Red Dot Sight with 4 Different Reticles

Here are my impressions of the Aim Sport Red Dot Sight.First the pros...The sight arrived in original plastic retail package in perfect condition. The sight is constructed of aluminum with a black matte finish. The machining looks very professional and I see no obvious flaws in workmanship. I had read previous reviews about over tightening the front recoil mounting screw so I was careful not to to strip it but I did not get the impression the threads were weak. The sight included two allen wrenches, lens cleaning cloth, rubber sight hood cover and an extra battery (CR2032). The sight comes with a battery installed and when I turned the turret to any of the positions 1 through 7 the red dot functioned as expected. The feel of the turret switch is solid with positive click positions at each stop. The battery is inside this turret switch. The windage and elevation screws are allen heads and also have a positive click.I am not sure what the holographic lens it constructed of but it appears to be glass and has a slight blue tint when looking through the site, but still very transparent with no obstruction of the target in any light condition. The small red dot appears to be the most functional reticle for precision target work as the others are much larger but could be useful in hunting or plinking situations in brighter light. Shooting indoors at the range the small red dot on the lowest setting (1) was clearly visible without any noticeable glaring or distortion. I had read some reviews that you cannot see the reticle in bright sunlight but when I used the sight at noon with clear skies I was able to view even the small red dot on the lowest setting (1) and when increased to setting (3) could easily pick up the red dot even with the sun at my back and the sunlight shining directly on the sight. Not sure what conditions the other reviewers were shooting in, but I believe the sight functioned perfectly in low and bright light conditions.The sight stayed on zero after several hundred shots and I was able achieve nickle sized groups consistently at 30 feet shooting two handed without a rest using a browning buckmark.Now for the cons...The only negative I experienced with the sight is that the screw at the front part of the sight that holds the upper portion of the sight to the base will work loose after a few hundred shots. This is easily corrected by removing the screw and applying locktite to the threads. So, I would recommend after you have inspected the sight for damage and perhaps shot with it some, you do the same and lock the front screw in place with locktite. To do this, with the sight removed from the gun, remove the front recoil mounting screw completely. With this removed you will see a straight slot screw head on the underneath side of the sight. This screw will be directly below where the sight window (mirror) is located. Remove the screw completely (the sight will not come apart as the elevation screw and springs hold the rear part in place. However, be gentle as excessive handling or twisting with the screw removed could cause the sight to come apart). With the screw removed apply the locktite to the end and then reassemble the sight. Tighten the screw until it fits snugly but do not over tighten. There is small foam pad between the upper and lower portion of the sight and that will begin to compress when at the proper fit.I also recommend to apply locktite to the front and rear mounting bolts before mounting to the gun just to ensure these stay put. I did not experience any loosening of these bolts while shooting but while you have the locktite out you might as well. Again be sure not to over tighten any of these three screws or you will strip the housing.Improvements would be for the factory to securely fasten the front housing screw which could help prevent negative reviews of the sight not staying on zero. Once this screw is secure, maintaining zero in not an issue. Also some basic mounting and operation instructions for novice shooters might be helpful as there were none in the package I received. However, the sight is very intuitive to mount and use so not an issue but more about good customer service and professional appearance.Overall I was very pleased with the sight and would recommend it as a high quality sight and good value. If you are looking for a good quality red dot for target, plinking or hunting this sight will fit the bill. Especially if your eyes are getting a little older and have trouble with those pesky fuzzy iron sights which was the main reason I purchased a red dot.Update... After about 1500 rounds the sight window came loose. Up until that point the sight had held it's zero perfectly. I re-glued the sight window back in place and re-zeroed the sight. After another 500 rounds I have had not further problems. I still believe overall it is worth the money.

