| Review: |
This is a wonderful scope on the A-5 once I manufactured an offset sight rail so that I could see past the A-5's huge hopper. Much better than the sights on the A-5 and it looks great to boot!
Only thing that annoyed me was the fact that the front pin of the mount requires a weaver rail to mount the sight, this is done so that the sight doesn't move around on a firearm with recoil. Wasn't really a big deal because we had to manufacture a custom rail mount but I can see where some owners would be put out with the extra expense of a weaver rail. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recommend this 50mm Red Dot to anyone playing bushball or scenarios.
Excellent target acquisition. |

| Review: |
This was kind of a spur of the moment 'this would be cool on my tippmann' moment when I bought this. Overall I like it, but it takes some getting used to since you can't dial it in 100%. The best this I found was to get it close to your spread at say, 50 ft. and learn how far you need to compensate up to hit 75, 100, 125 ect. feet. It's fairly cheap though, so it's not too much of a commitment if you don't like it.
I personally found it was pretty easy to tilt my head to the side and see though the sight with one eye, giving me an idea where my gun of pointed all the time when time get a little heated during some cat and mouse games.
Also, during the first game it took a direct hit to the front lens. Aside from being foggy because I couldn't clean it correctly on the field, it took it like a champ. No breakage, no cracking, nothing.
Just remember to turn the damn thing off when you're not using it! >.<
Also, this is meant for a weaver rail. To get it to fit on my tippmann, I had to pop out the front bolt. Even with only one bolt holding it on, it went through an entire day of jumping, sliding, and overall roughhousing without budging at all. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Looking for a cheap little red dot sight? This will do. |
