What about the glass? I want to use this sight for paintball, because it´s big the odds of a direct hit are high.

My glass was cracked. Shipping probable. Not to bad reflection tho . The reticle is kinds hard to see in direct bright sunlight. Good for paintball. But i wouldent trust my life with it on a wepon.

The glass reflexs alot out side, and itll sit about 2.5 inchs off the marker so your hopper might be in the way.

It doesnt look as good as the pictures. Its cheap, i think the led and glass are held on to the body with double sided tape and a spring for elevation adjustments. Even on the brightest settings you wont be able to see the red or green reticle outside during the day. I honestly cant say enough bad things about this sight. I put one on my bullpup 12 guage and it was broke before i put 50 shells down range.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. My concern was that in bright daylight I would not be able to pick up the front sight once painted. I have a tritium insert so I have no problem under dark conditions or even at night.

Not sure what you mean by "glass etched". The reticle is standard mil-dot that illuminates red or green. I have it on a Remington 700 for hunting. Works great.

I find the viewing area fine, you have several feet field of view at 50 yds. Plus you can see everything immediately outside the window since your eye is not cupped to the sight as it would be with a scope. I have mine mounted on a pistol, and it does take some practice in "finding" the red dot (the gun needs to be held/pointed fairly close on target to see the red dot in the window). It would be easier on a rifle. All in all, I really like the sight.

I always leave it to personal preference. I think the best application for this sight is a turkey shotgun or muzzle loader.

Yes, I guess it ultimately depends on the sights and the model though really. I have a Ruger SR-556, with the stock flip up sights and the visibility actually works pretty well looking through this Eotech, approximately 2/5 of the way up the glass maybe? Not right in the middle, which would be perfect, but plenty usable without having to remove the system. I had to move the sights back and forth a little to make everything fit the way I wanted but it looks good.

For $550, yes it is the best choice. If your serious about competition your going to have to spend a lot more that $550 on glass. This is a great entry level optic but it doesn't have a very good adjustable objective. That being said, your not going to find anything better for $550.

Not that I can tell. That glass is designed to achieve the infinite focus. Without it, it wouldn't be possible.

Yes, it does. I own one and have used it in many paintball games. From firsthand experience, during one game I was shot in the left side of the visor (directly over my eye) by a paintball travelling at 280 fps and it took it like a champ. If you want to use it for airsoft, it'll last a lifetime. For paintball, I would replace the visor if it took a more than a few direct hits. It'll protect you just fine :)

My best guess is time and light reflection. It is a combat sight and if you use both eyes the red dot still appears to your brain even when the front cover is down and you don't really want that chance of reflection, off the glass 100%, of the time. You can take off the front and place a honeycomb cover on it.. the best option

I wouldn't spend the money. The glass is very hazy. I find it easier to shoot with iron sights. I don't use mine. Save for a better brand or get a real scope.

To be honest I don't know but, I used them for for AirSoft I got shot with on the Right side of the Glass with a BB going at 400 Feet Per Second (fps). It only made a crack. Hope this gives you an Idea of how strong they are.

depends. Its Japanese glass. very good for what you spend money on. I did a night shoot with it with. Just don't dial it up the the max. Maximum resolution is very fuzzy. its probably best to keep it around 20 in low light. I use an US optics 3.2-17 these days. Try looking up SWFA to get more scope for your money. There is no dial stop with this brand or caps to go over your turrets. If you like to hump your scope in the bush, this is not the scope for you. Its not amazing a bench scope either so its a pretty good beginner scope.

Why bother ? Juts use the adjustment screw driver and get on target. This is a GREAT optic by the way, buy at least one !

yes i have shot at it with my bolt action sniper at 510 fps point plank very small scratch the bb shatterd and the glasses were fine.

I say do it... I put mine on a Mosin Nagant and even tho I haven't had a chance to get it to the range yet I'm happy. Glass is clear and sight picture is easy to find. I'm a little bias because all I own are BSA optics and this is the first pistol scope I've ever had. Hope this helped.
