I use my FS2000 standard mostly for 3-gun and I was having some trouble with getting accurate hits at longer ranges with the factory 1.6x optic. So I purchased a SpecterDR, brought it home and attached it.
When I went to the range the next day to sight it in, my first shots were at 25yds just to make sure I was on paper. I had the front end of the FS resting on the tailgate of my truck and I was sort of half crouched behind it. And the shots were just 1.5/2" below center and pretty well perfect left/right. I didn't even touch the optic other than to attach it. Next I shot at 50yds and they were right on the money. Awesome, and without any adjusting at all. Next I shot at 100yds. I was using a stump to rest the front end of the gun on and I was sitting on the ground behind the stump. Not the best for stability but I was all I could do at the time. The first five shots were 2.5/3" high but centered left/right. The next six shots I aimed the width of the red dot low and got 2of6 hits right in the bulls eye.
I'm pretty happy with those results. I'm sure if I had a proper rest I could seriously improve on those results. It was also very hot and humid and I was sweating like crazy, I was a bit uncomfortable sitting the way I was too.
As for the optic - I can't believe how clear it is. When it's on 1x, bringing it up to firing position there is no change in the view except now there is a red dot and crosshairs. It's like looking through nothing. There's no distortion/movement between just looking forward and then bringing the gun into firing position and looking through the optic. I had to do it over and over just to try and see ANY sort of difference at all and couldn't. Truly amazing.
I can't wait for my next 3-gun match.
