For use with weapon/airsoft: I find it impossible to see the sights and the target, as the monocular cannot focus on both simultaneously, any ways around this?

Use a red dot or HOLO and but the dot on the green setting and turn up the brightness all the way.

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.

I suggest you visit a gun dealer and let you try both, I find target acusistion faster and the adjustment for the red dot is very easy to adjust while you're on target. But tr both.

unsure tom, but i have a see thru mount to allow a scope and iron sights at the same time, they work well set at 50yds for me with it, and i imagine the clearances would be the same for you. i would suggest a different mount personally.

All scopes have a certain distance for eye relief. The Razor has a longer eye relief than my leopold or redfield scopes. So much so that the scope mount I had bought for it was no good enough. I had to get the vortex one piece offset mount that moves the scope forward another 1.5 inches. I had to figure this out by looking at what other shooters were using on their AR-15s.Also, as long as you are at 1x, you can shoot with both eyes open.

yes, I believe you can look directly into the monocular at close up objects, but it isn't the ideal.

I don't know how to mount the red dot scope either ! I have the same problem as it already has a visual sight mounted on top. There is no place to mount the red dot scope!

The scope is not designed to be co-witnessed with fixed iron sights. As previously stated, the reticle is visible with or without illumination, so it should be usable regardless of lighting conditions or dead batteries. If you want an alternative sighting system (for instance, a 1x non-magnified sight picture rather than 3x), I would recommend a set of 45 degree offset sights.

I'm running a cheap leapers red/ green dot sight and no problem with its co-witness. Once sighted in it stays on target after numerous times at the range. I take out the bullseye every time and I'm hard on the gun. I've got the a5 version. Stay cheap leapers is the way to go. Get it for 30.00 on amazon. Good luck!

you might suffer from astigmatism of the eye you use when aiming. Try with your other eye and see if the issue goes away...

Dude maybe it's me but I can hardly see out of it bc field of view is so narrow. Also the tri-pod is kinda weak so it was difficult for me to keep the scope from "jumping" around to see clearly. I was using it to zero in at only 100 yards and found it disappointing. Again maybe it's just me or my particular scope.

It all depends on how you mount the scope. Co-witnessing will work but at higher mangnifications the front sight post will be blurred like any magnified scope.

There is a very good reason for it, actually. You can use the red dot sight with the rear clear cover even if the front cover is still closed. It is perfect in case you don't have time to open the front cover, or if it is raining, blowing dust, etc. Since red dot sights were originally designed to be used by keeping both eyes open you will still see your target and the red dot will be superimposed on it.

First off, if you have enough money to buy this optic for use playing airsoft- holy crap. Secondly, no- it should not break the buttons. I have seen these take sim rounds directly to the glass and still function; that aside from IEDs and general military abuse, EOtech makes some resilient equipment.$600 for a sight to use while playing airsoft?! I need to get into your line of work.

you don't have to. You can have them co-witness as many others did with their red dot. Personally I don't like that because i feel the iron sight is distracting. But its only personal preference.

You might be able to co-witness fixed sights through this optic [Monst Tac S330P] but the optic can still be used in daylight with dead batteries like a traditional cross-hair-type scope. This enabled me to save weight and money by not mounting 45 degree offset back-up iron sights on my latest sporting rifle.

I use the two orange buttons on top like a gun sight to aim it. its 135 degree FOV so you dont have to supper on target with all the moving around, say a mountain bike or motorcycle will be doing. a few degrees off is fine, no one can tell.
