Expert Review This sight has a lot going for it. - Meprolight Tru-Dot Red Dot Sight

The lens is crystal clear, no color change or aberrations showed, even at the edges. The dot is clear and sharp. The quick release levers clamp down tight to a picatinny rail, yet still flip easily when you want to pull the sight off. While the nuts for the clamps look a little ungainly, while mounted to my quad-rail they were out of the way and never contacted my fingers under recoil. The use of a AA battery means that you wont have any issues finding a replacement, when the time comes. The uncapped adjustment dials were easy to use, yet didn't shift inadvertently. The brightness dial is concise and easy to manipulate.

On the down side I was not able to use the irons on my AR while the optic was mounted. The body of the optic obscured the front sight too much for the irons to be usable. I had to take advantage of the QD levers on the optic to transition to iron sights. I also would have liked another brightness setting that was a little more intense. While I was able to see the dot while shooting on a bright day near noon, a little more intensity would not have been a bad thing.
