John's Review of Steiner R1X Reflex Sight

I bought this because it seemed to have the same characteristics of an Eotech, but it ended up being more of a cheap knockoff. While you can still acquire targets with the same quickness you’d expect with an Eotech, the reticles leave a lot to be desired. You have your main red dot, and three red dots below that for varying distances to the target. However these dots all give off a significant glare, to the point that it’s rather hard to distinguish them. So it comes out looking as though they’re all mashed together. This leaves your options as only to use the top of the red mass in your sight or the bottom of it to aim. There are only 3 brightness settings (5 if you count the night vision settings), so it’s impossible to turn it down to a setting which eliminates the glare and allows you to concentrate on the smallest part of the red dot possible. A $500+ sight shouldn’t have this problem. If you’re going to spend that much, you’re better off going with Eotech or Aimpoint.
Pros:
  • Target acquisition
  • speed
Cons:
  • Price $$$
  • Overall quality
  • retical quality
  • brightness adjustment
Would Recommend: No
