Reviews & Ratings for Meprolight MEPRO Foresight Red Dot Sight 1x20mm — 11 reviews — Page 1

I've had this sight for a long time, and it has a lot of potential, but is effectively abandoned by meprolight, and have not seen any updates or fixes for well over a year. Mine initially shipped with the round counter, but did not work, and an update removed it. The level indicator no longer works, and meprolight will not respond to any of my inquires about how it could be corrected. In my personal opinion, unless you really need multiple zeros for a single optic, you would be better served with their more basic red dots.

I too had trouble setting up the doubleshoot app but fortunately I got through to customer service, he was helpful. For some reason my serial number was registered once he corrected that the app was free. No monthly fee. I like the optic's recticle flexibility wish they would deliver with the upgrades as promised. Only other thing is I notice some light bleeding around the borders.

Okay so I wanted this optic FOREVER and finally was able to get it. It arrived yesterday and I dig the design and whatnot. HOWEVER the round counter to be added in a future update that was advertised a year ago is nowhere to be seen.

I also emailed Mepro customer service about initial difficulty pairing and got no response.

The "free" account on the double shoot app IS NOT FREE its 11 dollars a year. I emailed them and still have got no word back. All in all both company's support is awful. I have been torn if I want to keep the optic but the fancy gadgetry is in my opinion not worth it for what I believe is false advertising. Will be looking into Vortex, Sig or Eotech as I look into retuning this item.

This optic is one of the coolest optics I've ever used. At first I was worried cause it uses an app and with the way software optics are I'd assume it would be buggy or not work very well, but I was wrong. This optic is fantastic. It works as intended and is very fast and fluid in motion. No complaints at all. So I definitely recommend this 100%

Pros:
- The Foresight gives you a hint of the future in red dot optics
- You can select five reticules from a bunch of reticules on Meprolight smartphone app
- You can setup multiple profiles on the Meprolight (multiple weapons).

Cons:
- Not MIL-spec rated. Meprolight does not provide ANY valuable specs and that's because they don't want you to know the ugly truth.
- Sight firmware is glitchy.
- Poor quality display: There's a lot of green light leaking all around the display, it's extremely annoying.
- The display compass gives Magnetic North and you cannot manually adjust it for True North.
- Two years later Meprolight hasn't figure out to make the "shot counter" feature works. They finally release it in 2019 or 2020 and it was totally not working. So, they deleted the feature in the subsequent firmware update. And this feature is nowhere to be seen since.
- Rechargeable battery is not replaceable, ever, by anyone, unless you crack open the housing. Even Meprolight themselves won't replace the battery, I've asked them twice already about it. Their answer to me was: Don’t worry, the battery should last years.
- For the automatic digital zero feature you need to download an iOS / Android app that cost 8.99$ a year. Not a one-time 8.99$ purchase! But a yearly fee of 8.99$!

I bought it because the salesman told me it was MIL-spec like all the other Meprolight optics. Oh boy it's not! After harassing a Meprolight rep with dozens and dozens of emails I finally got th...

CANNOT go wrong with ANY Meprolight product! Proven in actual combat and with this unit specifically, the holographics and software functions are amazing. The ability to program for multiple weapons is great, as well as the function of using your smartphone.

The sight shows a reverse image of everything that is being displayed other than whats in the center of the sight. Example the compass is on the top left, in the bottom right you can see the compass reversed. If you turn all the other features off this problem goes away. Yet why purchase it if your not using any of those features? Then if you plan on using the autozero feature you have to download a second app to your phone and subscribe to a $8.99 monthly fee!!!

Those Israelis know what they are doing. This is very easy to use and features are top notch. Menu is easy to navigate also the options of switching out reticles is a bonus. Battery life not as bad as they made it seem it was more than enough for a full day of shooting.

Loved all the features this sight has to offer. Field of view was large and all of the reticle options were clear. Setup and pairing with your phone or other Bluetooth device was easy. The only negative is the battery life. It didn't even last a week turned off in the safe.
