on top of the front scope ring of my ar-10 and have since moved it to a 6.5" .357 Blackhawk where it is much better suited.
There is a rather small "sweet spot" in terms of eye relief. At anything close to receiver distance, the triangle reticle is much too small. It grows as you get further away and is just right at pistol distance. You might be able to mount it in a scout rifle configuration or on the gas block of an AR with a riser.
Though it is not as noticeable at pistol distances (both eye relief and shooting) the horizontal line and triangle that form the reticle are not at the absolute top of the block of fiber optic. As a result, there is a green strip above the reticle that partially obsures the target. Makes precision shooting 100+ yards very difficult. It's not quite as crisp as the image you've attached.
They say it's parallax free but altering cheek weld makes the triangle jump around.
I like it as a pistol sight. For a muzzleloader, I would stick with peep and globe with fiber optic.

Thanks for the response. That is exactly what I was looking for. I was wondering just how precise you could be with it. Sounds like it is better suited for closer range, less precise, applications.

Use it on my CVA Accura Mountain Rifle.

100 yards - Target is a 4" bulls eye for group size reference.
