This optic is described as having the ability to center the red dot. Does this mean the optic has its own red dot?

This optic does NOT have a red dot but you are able to center the optic to your red dot sight..once you have sighted in your red dot sight using the windage and elevation adjustments you simply mount this optic behind your red dot sight and adjust using the windage and elevation adjusters on the optic itself until your red dot is centered .

No, its just the magnifier, but if you put this magnifier behind a red dot that is cowittnessed and then swap it to one that is bottom 1/3 cowittnessed on the same mount, the dot will not be centered in the magnifier. This has knobs that allow you to move the focus of the magnifier to center the dot.

No. The magnifier can adjust to center in the field of view of the magnifier whatever is being magnified.

No, it is simply a magnifier with the ability to adjust to the red dot it is looking at. If your dot doesn't line up perctly to the center of the magnifier, you can adjust it to the center. Works good with my eotech.

I'm not really sure... but the red dot that in the scope is perfect and it shows up in the day time very well. Love the scope!

It is not a true holographic sight like an eotech. ..where the image is created between 2 thin panes of glass. The sight mark is a red dot still where a beam is projected on the glass. It is a good red dot for the price though.

1X red dot sights (RDS) typically have unlimited eye relief. If you can see the dot, you can get the hit no matter how close or how far your eye is from the RDS. I placed it at T5 on my full Picatinny and zeroed it in; I now get an approx. 3" grouping at 50yds, which is all I'm after for this gun & sight.

Yes, the etched dot reticle is easily seen in daylight. The firm brightness dail is set from "Off -10. I found that the red dot is easily visible in bright sun once the dail goes above "5". It actuallt flares at the "10" setting in daylight. Im still impressed with this optic.

Only the reticle (cross hairs) from the eye piece. The object (view) could not be. I have been told by a friend that some scopes have another adjustment on the other end that adjusts range focus (I'm not sure about that). Honestly, I am not sure if mine was not just defective, or just too cheap for proper focus. I my case I wanted a scope that was useful at a distance that was further than I could simply use open sights. I mean why else buy a scope?

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.

I purchased this red dot and returned it. I am also cross dominant. When shooting with a rifle scope or red dot, eye dominance, in my opinion isn't as important as when you shoot with a handgun. If you have the $$$ go with an aim point or eotech. I returned the HD7 because the windage adjustment did not work. I went w/the cheaper option and replaced with the Bushnell red dot. It gets the job done.

It is a variable scope. From 1x to 4x adjustable. It is a true rifle scope and not a reflex red dot sight. However it has an illuminated reticle if you choose to use it. The standard reticle is etched glass and black. It comes with two batteries and you can choose to use the illuminated reticle or use the standard one. And it has 5 brightness settings for both red and green for contrast in bright sunlight to darkness. The reticle is a dot with a circle around it instead of a crosshair. I hope this answered your question.

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.

Bushnell doesn't specify but typically Red Dots like it are set parallax free at 50 yards. I checked mine and it has about 1/2" of dot movement at 3 yards at the extremes of the exit pupil so it's not significant if you have your eye anywhere near centered. Since this sight is intended for shotguns and handguns any parallax at very long range is a non-issue.

yes it does. if ur aim is not straight ur dot will not be in the middle, but if u have the dot on the target u will hit it .. the dot does not have to be dead center of ur site to hit the target... works GREAT.. hop that is what u are asking ??

Don't know if this helps, but it has a T reticle and the center dot is about the same size as every red dot I've ever used.

I personally have the red and green dot and love being able to switch between the two. There are times that I need to make a contrast between my sight picture and the dot itself. I have qualified with this sight on my ar-15 as my patrol (duty) rifle and it performed perfectly. I hope I answered your question, and if you decide to buy this product I hope you have as much success as I have!

Excellent question. Yes, it does. It is great at taking out distant targets and close quarters battle. The illuminated reticle is great at picking off the zombies at medium distances 100 to 200 yds away. The red dot's quick target acquisition is great at keeping the zombie hordes from overwhelming you.

This is designed just for these rifles and no other mount is needed. I would not recommend this red dot, I could not get it anywhere near zero when boresighting and the rear optic cracked while trying to adjust it. You get what you pay for.

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.
