While my HD7 is to new to say much regarding durability, it does appear to be pretty well made. Comparing it to my EoTech 552 or an ACOG would be a stretch... I have seen several military type Aimpoints fail (always a dirty rotary switch) so I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the Lucid fairs better. In fact, I fully expect it to. The point is, for $213 shipped, it appears to be a heck of an optic. Once it is a bit more proven (thru personal experience), it may be suitable for use on more than a training rifle.
