CL at Kalifornia from United States, CA Public Profile

Overall, the construction is good and functional. Really nothing bad to say about it. The glass is clear with just a bit of tint to it. It's on par with Holosun and Primary Arms Red dot.

The one thing I do not like is that the circle dot reticle image is not constant. Meaning Swampfox is modulating the reticle...to save battery life I'm sure. But the pulsing / modulating can be seen by the eyes and can be a bit distracting. I did not have the same experience with my two Holosun and 3 Primary Arms red dot sights.

For me, this is sight is good for just plinking...but may not be the best for defense usage.

I mostly own medium priced red dot sights from $250 ~ $300 such as Bushnell, Holosun, and Hawke.
So I don't believe I'm a brand name red dot Sight snob.

I ordered this Sun Optics sight as it was unique with its red or green colored reticle instead of a typical single red dot.
Thought it may be okay for an airgun.

1. Even with its cheaper pricing, the body construction is on par with higher priced sights.

2. Glass has a purplish tint that the artist formerly known as Prince would love. However, glass is too dark for proper light transmission. I'm guessing the purple tint is required so that both red and green LED lit reticles can be displayed properly.

3. Came with high mount only. For giggles, I mounted the sight on my AR15. But it was barely OK for a 1/3 co witness. But again, this is going to be for an airgun.

4. The threads for the knobs covering over elevation and windage adjustments feels coarse, unrefined. Adjustments were pretty tight to turn.

5. I do like the unique reticle. Can be dialed in for red or green color.

I would not trust this for a self defense firearm. Should be fine if you are using it on a plinker.

Cheers.
