when looking thru the scope...is there supposed to be a reticle or just the red dot. mine just has the dot. how do i get a consistent sight?

there is just a red dot. where the red dot is placed will be your point of impact. the sight works very well and seems to hold zero well.

Its just a dot you must keep your eye directly behind center of the unit where the dot appears to be centered and about 8" behind it for safety imho this scope is only good at 50yrds or less as there is no magnification

Mine came with the chevron Reticle. It is the only reticle on mine. The only I can change is the color and the brightness of the reticle. Great scope though!

Did you install the rear sight? If so, how did everything turn out? Do the front and rear sights line up and provide accuracy? I have the 590A1 and am looking forward having this kit installed. thx for the feedback.

I have a reflex sight in front of mine. I adjusted the magnifier so the red dot was centered

Not red dot. It has crosshairs with distance compensating lines. I recommend this package. I'm pleased with mine.

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.

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.

Gerald, you should see the red dot in the scope and you should see the red dot outside the scope at whatever you are pointing at.

You won't need a red dot on top of scope even though there are rails on the top and side to mount it. On 3 power you can still keep both eyes open and still see the large circle red dot for CQC applications without the need for another red dot. The red dot on top will be pretty high.

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

I have never had an issue with the supplied scope. I got a laser sight thing to set up the scope and it still seems accurate. Make sure your optics are properly mounted.

Sorry can't help you. I just utilize the scope that came with the rifle. It's been a good rifle for me.

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?

Are the quick releases tight? Is the focus on your magnifier correct? Which reticle do you have? Define accurate for you. It's a combat sight. Cover the target with the reticle and pull the trigger. At 50yds offhand, I'm shooting 2inch groups rapid fire with the amber triangle. Out at 100yards I can get a smaller group prone. That's as far as I've shot.

The color of the reticle corresponds to the color of the light pipe on the top of the scope - in this case it would be a red reticle unless they have the wrong picture shown. Hope that helps.

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?

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