Reviews & Ratings for NOVUS Precision PDS1 25mm Prism Dot Sight — 7 reviews — Page 1

This is a really neat sight if you’re looking to build Ukraine War style AK or AR etc. Also nice for a change from the cookie cutter red dots that everybody has.

Since this is optic, READ the MANUAL. Any questions you might have are covered there. The negative reviews I’ve seen online are all easily solved if Fudd had just picked up his specks and tried to sound some words out.

This is NOT a holographic sight, it utilizes a prism like a Burris AR1X or similar. Stop crying that it’s not like your Eotech.

Plenty of brightness settings, gobs of internal adjustment, and it’s refreshing to shoot thru something foreign and different.

I’d have a Chinese made optic than a Russian one for a few reason. But that’s another thing people cry about. If you’re anger typing on your Chinese-made phone while wearing your Chinese-made MAGA hat this scope might not be for you.

The Novus PDS1 arrived unharmed and unscrutinized 2 days early. Very impressive service from Optics Planet. The optic itself is very nice, easy to zero and very sturdy. Looks absolutely at home on my Zastava M70. It’s just awesome, definitely pick it up next time Optics Planet has a sale.

I haven't got a chance to use it at the range yet, but if you've got bad astigmatism like me this optic should give you a nice crisp reticle. For me it looks better than any Eotech or Aimpoint. Not saying its up to the same specs, but its doesn't hurt my eyes to use. It seems well made and robust and it takes AA which is a bouns. Ill Wright a follow up once i put some rounds down range.

First, I'd like to preface that I really wanted to like this one especially given all the favorable reviews on YouTube, etc. I have to say, I did when I first got it. It looks awesome on one of my AKs. It appears very robust and well-made and comes in nice packaging, though the battery is not included. The glass is VERY clear, the reticle is bright, the windage and elevation adjustment clicks are good and tactile, and the brightness adjustment wheel is also nicely executed. However, the one thing that was immediately apparent to me after powering up the PDS1 is that the 60 MOA circle reticle is not a circle at all, but a very well-pronounced oval stretched vertically. Another problem is that the reticle is badly out of focus, not grainy like you'd get with holographic sights like Eotech or UH-1, or jagged-like if you have astigmatism, but totally out of focus to the point where I can hardly make out the three BDC dots inside the circle. At the moment, it is not usable to me. I contacted Novus last week with no response to date.
