does the red dot sight come installed
1477876
Mine came mounted; but then again, when *I* got it, the blister pack had already been cut open. It wasn't new, so I cannot guarantee that. ------ Personally, I took it off after 3 weeks. It was easier to range targets with the iron sights (trusting the red dot at different distances does not work, BB's fly in a REAL arc, and pellets less so, but, it is still either rising or falling - I believe the arc is about +4 inches, and point blank is at about 12-14 yards). If you keep the dot sight on it, mount it *forward* on the pistol "slide", it makes cocking it easier. You do not want to be smashing your dotsight to close the pistol for a shot. And the "green fishing line" F.O.'s work well. Even for my girls, age 8 and 10. --------- ps, great little plinker for accuracy. ---------- for FUN shooting, i got the umarex colt defender. all metal, 1.5 lbs like the real one, only CO2 for BB's, so it sucks for accuracy, if you want to get closer than 8" at 36 ft. but it is fun to plonk 16 shots in 6 seconds, without the pumping and loading. -------- Don't worry about it being installed, that should not be a deal breaker. I bought it cause it was about 5 bucks more, so the plan was to put it on something else anyways. It's just a pellet gun, so all you do is screw it on to the rails, I doubt the acronym MOA ever came up in the engineering discussions. you have to zero all sights for your environment, anyways, so just get it, and go film your new tv series "Squirrel Commander"! --------- Have FUN.

Found this good one on the web somewhere: NcSTAR Tactical Cantilever Red and Green Dot Sight.

It is included, but note that it sits too high on the rail for anything other than an EOTech, and you may need a riser for your red dot. Also, on mine, the focus was perfect on 3-8 power, but goes out of focus badly at 9 & 10 power. Perhaps you will have better luck.

do you need the piece that makes red dot scope go up and down in the back of the rail??

No but the matching front sight does. The rear sight will adjust left and right. They are great sights.

The red dot sight that came with my crossbow was in a box labelled "NcSTAR" "Item# DP3/8." It sells for less than $10. Do not count on using this sight. Even a cheap scope such as "http://www.amazon.com/SNIPER-Compact-Scope-Rangefingder-reticle/dp/B00AGB1JOO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1406134278&sr=8-4&keywords=crossbow+scope" will be a vast improvement.

Yes, but I would recommend getting the rear-sight package, which I didn't. It really needs that to compliment it. It is better than the original sight.

Yes it does. Will fit very snug and co witness the original sights. I love it.

No, it is a hand-held device. It has no crosshairs or red dot aiming features.

It has the attached mount on the red dot, MAKE SURE that you get the high mount.

No it does not. Purchased a high rise rail for my rifle because I kept the iron sights on. Fits perfect.

Possibly. Sights (front & rear) and red dot need to be on the same sight plane. Good luck.

Yes, but the rear sight fits a little loose. I had to add a set screw to tighten properly.

Yes it does. I actually just removed the pin that holds the sight on and replaced the sight. Made it much easier to install by not removing the base. The front sight is a pain to remove. I love the sights though. Huge upgrade. I would suggest having a gunsmith install.

no, you cannot co witness the sights and the red dot but it is still a good product
