Ok, i will readily admit... - ADE Advanced Optics APOLLO-PRO Red Dot Sight

... that growing up with iron sights has made it a bit difficult for me to make a smooth adjustment to electronic optics (other than prism scopes for SBRs and such) and so I claim no expertise in this area and am still on the voyage of use and discovery when it comes to such.

However, having been exposed to (and owning) a good number of red dots, reflex optics, and the like, it is really not that difficult for me to separate the low-end junk from the middle-of-the-road "good" stuff and finally, the higher-end offerings. Some of the higher-end offerings also unfortunately have the higher-end price tags, so much higher-end that they cost more than the firearm, which is something that I find a bit objectionable -- kinda like having a set of wheels on a car that cost more than the car.

This dot has all the characteristics of the higher-end stuff with a more palatable (for me) price tag. Shake awake and such is becoming more and more common, as are clearer and brighter reticles, and this unit exemplifies those advances. I think it's worth a look.

For what it is, what it does, and what it costs: Five Stars
