I am cross eyed dominant and I was wondering if this Red Dot could help me, I really seem to like this one. Others tell me to get the EOTech but $$$$$

I would also go with either the Votex SPARC red dot or the Bushnell red dot..

I purchased this red dot and returned it. I am also cross dominant. When shooting with a rifle scope or red dot, eye dominance, in my opinion isn't as important as when you shoot with a handgun. If you have the $$$ go with an aim point or eotech. I returned the HD7 because the windage adjustment did not work. I went w/the cheaper option and replaced with the Bushnell red dot. It gets the job done.

I am also cross eye dominant, and as with all red dots you should be shooting with both eyes open, which should help. I have not found much difference in performance from a "can you see it" perspective between this, an EOTech, and an ACOG, they all work about the same for addressing the cross eye dominance issue.

Since it is best to use this lucid red dot with both eyes open., I believe this one would work the best for you. The quality is great and the price is also great. I would buy one of these for all of my tactical style guns.

Unless your target is 1000 yds away, you won't cover it with the very tiny single dot reticle. The dot circle may obstruct you view a little at normal ranges but you still have 2 other choices and one of them will allow you to get on target fast without obscuring the target. I was just at the range a week ago and was very pleased with how well this sight performs. And yes, the single dot reticle is my first choice precisely because it doesn't obscure the target.

Dave, as far as I know the sights have to be for your specific weapon. I purchased one for my MP Shield. Personally, I didn't like it at all, aim point sucked. it's a fixed sight. Had to aim way high to hit my target. Looks great though..Removed it immediately when I got home from the range.

Personal preference to co-witness your sights or not but I would with flip ups. You can drop your sights down and out of the way when using the red dot. If you co-witness you will want a medium riser and to put the sights below the red dot and not co-witness a high riser.

1X red dot sights (RDS) typically have unlimited eye relief. If you can see the dot, you can get the hit no matter how close or how far your eye is from the RDS. I placed it at T5 on my full Picatinny and zeroed it in; I now get an approx. 3" grouping at 50yds, which is all I'm after for this gun & sight.

I first used a daisy scope I had on hand, but I could not get it moved far enough forward to be comfortable to use. I now have a daisy red dot sight that works much better. Since it is winter and I can not get to the range, I do not know how it shoots yet.

Red Dots are Okay at reasonable ranges. But the AR platform has a tremendous potential for accuracy. One cannot, in my experience, take full advantage of that potential without a good scope. There are better ones, but my Browning White Gold Medallion will shoot less than 1 MOA @ 300 yards with this scope. Dollar for dollar you cannot go wrong with this one. Lemme know if I can offer more help.

the scope has various levels of brightness that I believe will change the dot's moa? it's only a guess but I would guess the lowest setting is sub moa and it's brightest is probably moa to 2 or 3 moa? I typically use the dot to assist with lighting conditions. but the low level is usually adequate for most lighting conditions. if necessary i will adjust the brightness so as not to cover the target. I hope this may help?

It's a 4 plex reticle. No mil dot, no hash marks of any kinds. Looks like 4 arrows pointing towards dead center. The glass is flawless, the light absorption is awesome, the turrets are great. Being that Redfield was bought out by Leupold it is made by their standards but not with their price. The Objective Diameter is pretty big. I had to buy Ultra High rings to mount to my AR. I'm pretty pleased with the scope. I would like a mil dot reticle but for the price it's pretty solid. Anything else I can help you with?

On the CQB or home defense side, if you think your life will depend on it you may want to mount a Fastfire III or similar 1x holo sight on the top rail for really short distances, ESPECIALLY in low light. With the 3x magnification it is very difficult to ID, acquire, and aim quickly... even with the CQB reticle. You may be able to, but I can not keep both eyes open with this sight without getting disoriented.

For one thing, you get significantly better light gathering capability, extending your hunting time. A few years back, my daughter and I were deer hunting in a blind late one afternoon. I was using a cheaper scope on my 30-06 and she had my .308 with a recently purchased Leopold. It was getting late and I couldn't see well enough to take a good shot, so I told her it was time to go. She said "No Dad, I can see fine!" She handed me her rifle and I was amazed at the difference. After that, I have only bought Leopold scopes.

I would only reccommend it with pop up sights. My pop up sights align w the center of the optic where the dot would be if the battery fails. Then I can flip up the front sight and use it. If your iron sights are fixed, it may obstruct your vision of the red dot.

If I were you, I would put a good red dot on it. A cheap scope comes with the package. Hope this helps.

I actually purchased this optic to see how it compared to the Eotech 512. For an economy optic it seems top notch. I tend to mount my optics a bit further back but even with the magnifier attached it didn't seem to have any eye relief issues. At the end of the day this is a reflex sight and even with a magnifier there shouldn't be any relief issues. Having said that the only real issue I noticed was a very small loss of field of view. It is minor but likely is the result of the magnifier threading into the housing not around it. Overall this is a solid optic at an economy price and should serve you well.

No, but none of the others will either. The crosshairs will be all you see from 3x and up. Only on low power will you even see the front sight. Now you may get lucky like I did, when my scope is on low power (1x to 2.5x) I can see and use the front sight post, but this is a freak bit of luck, but not guarenteed. I say get it anyway, if you feel it's too low you can buy an inexpensive riser

Yes, the cross hairs are actually very nice. I wouldn't count on the red dot since the cover will not secure on the turret. The glass is quality, the battery cover is trash.

I have used this with an EoTech. Would guess red dots would be Ok, but not a magnified rifle scope, eye relief issues.
