I have to say, I like it better then their last offering, "The Green Berets, Afghanistan."
Again, superb detail. And they've almost got the stance right. Well, maybe since this guy is a Ranger he hasn't been to SFAUC, but still, keep the head up a little higher. Since he is using the "C Clamp" grip (or is he just switching on a light?) his arm needs to be fully extended, as does his buttstock, which appears to be collapsed all the way. More photos would help. Other than than, the stance isn't bad, assuming he's shooting on the move.
Never used the magnifier with my EOTech, but at least this one is nicely done.
Solid B.

Rob, thanks for your feedback.
Unfortunatelly I have no additional photos of the figure, but you can see the 360 degree view of assembled model on Assault website:

Can you explain why you don't use the magnifier with EOTech? I think I have seen some photos of that setup.

Looks fantastic! Great pose and very realistic. I like the civilian Nike and Under Armour gear mixed in.

I'm always in awe of these incredible offerings and could but wish that they'd consider WW2 figures with equal care & detail! Wow!
