do red dots need to be leveled like a scope does?

If you are talking about zeroing in the dot then yes. This scope gives you windage and elevation to adjust

Yes it does at least for a red dot level sight. Don't know about a precision scope.

To adjust the red dot you can use a penny or a flathead screw driver. It's an awesome sight. Def lives up to it's name.

Depends on the range. The dot never changes size so the farther you are from the target the larger the dot seems to be.

Yup. Just make sure u get a mount raiser. The dot needs about a half inch to an inch raiser so u arent double sighting.

"Useable yes, easy no" is my experience. If the sunlight is really bright, it is hard to see the red dot. Not a problem if you are doing simple distance measurements, but triangulation did not work well for me. It's great on a moonlit night!

No, I mounted it to the rail and looked through it and I could see the red dot and the front sight. Remember, I was looking down the hallway at home. Out at the range you can't see the red dot in sunlight. It's hard to sight in a scope if you can't see the dot.

It's fine because it is an absolute cowitness. This should line your red dot up with your iron sights perfectly allowing you to use them if your optic is damaged/batteries die

If you're seeing a cluster of dots in any red dot scope, 99.9% of the time its you're eye, not the scope. If you're over 35 years old its very common, just put the magnifier on it and that will take care of it.

Probably on the onset no.....but you should be able to adjust the red dot scope to align with the center post. That's what I did.

If I were you, I would put a good red dot on it. A cheap scope comes with the package. Hope this helps.

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

There should be enough play to level it out before you set the screws with lock tight. I'm guessing that the rings may be a bit high on your scope. See if you can find some lower profile rings but still keep it off the rail.

It only has a single horizontal and a single vertical line. There are dots up and down, and left and right on those lines. It is a nice scope, with a lot of color options. Has kept its zero. There is a distance adjustment turret on the left side

It's a red dot and it's a scope they are separate. Easy to set up, friend of mine wishes he would've bought this instead of separate, magnifier/red dot.

Yes, the 'cross hairs' are just like a traditional scope, you only lose the red dot, which helps find the center of the reticle in low-light situations. For daylight use, I usually leave the red dot turned off.
