Review for
Gideon Optics Omega Red Dot Reflex Sights
Compared to my C-more RTS-2 it is hands down a better optic. Also they are very responsive for warranty requests. I thought I had an issue but it turns out it was a poorly threaded barrel causing me trouble - Gideon was quick to respond and it was a real person, not a chatbot. Glass lenses clean well and resist scratching as well. Total weight of the optic is just 50 grams with screws and battery.

works great but springs rusted
Written on Jul 17, 2026
Magazines have run very reliably for about a year and now three of the four have Rusty Springs and are losing power and causing failure to feed. Cannot figure it out because they’re stored in the same location with low humidity. Will have to find upgraded springs next.
set it up one of three ways
Written on Jul 15, 2026
Works great as is but if you add a reflex site try to keep it around 65 gram or less and be sure to use a suppressor with it so it cycles reliably. Follow manufacturer ammo recommendations - CCI mini-mag and REM Golden bullet work great. Tried to mention a resource that I used but OP pulled that review… none-the-less do your homework and you won’t regret it.
Great aesthetics
Written on Jun 27, 2026
Works well. On top of a Ruger Mark 4 with a Lobos Industries mount it’s tough to beat for looks. I had a QC issue that required it to be sent in. It was taken care of, but not nearly as quickly as Vortex and at my dime for shipping to the manufacturer. Function and brightness levels are as expected and I can shoot it very accurately. It’s simply a good site. You get what you pay for here.
perfect squeeze

Cole-Tac Woobie Bag Stretch
I've been using this with an AR-15 pistol brace, various magpie stocks, and traditional wood stocks and is the cat's meow. Give it a squeeze to find the right elevation on the butt stock and it's good to go. Cole-Tac always makes quality stuff in the USA. Support them if you can and you will not be disappointed (I also have some soft gun cases and holsters from them which I also really like).
I own 6 - they are the best
Written on Jun 16, 2026
I read a review over 14 years ago that prompted my first purchase. Since then I keep buying more because the design is the best. It indexes exactly the same each time because of special index pin design (no sliding forward or back on the rail before locking it). And the lock up is simply the best - high tension spring/no adjustment needed. Never gets loose. Others may look more modern but this one is the best functioning. I'm still amazed how well it holds zero each time. For what you get the price is excellent too!
DLC is wrong for this
Written on Apr 13, 2026
The overall design and material used for this part is excellent. I have another one with a nitride finish and it is perfect. DLC is not a good finish for this kind of part. It will chip and rub off very easily if you use any kind of wrench to torque this on or off. It’s also very slippery and the threads are DLC coated, which makes it difficult to rockset without first abrading the DLC coating on the threads… nitride is a much tougher and better choice for this part. My nitride version still looks brand new.
If I could, I would swap this out for a nitride coated or bare metal finish hands-down.

perfect with Q G-sling

Works perfectly with a Q G-sling or similar sling. Just keep in mind it’s not a QD compatible end plate.

Cross Armory Castle Nut Wrenches
Perfect fit on the castle nut - did not round over, or gall the threads on the buffer tube or the castle nut. In short, well made tool that fits very well and doesn't scratch or mar. For the price, it's an easy recommendation.
perfect fit with faxon barrels

Faxon Firearms AR Bolt Complete 5.56
Used with a 5.56 Faxon 10.5” barrel it matched up perfectly and is shooting 1.25” groups (5 shot) at 75 yards. Highly recommend buying a bolt carrier and then getting the bolt and barrel from Faxon.
