JonJ's Review of Athlon Optics Midas TSR3 36mm Red Dot Sights
I have two of these now. I typically buy Vortex, and was looking at Swampfox. But I tried one of these, based upon objective lens size and shake-n-wake feature. I'm glad I bought them. I have two, both mounting far forward (mid-rifle). I can keep both eyes open, and it's as intuitive as pointing a shotgun. The dot is crisp and clear. The larger lens allows me to see more when mounted forward, but not big enough to obstruct my view. I found that if you move it forward, your view actually gets larger (you don't see the insides of the sight, and see more of a clean, round view through the optic.) Nice product, looks great. Clean design. It's nice to know I grab the rifle, and the optic turns on. They don't provide torque nut specifications, but I called and they said 35-45(?) in lbs. (Wow, that's tight). I tightened to just shy of 35, and it's fine. I wish they provided (or sold) flip down lens covers. Overall, I'm very happy with the product, and ordered another one.
Pros:
easy to use
Clean design
shake-n-wake - always on
Cons:
No torque specs for nut provided
Needs to offer flip down lens caps
Best Used for:
Quick, reactive shots
Would Recommend:
Yes
