First red dot - satisfied - Vortex OPMOD StrikeFire II 1x30mm Reflex Red Dot Sight

Impulse purchase! Heard red dots work well with aging eyes. Arrived promptly and well packaged. Initially not impressed with the clarity of the red dot, but after reading some web postings, I realized that astigmatism will affect your perception of the dot. My unfamiliarity with red dots caused my expectations of resolution to be too high. If you are inexperienced with this type of sight (as I was) and a senior (as I am) don’t expect a perfect dot. Focus on the target and let the dot guide you.

After comparing the dot to my son’s Aimpoint T2, I decided it is a keeper! I trust the high number of positive reviews as to holding zero, so I look forward to sighting in soon.
