Reflex sights - Image quality of aiming dot?

[Bill_Rights]

TRGRHPY,

You know what? The RDP-II mini-dot from Tactical Night Vision Company IS THE SAME THING as the Burris Fastfire. Here're two photos from TNVC's web page (http://tacticalnightvision.com/red_dot_sights.htm) for red-dots:



The thing that clinched it for me is the shipping kit. Every single piece is the same as what you get with the Burris (well, the foam is cut a little different). But the elev. and windage adjustment dial is exactly the same, as are the tools. Maybe the lens coatings are a little different (TNVC is blueish, Burris FF is orangeish, but that could just be the light or angle). But the controls, shape and everything are the same.

So you say

Try covering the sensor hole with a finger or something and see if it gets lighter, remove your finger and it should get brighter. If it isn't adjusting, I'd send it back.

and I did try that. The red dot does dim down somewhat when I cover the sensor, but it never goes below a certain level, and for my eyes, that level is too bright for everything except bright sunlight - I get the really bad jaggy dot shape. But, yeh, yeh, I hear ya Sharps

red dot can be a little fuzzy..."forget about it!". It still works fine, gets tight groups (if you aim in the same place each time)

I could probably get used to it. Trying to decide if I will or not....

Voluntary end of thread, 2nd try

To round off this thread, I thought I'd share the best intro to reflex sights I've come across.
Electronic Sights; A look at why they exist, how they work, and how you use them. by Oleg Volk.

Wasn't Oleg a founder (or something?) of THR? Is he still involved? I am still a newbie, so old-timers speak up!
