There, I said it...lol. Owning perhaps upwards of 15 of these units, from a $25 dollar version on a Crossman Vigilante, to an official $250 C-More on a Tanfoglio Gold Custom. For the most part I try to keep cost below or around $75, for these replica airpistol sights. Now I'm by no means an authority or expert on the subject, but I do know quality from crapolla when it comes to optics, owning some serious business scopes on my big bore (30-30 /30-06 / 270) hunting rifles. Some of these Red Dots I received were just plain junk, repackaged and returned as soon as time would allow. Others are acceptable and do the job required, no bells or whistles. Yet others shine (no pun), like the Sightmark / Crimson Trace / C-More / Cyelee sights, but are above $100 mark. My favorite "budget"(?) sights till now have been either the Kalkan or Swamp Deer, at around the $65 range. THEN this Red Dot caught my eye on Amazon. 15 to 20 You Tube videos later persuaded me to give it a shot. The next day Amazon had it on my doorstep. (Amazon will surely be the end of me....lol). Best all around Red Dot of the bunch, with even more functionality than its $250 counterpart. I now own three. A few of my sons friends have even put them on their real steel fun target guns. Does everything their $400 Holosun or Sig Romeo does, albeit stepped down up bit.
***Creative XP Glass Eagle Red Dot Sight.....$62.95 on Amazon (was $49 last week)
***"Shake Awake"....(Auto on/off if desired) Long batt life. CR2032
***Top load battery (No need to remount sight after battery change)
***Large/clear lens for easier viewing
***Well made sturdy aluminum construction
***Allen key wind/elev adjustments. (Those slotted screws on others can be quite annoying at times). No tactical "clicks" though...
A good solid all around "micro" pistol sight, with many functions, and looks pretty good to boot. Comes with picatinny rail adapter plate. Just throwing it out there if you're a Red Dot guy....
Honorable Mention...................
