Acceptable budget optic with clear compromises - ADE Advanced Optics RD3-002 Tactical Micro Compact Reflex Red Dot Sight

This red dot feels like a classic “budget compromise” optic. It does the basics: holds zero, provides a usable dot, and mounts securely. At the same time, the glass isn’t especially clear, battery life requires attention, and the dot isn’t as crisp as I’d like. I don’t regret buying it, but I also wouldn’t choose it again now that I know its limitations.
