WHAT IS A HOLOSIGHT VERSES RED DOT?
1578547
Holographic sight projects the reticle onto the target. If you have trpuble seeing clearly at a distance than a holographic sight reticle will seem blurry. Whereas a red dot is projected onto the lens of the sight.

Unlike a laser or red dot sights (reflex), the holographic image projects no forward light onto the target and thus no position revealing light. The projected reticle is only visible by the operator. The operator remains completely hidden downrange even against night vision systems.

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 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.

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.

Inside 100 yards it's fine, but beyond that the red dot probably is too large for small targets, unless you set the brightness down a bit.

Adriel is right. The bright red light from optical mice is not a laser--it's a bright red LED. Laser mice use a nearly invisible laser beam to track surfaces with greater accuracy compared to optical mice.

Keith, YES... My wife's car is red and yes you will see the laser dot. Really your supose to pick a spot on your dash maybe thats a different color. but the short answer is Yes.

a LED dot is better...anyone who calls this a laser is not familiar with optical sites. Laser sites are ok but personally an LED sight is easier.

Neither. It's a compact scope for short range or use in heavy scrub. The other model, vrx, has an illuminated red dot in the centre.It's an excellent scope, perfectly fit for purpose. I have mine mounted on a Marlin 45-70, that I used in South East Queensland in heavy mulga scrub. Perfect for those quick acquisitions of pigs as they run between the bushes and trees.

Yes, their is actually a dot present in the center of the crosshairs when the red dot is not emitting light. In other words, you do not need to have to reticule lit in order to acquire a target.

the scope was trouble for me as well, i bought a simple red dot holograph and put it on there. worked better.

I don't have astigmatism so I don't know really. Like other red dots, the reticle does look fuzzy if you're looking directly at it. It looks sharp and proper when you're looking PAST the dot, at your target. I'm not sure if this sight will be any better for you or not.

I'm not sure what kind of sight u r referring to but I mounted a red field small red dot beside my scope. The fit was close to the receiver which keeps the red dot out of harms way and keeps the zero dead on for quick and close accuracy.

It helps with both hip shot and aiming. The red dot helps you acquire target faster which equals higher accuracy

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.

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!
