I've been using the C-More Systems Railway 4 MOA red dot sight for about 18 months now. I have it mounted to a flat-top Rock River Arms Tactical CAR A4. I find it very useful out to 200 yards, and just the thing for a CQB carbine. Its lightweight design and low profile add minimal weight or bulk to the weapon, while the red dot is easily dialed up to a brightness visible on even the brightest of days - and it easily co-witnesses with the front & rear sights.
Installation was a snap, as the mount provided easily attaches to any weaver or 1913 rail. And I dialed mine in with a laser boresighter at 50 yards initially for use on a tactical range - but found it can be adjusted to engage targets out to 200 yards quickly and easily, using a small flat-blade screwdriver on my multi-tool to adjust the slotted knobs for windage for elevation as needed.
I never attempted anything beyond 200 yards, as I felt that was likely about the limits of my carbine's accuracy - and the 4 MOA dot would cover too much of the target at great ranges.
I've found the site to be rugged and durable, and that it holds its zero well - even after removing and re-installing at the same rail point.
More than anything, I liked the open-area view the Railway offered, since the dot was superimposed on a flat, open glass pane rather than having to look through a 30mm tube. Not having the tube there to obstruct your vision was another plus, preventing the habit of tunnel vision.
Before buying the C-More I consideered its more expensive competition, namely the Aimpoints and Trijicons - and having had experience with both in the military - I'm glad I chose the C-More. For my purposes, at least, it's every bit as effective on the tactical range, in the field, and in the 2 & 3-gun matches as those costing several times as much.
