Any experiences?

Looking for an inexpensive quick release red dot for an AR.

Silly guess, did you just go to a gun show?

No, but that is where I come across Osprey.
They are a regular at the show.

No experience for me. But the paltry number of reviews on Amazon definitely fit the description of "mixed".

Distributor site claims the owner invented the laser bore sight and holds the patent. Osprey apparently has been in business since 2014 and they state yes, they do hit the gun show circuit.

Appears to be offshore production but it's rare something isn't. Even civilian sales Aimpoints come from China, as reported by competitors observing their own products being manufactured in the same factory.

Best source of reviews would be the internet vendors who resale the products. I find reading the 1 star ratings informative, for the dates posted, the issues, and also to sort out what model is likely good or bad. I've done that with other products and sussed out what might be the better buy - and a competitor selling the same item may or may not be getting a higher quality product. Jackets and web gear are rife with backwards zippers and off handed strap assemblies - goes to details we expect to work properly being reinvented by a foreign perspective.

Buyer be aware.

I as just at a show Friday, and they had a big booth. That's why I said that. But that's the only place I see them.

AFAIK All Aimpoint sights are made in Sweden. There are numerous counterfeits though.
