Let me start by explaining why I almost returned this scope on day one. When I first received the unit I fired it up and went out onto the porch to check it out and everything was super crisp and clear, the dot was laser crisp with no ghosting or bloom effect. Later that evening I decided to check out the various brightness levels and noticed I was getting ghosting with a touch of bloom, I was indoors under poor light and was now skeptical and was almost ready to return it but decided to experiment with different lighting conditions.
Next day, fist thing in the morning under low morning light I took the scope out and sure enough it was super crisp and clear again. I realized that it needs light beyond that of indoor CFL to work as intended. I tried it out again in day light, sun shine and low light evening and it was still crisp and clear. So if you try this scope out in a low lit indoors and have a blurry reticle, keep in mind this requires outdoor light even if its low outdoor light.
My next goal was to try out several red dots from all the local stores around me to see if something worked better or even the same but was cheaper and after trying red dot after red dot, nothing compared. Below is the features that others don't have or lack:
- T-Dot style - this reticle is both super fast to acquire your target and full of precision because of the 3 moe center dot. most other units had just a dot, bigger dot or just a single color (red or green) but not both.
- Brightness levels that work! - every setting is visually seen and actually makes a difference using it. You will use the various settings and unlike cheep dot scopes, this one doesn't increase the size of the reticle as the brightness increases.
- Standard batteries - so many dot scopes out there take weird, expensive hard to find battery's, this one takes a standard, cheap easy to find battery!
- Long Battery life! - Based on reviews out there, people have left the scope on for 4 weeks and still had a dot! That should translate to a very long time of use when actually turning it off!
- Easy to read state - You can easily tell when the unit is off or what level your on thanks to the numerical dial.
A few other things I want to comment on are how ridged the brightness level dial is, it clicks very firmly and is very high quality. The scope also attaches firmly by hand, so it's very quick to come on and off even though after using it you will always want it on! I have tried so many red dots and this one stands so far above the pack that I can't recommend it enough and after you use the T-dot style reticle you won't settle for anything else! 5 stars and then some! Any questions, feel free to ask.