As far as reflex sights go, this isn't an expensive zero-parallax, red-green, solar/nuclear powered reflex sight. I knew I wasn't getting any of those features when I spent less than $40 dollars on this item. For the price, the value offered is exceptional. It took a bit of finessing to zero-in. I turned the vertical adjustment screw at least 5 full turns. It seems that it didn't want to catch or something. Once I got it zeroed in, it's been able to hold zero reasonably well. I took the gun to the range and it worked fine. Then I took it out on a trail (going through some pretty dense woods while it was suspended on a one-point sling) and even though it was bumped around quite a bit, when I brought the gun up to ready, the reticle pointed exactly where my bullets went. It comes with a little rubber sleeve that slides over the lens. That's nice, though it's a bit awkward to take off and put back on. On the brightest setting, this sight works great in daylight, though it's best if you have a bit of shade. On it's dimmest setting, it's still a little bright/blurry for night use. If you have a tactical light on your rifle to use in conjunction, though, it works well. I've only had it for two weeks, but if it lasts 6 months, it'll be more than worth the price for me and I'd buy it again.

So I got this sight because the one that came with my AEG was a p.o.s. It was all plastic and broke from me just turning it on. I saw this was only $30 and figured it was worth a shot. I was very disappointed in how it was shipped however. I literally watched ups chuck it at my door and land on stone stairs and drove away. When I brought it inside it was in a plastic bag covered with two thin pieces of cardboard and nothing on the sides. I was worried it was broken but opened it and it worked (which to me means this is very high quality if it took that kind of hit because believe, me im not joking when I said he chucked it at my door). It mounts very easy on enhanced m4 s-system and was very easy to adjust with the alen keys they give you. All of the different reticles work and are VERY visable indoors and outdoors. I recommend not to use it on its highest setting inside however because it literally blinded me but outside on its highest you can see it without a problem, even on a really sunny day. The only complaint I have about this is (and im not sure if this happened when the ups guy threw it) the dial is wrong and I cant figure out howto adjust it. When its off it should be set to "0". But on mine off is "2" and the highest setting is "1" while "3" is the lowest. Like I said not sure if its a defect with all of them or just mine because or the toss. Overall amazing product for the price seeing its all metal. Just make sure you watch for this packaged so yours doesn't get thrown at a door like a football

I wanted to like this. I really did. Unfortunately, it just wasn't meant to be.I'll give you the pros, first.Pros:-Bright red-dot sight even at the lowest setting-Multiple reticle options to set it up how you want it-Picatinny rail mount makes it easy to attach.-Adjustment for windage works wellCons:-Adjustment for elevation doesn't work at all. This is the main reason I gave it only 2 stars. Out of the packaging, the sight was pushing the barrel WAY low. I turned the adjustment a couple of times (I had adjusted windage first, so I had a sense of how much difference a single rotation would make) and. . .nothing happens. The red dot remains just as far off target as before. Really? So I start taking a closer look. It appears that the screw that adjusts elevation was, well, either broken or simply unattached to whatever it is that it screws in to. It appears that it was broken before arrival, but who knows at what point. It makes me nervous enough, though, that if it's either so delicately made that it breaks in shipping OR it's broken at factory, neither one bodes well for its future durability.I'm off to search for alternative sighting systems.

Put this on a ruger 22/45 lite. Liked the look and build of the unit. Put it on and sighted in and was dead on...after a few hundred rounds it just went out of zero. Got it lined up again and it lost zero again. Almost seems like it's losing zero when I change reticles...not all that impressed ....... Well I found why it was not holding zero. The screw under the sight was coming loose; so I put lock tite on it and haven't had an issue since. Great little sight for the money!

everything I was hoping for. haven't sighted it in yet, but looks solid enough for what I paid for it. I like the number of reticules, from a small red dot and up. I'd recommend this.***two years later, I just bought a second one, nothing wrong with the first one,like it so much, I'm putting another one on another gun. great value.

Broke after two weeks of sitting on a shelf. What a product. At least the lens and reticles were nice while they worked.

For the indoor range I use brightness and clarity of the various dots is good. However, I have been having some trouble with the dot not moving fully with adjustment and then wandering. Horizontal is good but vertical is a problem.I suspect the springs are not quite strong enough. Given the low cost if I can get the zero to settle down I will be pretty happy. Much better than iron sites. My shot spread has reduced to about half what I achieve with my old eyes and iron sites.

fits the weaver base well for my ruger Blackhawk looks great too...
