Reviews & Ratings for Sun Optics Red Micro Dot Sight w/ T-Dot Reticle — 4 reviews — Page 1

I use my 22lr rifle and the reticle jumps all over and then I took it off and put the Sun Optics on my 556 rifle. After 3 shots of from my rifle the center glass came loose and broke off inside. If they do a little QA stress test before sending out

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.
