Has anyone used the 8 MOA version of this product? Is that better for shotgun applications because the red dot will be larger for closer ranges?

Negative. I have them on 2 ARs and one a a Hi-POINT carbine but no experience on shotgun.

It is a 200mW laser that runs at 532mw. From my experience using my spotting scope while it was on a bench I will tell you at 100yards is right at 4 MOA. Of course every laser expands the further it is thrown. My thought is for the price of this unit and at 4 MOA at 100 yards, I'll take those stats. My AimPoint Pro that is on the same rifle is a 4 MOA dot... I can't ask for more.

Hi, reflex sights in general are mostly used for fast short to mid range target acquisition and i belive the smalest reticle for this sight ia 3 moa. At 50 yards the reticle covers a 1.5 inch circle at a 100 yards it covers a 3 inch circle thats what 3 MOA means. I only explain this to to show for instance if you were looking at a target at 300 yards the reticle would cover a 9 inch circle so depending on your purpose such as hunting, target shooting or zombies. Back to your question, you can sight in at 50 yards and depending on the zombie tranquilizer you are mounting it on, such as caliber, ammo load, barrel length balistics for instance a .223 caliber sighted at 50 yards would shoot high at 100 yards. A 12 gauge shotgun sighted in at 50 yards would shoot low at 100 yards. I'm sorry if this sounds confusing, it's probably my writing skills and my confused mind as well. In short if you give a bit more information on what you are looking to mount it on and caliber i cand give you a better answer. By the way it's a great sight for anything short of crazy comando ninja throw your weapon around as a grappling hook tactics.

I am not familiar with the red dot optic you are wanting to use... but will make a small suggestion, consider a 3x magnifier they are much more popular - and that is the only magnification that EoTech uses... just something to think about...

Yes, the 'V Brite' is the illuminated version - for the center dot only. It is not 'daylight bright' - so if you are expecting something like an Aimpoint - it isn't. I don't find that to be a problem - when it is bright daylight out I prefer the black dot - when the light is flat and low I like the red. Has worked very well for my entry level 3 gun needs.

I don't remeber the model #'s but the newer version of this red dot has the controls relocated. The old version was in a bad spot and would get turned on while not in use killing the battery. The new model has the contols in a better spot. There is also a new version with the new control placement and comes with a cantilever mounting bracket. Hope this helps, sorry I don't know the model #'s but I can tell you I love the one I bought, it's the new version with the cantilever mount. I have it on my AR and it's awesome, no where near the cost of an Aim Point or Trijicon. Easy to pick up, quick on target and so far no issues I've run probably close to 2000 rounds through my AR since I put it on.

Yes there is. If your scope is a true 1-4x it will Co witness with back up iron sights on an ar. That is with a 30mm tubed optic. I don't know how many MOA it actually is. Good question. I will get the measurement tonight

I returned the first Redfield I got because there appeared to be multiple red dots when looking through the scope. The seller sent me a second one, so I sold it before I ever opened the package. I purchased the Nikon P-223 BDC 600 Riflescope with Rapid Action Turret, Black, 4-12x40 from Amazon and am really happy with it. I've actually used it to hit plates at 200 m (at about 6X) standing without support in a competition, and it worked great on my Tavor.

Yes it does. The only thing to consider with it is that it also doubles the size of the dot. So your 2 MOA becomes a 4 MOA so keep that in mind if you are looking for long range precision shooting. That said, it is a great site.

Best bang for your buck red dot. Holding zero after 500 rounds. I love mine

7.5 is a triangle of pretty large size meant for close range (I'd say out to 25-40yds max). The 3.5 is a red dot half the size and more effective for longer range accuracy.

I still love mine. Red dot is very crisp. Scope is accurate up to about 75 yards then visibility is tough since there is no magnification. I think the 3x magnifier should be a cool add on for this scope. Not familiar with the Kel Tec but not sure if the laser would work with existing sights since laser is mounted at base of scope and might interfere with sights. Scope is nice quality and should be great for your needs

I would not go by what jimmy says because I would disagree I have 1 and love it. Very nice sight for the money. As for your question I believe it is a 5 moa.

Depends on the package you get. One has a red dot, one has a 4x scope with drop lines. I personally own the 4x scope and I'm very pleased.

I bought it for the red dot which is rail mounted and can go on any rail. The price was right and it works great. Love the red dot. The scope on the other hand is very low end and went on a cheap Airsoft pistol just for looks. But like I said the red dot has its own standard rail mounts and can mount under or on the sides where ever you have a rail . I liked it a lot

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'm unsure of the size in moa, but it has a few options. One is a circle similar to EOTech, another is single similar to Aimpoint, other is a crosshair style.
