Friend just bought brand new RMR adjustable 3.25 red dot (I need one too)The red dot looks like grain of bread instead perfect circle. Thoughts?

One way to test this (it's most certainly your vision though, I have 20/10 vision and I still see a minuscule high right distortion) is to hold the sight and turn it on its axis 360 degrees while still looking through the sight. If it looks like the distortion stays in the same position while you are turning the sight, it's your vision.

True it's not a perfect circle but as I was tucking my shirt in, my IWB holster flipped upside down and my glock 19 fell onto the concrete and it landed right on the sight and beaver tail. My beaver tail broke and the RMR was perfectly fine. I was very impressed!!!!:)

One get your eyes examined, (really) and or have other people look through it as well.If the dot is oblong, send it back.

Due to this same type of issue I had my eyes checked shortly after encountering the problem. When I swapped over to my weak eye the dot came in perfect. At the eye exam it was discovered that I have micro scaring on the surface of my dominant eye that causes the issue. Depending on the issue you potentially it can be solved with simple surgery and you can then go merrily on you way back to the range free of visual problems.

Try adjusting the intensity to a lower setting. If you have any type of stigmatism all red dots will kinda appear that way as well. I found with mine that lowering the brightness helps if I'm not wearing my glasses.

I also see an oblong dot, almost a set of dots that seem not round. I was diagnosed a few years back with a "mild astigmatism", and although I do have glasses, I generally do not wear them. I was unsure if it was the astigmatism or a faulty unit, so spoke with Trijicon on the phone and they said to exchange the unit with a new one. I did so through Amazon and found that the new unit did the exact same thing. I believe that its the astigmatism, and although mine is so mild that I don't have the need to wear glasses, it still makes the laser dot seem oblong.

Some people with an astigmatism will see more than one dot or the dot will seem out of round. I am one of those people and you just get use to it over time. My aimpont and delta point do the same thing.

It's a 4 plex reticle. No mil dot, no hash marks of any kinds. Looks like 4 arrows pointing towards dead center. The glass is flawless, the light absorption is awesome, the turrets are great. Being that Redfield was bought out by Leupold it is made by their standards but not with their price. The Objective Diameter is pretty big. I had to buy Ultra High rings to mount to my AR. I'm pretty pleased with the scope. I would like a mil dot reticle but for the price it's pretty solid. Anything else I can help you with?

If the red dot is out of round, it is a reflection off the inside of your barrel, which means your boresight is really messed up. There is a video in the reviews that shows your problem. My problem is,the back end of casing is to small, allowing the back end of the bore sight to move up & down & side to side.

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.

If you modify?? I think it would cost more for the modification than the gun is worth and it would look ugly as sin. Get a red dot or real ruger target sights.

Says China. But I'm happy with it and my other Vortex products. I'm the one in ten that has the astigmatism, so I see a cluster of dots instead of a single dot. But its the same with Eotech and other popular red dots or prism type sights to me.

I checked the dovetail on the gun and it appears to be level so what I did is take the movable clamp on the sight off. Then I carefully filed the bottom making sure I kept it flat on the file. I did this a little at a time reinstalling it and testing until the cant was gone. The sight is a nice sight is nice but a better mount and adjustment arrows would have been nice.

Yes this is a typo, I ordered one because I saw many places around the net advertising them as illuminated, but ended up sending it back because the thin reticle would be hard to see in low light hunting without illumination. I contacted Bushnell and the guy there said he believes the illuminated version will start to be sold around the beginning of the year. I cant wait because I had the scope a few days(never mounted) and it was very clear, seemed very robust, and the reticle is very nice, except for the illumination. I'm hoping the Bushnell rep was accurate on his timescale, since I have a savage fcp-k sitting at home, never shot, waiting for a scope... its killing me. I have sent a message to Amazon telling them to fix this typo, but obviously those messages don't go to far. I hope this helped.

I compared my old M&PC; sights to my old Shield sights.they look close. The shield rear seems not quite as wide but by eyeball the dovetail seems to be the same profile. I have the Big Dot on my compact and wife's (my) Shield. The only reason my full size doesn't have them is because I'm putting a RMR and suppressor height sights on it.

not good...it's hard to see 100 meter target...red cross dot keeps flickering when you fire a 223 or 556 round.... sometimes it does not come on at all because of the shock of the round....I wish I could return it.

Ron, I just bought one of these. Wondered if you found a scope, red dot, etc. that you liked. Thanks.

I did not get my sight on perfectly straight. I have yet to get it to the range to see if it is good enough. My last sight had the same issue, so I'm not inclined to blame the sight. You might want to have a gunsmith stick it on for you. You might have better luck if you have a gun vice. I was afraid to use a vice myself. Well, that's my story.

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!

It's sight line is a little too low on mine, hard to see the dot with my aimpoint 5x magnifier. If that makes sense

focus on the target, not the dot. it should be clear then. if not, send it back for a replacement.

That is an inherent problem in ALL red dot style sights. The Lucid has other reticles to help with that, but if you are looking to go super long distance you should run a scope with crosshairs. If you're shooting a small target from long range and red dot scope may obscure the target. I use mine for 200 yards and less and haven't had a problem at all. For my long distance gun, I run a Nikon scope with crosshair reticle.

i have mounted a RED Dot Sight and it works perfect for my use, I Haven't install anything else. But i'm almost totally sure that with a red dot is more than you will need.
