I recently found that the control knob for the illuminated reticle on my CMR had loosened and was wobbly. After taking it apart I found that I could fix the problem easily. If you have a similar problem you can take a look at the "Leatherwood CMR1424 Fix" video on my YouTube site to see how to repair it. Hope this may help.
I'd have to try it for myself, but $250-300 on a scope is a lot for me, and really, I don't want some of the problems it seems to have. Do they even calibrate it for the AK platform?
@DemonHide I don't think it is available for with BDC for the 7.62x39. Most of these types of scopes are calibrated for .223 or .308. Vortex offers a customizable elevation turret for some of their scopes which is a neat option. Although they are even more expensive not counting the price of the customized turret. Keep in mind, I was kind of hard on this scope in this review, but I am comparing it to scopes that cost 10x as much. For the money I think it does pretty well in adequate light.
@thalion70 It works great for my eyes. I've never had a complaint about this scope yet, other than its not as good of quality as other scopes 5x its price :)
@DemonHide I just bought one of these specifically for an AK, SGL-21 model. The BDC might not work, but Ive never seen one that is designed for 7.62x39 except the cheap, crappy russian scopes.
It works great-definitely save up for it. It is top quality.

@TheAnomalos I have heard that the cmr has poor eye relief. How usable is it for snap shooting?
