I was yesterday at a local hunting show and was happy to see a dealer exhibiting red dot sights. I was interested into Aimpoint 9000L-2MOA and Hunter H30L-2 MOA. Since I didn't have a chance to examine those sights before, I took opportunity to see what Aimpoint offers. Since I am considering 9000L-2MOA, I took that one first. Well, I was bit disappointed with that "tunnel effect", but my biggest problem is that instead of red dot, I see something like this:
Of course, it is quite small in the sight, but I could clearly see it. Well, since I just turned 70, and I am farsighted (of course), I thought that there is something wrong with my eyes. I asked another person to check what he sees, and he told me that to him it looks like dot, but more likely some kind of blend between dot and curve, he wasn't sure. When looking through Hunter H30L, I could see the same.
Than, I took my phone and snapped the picture, and you can see red dot, not that strange red curve above:
When I had a chance years before to check some scopes with red dot, I could see full picture, no "tunnel effect", and red dot is a RED DOT.
Hope to visit some stores next days and compare Aimpoint with some other red dot sights and scopes with red dot.
Anybody has the same problem?
