hello owners, i am planning to put this sight on a galil 223. i shoot on a outdoor range, is the red dot bright enough for outdoor range ?

It has 7 brightness settings with 7 being brightest, it is definitely bright enough for an outdoor range.

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

No, mine works great, after getting used to it, i use the front sight with the red dot to ad some accuracy at certain ranges.

Sure but, I personally wouldn't put it on anything much larger than a .223 because it is an expensive scope. I have mine mounted on an AR15 and it works well but I wouldn't trust it on anything over .308 because of the recoil. I mainly shoot open sights but I wanted to check out the benefits of magnification without lightening my wallet too much. Eventually, I plan to buy a high quality scope and move this one to my Ruger 1022 for plinking.

It looks like there is a dovetail in front of the rear sight. You could mount a red dot. However it would move with the the slide when you cock the gun..not sure how accurate it would be..its more of a 'fun gun' for short range tin can plinking..

I Can see 5.56 and .308 at 300 yardd but I suggest using dirty bird or similar targets for best visibility at this range.

Unless your target is 1000 yds away, you won't cover it with the very tiny single dot reticle. The dot circle may obstruct you view a little at normal ranges but you still have 2 other choices and one of them will allow you to get on target fast without obscuring the target. I was just at the range a week ago and was very pleased with how well this sight performs. And yes, the single dot reticle is my first choice precisely because it doesn't obscure the target.

Yes you can see in the day light. Its not as bright as the red. At night it super bright and you can see the green beam all the way to the target. I have it on my ar15. I've been very happy. Also if you any firearms give us a call Elite Tactical Firearms 407-951-9088

the brightness is good outside the times I have used it outside , even though I use it mostly at an indoor range, on a MP 15-22

I found the gun to be very accurate at about 23'. However the fixed sights were terrible. In my case, it caused the gun to shoot >6" low at the 23'.I added a red dot sight, and quarter size groups are now typical through 2 1/2 clips (~40 shots). I am shooting RWS Superdomes (preferred) and RWS Diablo Basic.

I find the viewing area fine, you have several feet field of view at 50 yds. Plus you can see everything immediately outside the window since your eye is not cupped to the sight as it would be with a scope. I have mine mounted on a pistol, and it does take some practice in "finding" the red dot (the gun needs to be held/pointed fairly close on target to see the red dot in the window). It would be easier on a rifle. All in all, I really like the sight.

I bought this because of the upper sight can be used should the batteries fail. When you sight in the scope verify with optic, then with bore sight. That being said, it still depends on distance and wind!

That would make your front sight be substantially lower, and would only be effective if you were shooting out to 300+ yards. There are smaller quarter inch risers that will help a little bit more - but remember that you want your front and rear sights to be level if you're shooting at a closer range. Any further than your iron sights practical range, then you should be using a scope... Unless you're one of those hardcore guys trying to shoot the grand with iron sights and a rifle chambered in 5.56! +1 for the M&P; 15 Sport!

I have it set up on my AR and it has it's short comings. I would prefer the sights to be alittle higher. If you're not running back up iron sights then it works great.

It would be excellent for a 10/22. Good price for a quality scope. My only disappointment stemmed from the dim led optics. Very hard to see in Daylight and even cloudy/indoor conditions.

Red lasers can be seen up to about 100 feet outside in the daytime quite well. Above that, depends on what you are aiming at and the target color.

I'm shooting at a 100 yard outdoor range, so it's not a problem for me at that distance. Can't vouch for beyond that. Most shooters I know use a scope for beyond 100 yards, and a red-dot like Lucid's HD7 for CQC and less than 100 yard engagements.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. My concern was that in bright daylight I would not be able to pick up the front sight once painted. I have a tritium insert so I have no problem under dark conditions or even at night.
