So i wanted to share my experiences with reflex sight what i just bought for my .22 LR Hammerli, but thing is - it have no name and i doubt it deserves all topic. So i just thought we can use some topic for short reviews of sights from wish, aliexpress, amazon and so. Either it will stick or not.
For my .22 LR i got sight which i picked based on... price and looks. Didnt really see reasson to overthink it in case of .22 LR. I payed about 30 USD (more expensive variant with faster delivery). Over here (Czech republic) is great price since lowest price for sights like this in regular store is about 120 USD (everything is expensive here)
First look was contradictory. While sight itself looks robust and solid enough, it came with some white dots on chasis (glass was clear). That sort of dots what emerges either by not-ideal storage or painting near by. No big deal, it smushed away while i was cleaning rifle (if you see black dots on photos, its from the gun cleaning).
Closer inspection came with stronger feeling about solid construction. There is no looseness in clicking between sight pictures (dot, donut of death, crosshair, circled crosshair) and colors, brightnes (green, red), but it clicked itsefl to diffrent birghtness while i was shooting - just once and after few round what i turned it on, so lets give it benefits of doubts and say i let it in between positions.
There is no auto shut down function
Sight was completly off after first intalation and adjustment are made by hex key.
Adjusting windage and elevation is firm and solid and sights itself is turning and elevating on its base.
Mechanism is quite open (see photos) so i would say there is chance to loose zero and also "not be able to change zero due dirt in mecahnism) at same time.
Im confident that for .22 LR it will be enough and will withstand even harser (well, "civilian" harsher, no fallujah level) conditions.
Not sure about higher calibre, but thats mayabe just "cheap sight" bias.
You can see laser emiting sight picture if you stay in front on elevate position, direct target would not see that
Overall: Good for .22 LR and practice, doubts about holding zero at calibres with more recoil
