I bought this red dot and my reticle is oblong and slightly fuzzy even on lower settings. Is this typical of this particular unit or did I get a dud?

My reticle is a bit oblong, also. I can't answer if this is typical of this model it but doesn't bother me or my shooting.

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

The first one I got looked like a smudged triangle and it had scratches on and around the lens. The second one I got was much better still not really a dot but much better and this one works fine. I say return it...hope that helps.

Mine is perfectly round and crisp at all brightnesses. Perhaps you do have a dud.
248083
Typical of red dots in my experience. Even those considered to be the best. To be a little out of round and fuzzy.

Mine is sharp and clear at lower power settings, tends to bloom somewhat at higher power, but remains circular.

Mine is also a little fuzzy. I was also wondering if maybe I had a bad one or if it's just a quality thing with these lower priced units. I can live with mine it isn't real bad just not a sharply defined dot.

Mine was real, don't know about the one ur getting. There are ways to determine though, u can look online to see the difference, one thing u'll notice is that if u focus on the reticle, it is blurry, it is meant for quick reaction and works with both eyes open. Reticle will come clear when U actually look at the target and not focus on the reticle. I did end up buying the 3x magnifier and when u put that on, it makes it clear, but the 3x is for long range, both eyes open won't work with the 3x magnifier. This is ideal for close range only.

the one I got is mil dot reticle in blue red and green. zero doesn't hold at different distances and I am having difficulty moving my group to center of target

I have that same Eotech sight and it works perfectly. It lines up great with the Eotech sight and you don't get any ghosting on the red dot sight either. Have used it on the range with my Eotech and it functions perfectly. Definitely worth the money.

Depends on your setup but im pegging 3" groupings around 300 to 350ish yards with it on my core 15 5.56 depends also on if your piston driven or not. The red dot I find to be more for looks than functionality they way its mounted you cant really get a good view because the eye relief on the main scope is around 1.5" to 2" so ive got it locked in right at the back of my rail and the red dot is just to close but it dose function and it does hold zero even with 500+ rounds I've had no issues.

ours came with a small scope...and as I am unsure of what a Red Dot Sight is...I can ask my husband and get back to you. I want to say that you should be able to take the included scope off and attach a different one.

Yes.the why I see it is,this is a crosshairs first,red dot second optic for me,although both work flawlessly,I mainly purchased this scope to use the crosshairs and really only use the dot in lowlight situations.FYI,the dot is quite bright in daylight hours.

I haven't had that problem but I am not completely happy either with my own issue. The windage knob on the rear sight moves when I change the sight aperture from large to small. This obviously changed my zero. I kept them only because I was looking for a work around and they were relatively inexpensive. They had good reviews but I wouldn't buy again.

If you're are talking about a double projection of the reticle...then yes, slightly. The dot seems to be the clearest and least problematic with this HWS.

There was a few bad ones in some of the batches they have gotten. Mine took around 100 rounds to get right. A3 Adams Arms upper was a bear to sight in. I can only tell you what I did. Sighted in at 25 yards. Then moved out to the 100 yard mark. I used a bench rest rifle holder to make sure I was STEADY!! only had the DOT reticle until it was zeroed at the 100. You can call them. The OWNER will work you through any problems. If he can't solve the issue. He will replace the bad one.

Mine did need a small amount of calibration, my elevation line was too high. Fire at a fixed target from a padded flat surface. Mark your targets and check your calibration accordingly.

Hi-Yes- The reticle has mil-dots on the left and right horizontal and upper vertical. The lower vertical has BDC. Just to let you know that this is the only scope I have ever had that was dead on out of the box at 150 yards on an AR15 platform.. Love it

Hi, did you wind up buying this? If so, did it fit well on your scope? Is it better than the awful red-dot finder that the 114eq comes with? How much so if it is? Is it worth getting? Or is one of either the telrad or reigel reflex sights a better choice for the 114eq?

The scope arrived with the wrong red dot fast fire III. I called Amazon and they corrected the problem on the spot and I had it in two days. I mounted the unit and headed to the range. The Burris XTR works great, zeroed in 4 rounds and is in use for my 3-gun competitions. I have shaved off all kinds of time getting on target quickly. Hope this works for you and good luck. MRH

When I look through a eo tech with its red dot and circle they are very fuzzy to me. The triangle reticle is sharp with no blur and comes to a nice fine point which I use for aiming. I really don't know how a astigmatism would effect it but for my eyes it's great.

You are one of the lucky ones. Evidently the one we received from Amazon had been returned to them and then they sold it again. We have had nothing but problems with the gun. In our opinion it is not worth the money spent. We have tried everything anyone suggested: new scope, better mounts, tried 5 different pellets and even resorted to sending it back to GAMO and they returned it working the same as prior to sending it back. Good luck with yours.

I returned mine, you could see the dot fine but ran through almost a full box of 9mm and still couldn't get it adjusted correctly, they were good about taking it back but after the bad experience I decided to go a different path.......good luck
